MBB Recruiting: New 2018 Offer Jerome Hunter

Submitted by Matt EM on

Per his OH Nova AAU Coach and multiple outlets, 2018 combo-forward Jerome Hunter (Pickerington Central) has been offered today while taking an unofficial visit in Ann Arbor. Hunter becomes the fourth offer for the 18 class joining Brandon Johns, Cormay Ryan, and Robby Carmody. Should have much more on Hunter in the next few days

I can't help that I was raised to love the Lions. Actually I wasn't, my uncle and dad told me to pick a new team to root for before literally every season, yet for some reason I go into each season with renewed hope and enthusiasm. Why didn't I listen to them?!

Hey Matt, do you have any update on Cain? I saw on UM Hoops that Beilein might just pursue a couple 5*s and bank the scholarship if he can't get a commit. Do you know if Beilein has been in contact with Cain recently?

As of right now there is a commit freeze for the class of 2017 - JB will check in on Cain, Bowen, Wilkes, Jackson starting September 9th (and Cain in particular, on that very day) to see where their heads are at, most likely give them a few weeks, and give them a call/visit toward the end of September/early October to essentially say 'are you on board, or do we need to move on?'

At this point, I don't think Bowen is working with that time frame, and is looking for a UK offer. Wilkes is releasing a top 5 this weekend, so we'll know if we're in it for him soon enough.

Another poster asked me if 'we were putting all of our eggs in the Cain basket' - to that I say not intentionally, but I told him at the time that I was inclined to think Smith was viewed as 4, which is likely true considering the staff canceled his visit that was slated for Sunday.

Reading between the lines, it looks like Cain and Wilkes are the viable options at this point, as Bowen isn't deciding in late September, and I'm not inclined to think Jaren Jackson is either.. Isaiah Livers took Kyle Young's spot, so he's no longer an option.
