Michigan gets another CB for Jalen Terry
This time from Dylan Prezkop. Matt D said that Michigan hasn't even contacted him, but this is the second CB?
October 19th, 2019 at 12:26 PM ^
Is this a guy we honestly even want?
October 19th, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
If burnett goes elsewhere, ill take him.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:23 PM ^
Not me. I’d still rather have Moody, Springer, Christopher etc.
October 19th, 2019 at 2:21 PM ^
Early crystal balls are honestly a guess. He has never even visited.

Jalen Terry decommitted because he didn’t want to be apart of a 2 PG class
Zeb Jackson is committed to Michigan
Do the Math
Stop being fooled by media member crystal balls. Trust the recruiting experts
October 19th, 2019 at 1:38 PM ^
Zeb is sorta a point guard
October 19th, 2019 at 12:29 PM ^
First one was based off jack shit, second one was based off the first.
October 19th, 2019 at 12:31 PM ^
Just out of curiosity...is this kid someone we really need or want? Does MSU still want him or were they giving him the cold shoulder so he jumped ship? I don’t follow recruiting that close anymore so any insight would be great!
BEAT PENN STATE!!
October 19th, 2019 at 12:34 PM ^
We should use a different term than "CB" - I read that as "cornerback" and it throws me off.
October 19th, 2019 at 12:59 PM ^
Ok, we'll just start using DT.
October 19th, 2019 at 2:15 PM ^
BALLZZZZ
October 19th, 2019 at 12:44 PM ^
The staff has not been in contact with Jalen Terry. The guard priorities are clear in Nimari Burnett and Jaden Springer. Moses Moody can perhaps be lumped in with that group, although he's much more of a wing prospect.
Even if Zeb Jackson weren't already in the mix, and Burnett/Springer/Moody weren't plan A types, I don't know that the staff would make a move here.
October 19th, 2019 at 12:57 PM ^
Do you see Zeb as PG?
also do you see Burnett as a PG?
October 19th, 2019 at 1:37 PM ^
Zeb is a PG. His best quality on the offensive side of the ball is breaking down the defense and finding teammates on dump-offs IMO. Some of the scouts in OH that evaluate him in HS settings seem to believe he’s a high volume scorer that isn’t necessarily a willing passer, but more of a ball dominant prospect that takes a lot of contested jumpers off the dribble.
Nimari is the epitome of a combo-Guard. That term gets thrown around a lot as code word for prospects that don’t necessarily shoot the ball well, and also lack ideal playmaking/vision, but thrive as scoring iso guards. Burnett is a TRUE combo-Guard that can playmake for others on the ball, in addition to space the floor from distance as an off-ball shooter. Really versatile guard.
October 19th, 2019 at 2:12 PM ^
I also see Zeb as a high volume scorer at the 2 from watching his clips.
i haven’t watched any on Burnett but a good friends son played at PP, him and Burnett never played together but he’s still connected. When I asked he said he was told Howard is recruiting Zeb and Burnett as PG
October 19th, 2019 at 5:00 PM ^
Matt,
Does the staff view Christopher as a 3? Seems like him and Todd are tight, noticed Todd was considering ASU late. Was that because of Christopher?
October 19th, 2019 at 5:25 PM ^
Definitely view him as guard. Absolutely an on-ball guy as opposed to a wing.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:05 PM ^
Will Juwan's son Jace walk on? Can't see a scholarship going to him given the level of recruits we are still in the mix for. Pretty sure daddio can afford it.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:12 PM ^
Rich people don't become rich, or stay rich by being dumb.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:23 PM ^
You should buy a lottery ticket.
October 19th, 2019 at 2:11 PM ^
Lol. Equating money with intelligence is silly. I know a lot of wealthy people that ain’t that smart and I know a lot of smart people that ain’t that wealthy.
October 19th, 2019 at 2:20 PM ^
Rich people don't do dumb shit like pay the way for their D1 level basketball recruit of a son when he could give them a scholarship.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:08 PM ^
You make it sound like it is an expense with no benefit to the person incurring the expense e.g. Griese. Except that Howard gets basically an additional scholarship for the cost of tuition/board since his son doesn't take up one of the 13. In turn that benefits the team, particularly as scholarship management becomes increasingly important if we move to recruit one and done types. The program benefit should ultimately flow into benefiting Juwan's career and earnings (in theory). I mean, I'm not going to try to put a number on the EV of a scholarship saved but when you consider the revenue numbers in B1G basketball, coaches salaries, rumored numbers for bagmen fees on recruits, etc there are some pieces of evidence that suggest it's actually a pretty good investment for Juwan. One scholarship only gets you an incremental asset, no it's probably not a big deal, but given the $$$$ involved in hoops you don't have to move the needle much before you get a positive return.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:01 PM ^
You don’t have to be “smart.” Just not dumb. But it’s common sense that if I can give you something for four years for free, you’d take that over paying me $20,000 a year for the same thing. It’s not complicated.
October 19th, 2019 at 5:31 PM ^
And the impropriety or just flat out nepotism involved in giving a scholarship to his 3 star son, when that could go to a 4 or 5 star player is lost on you? It's not complicated at all if you don't think things through.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:24 PM ^
He can't walk on as a freshman after taking an official visit.
October 19th, 2019 at 2:27 PM ^
If none of those guys were involved, it would be pretty dumb to not go after Terry. And honestly, I wouldn't mind if we went after him anyway.
He's a really athletic player and it would do wonders for setting up in state recruiting. Height isn't everything in basketball
October 19th, 2019 at 3:10 PM ^
This is an excellent point. While Terry may not be at the top of the wish list getting one of the top in-state players is important for optics. And because the media is inundated with click-baiters you know Terry choosing Michigan over MSU would be brought up incessantly.
And while he and Zeb may have redundant skill sets having as many capable ball handlers as possible is critical for a free flowing and effective offense.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:10 PM ^
Hasn't even contacted him AFTER he decommitted. But maybe before,and why he decommitted.
October 19th, 2019 at 1:36 PM ^
LOL
Both sides keeping that a secret. A player Michigan wouldn't take now. A recruit who decommitted when MSU took another PG who is rated lower than Zeb Jackson. He's going to visit Louisville.
How does that add up?
October 19th, 2019 at 1:26 PM ^
Dude, totally loving the board post on mich-PSU game day about a singular crystal ball on 5’9 PG. Really great stuff, keep up with the hard hitting content
October 19th, 2019 at 2:14 PM ^
And yet you followed it all the way to the end.
October 19th, 2019 at 5:24 PM ^
We can not all be The Most Interesting Poster in the World, like some on this board pretend to be.
We should all just rejoice in our Lonely Message Board Guydom, post away, and keep scouring the internets for any information at all that pertains to Michigan.
October 19th, 2019 at 2:47 PM ^
Dont know squat about bball recruiting, but loving that we're essentially saying hell no to a 247 currently ranked #55 recruit. #thejuwaneffect
October 19th, 2019 at 3:05 PM ^
Well we currently have a guard commit ranked in the same range, and have a decent shot at a couple higher ranked guys.
I don’t think it’s necessarily a “hell no,” but the staff has not contacted him. We have higher ranked guys on the board. So he’s certainly not a priority at this point, and might be a backup plan down the line. But the crystal balls are certainly meaningless at this point.
October 19th, 2019 at 3:32 PM ^
I thought the family of coaches/tenured professor got a tuition break? Is that a misconception or it doesn't apply to scholarship athletes?
October 19th, 2019 at 5:20 PM ^
Michigan is so good now they are communicating by ESP
