How do I say this diplomatically......   We have a good shot here if Michigan actually wants to push for a commitment.  I'm not convinced they're still pushing for one at this point and feel like they're playing the field a bit.  Glenn has not been as consistent lately and I think that top-five is pretty telling.  How often do you see a top program like Michigan included with the likes of Iona, USF, and VaTech?  One of those things isn't like the others.

While I definitely agree, I think Glenn would still be a good pick up and fit for us. We definitely need someone who can play the 4 in this class and I really like Glenn’s motor, ability to put the ball on the floor, and pass despite his shooting being a work in progress. Think he could be a Herbert Jones type. He’s a guy who can make an instant impact but will also probably stick around for a while. Not to mention him being friends with the Howards should be good for team culture and continuity. With that being said, I think I’d prefer Dailey or Traore

That's a pretty optimistic outlook on the guy. He's been falling down the rankings for 2 years now. He has reported offer from Bama, FSU, LSU, Florida, yet none of them made this list. Meaning they seriously backed off. Those are some pretty big red flags. It's nice to have a fall back option, but it'd be pretty disappointing if it got to that point.

I'm not sure he is a top 100 guy tbh. We know the circumstance of why his list looks like this, no one else is recruiting him. He's a decent prospect, but doesn't have the upside of Barnes or a bankable skill like Tschetter. I'd put him as the worst recruit of the Juwan era besides Jace. Which yeah he's way ahead of Adrian Nunez for example, and if he comes in it's not a program destroying thing by any means. We'll be fine and it doesn't make Juwan any worse of a coach/recruiter. Maybe because he's tight with Juwan we can bank on him staying 4 years which could be valuable. But as a player he doesn't excite me at all.

I'm not sure what you think you are seeing here. His tape clearly shows a nice floor to his game. He is not an "off the charts" athlete but he is very fluid and flexible in his movement-more than simply "adequate" . He has an above average handle, sees the floor very well and his stroke shows good potential...and if Juwan takes him he will improve on all fronts.  Furthermore, I have seen a clip that took the time to highlight his defensive effort-which was both very good and functionally sound. 

This is a high level player. The reasons he has "slipped" in the rankings are more suspect than his skill level. Furthermore, I love the quote ascribed to him. Juwan will make the correct call here.

Yeah this is a tough one. If we have 5 spots and take Glenn along with Reed, Jett, Dug, and one more wing/big, that’s ok with me. Glenn just worries me because I’d like to see more progress out of him game and I would hate to think he’s peaking. So many other players are consistently getting written up as having added to their game with every recruiting update/new tournament being played. I don’t hear anything about Glenn, at all. It’s the lack of discussion of his progress that has me worried more than anything I think.
