Michigan is Trending Heavily for 5* Joshua Christopher
Michigan now has 8 Crystal Balls for Joshua Christopher, including 6 in the last three days. Additionally, it seems like the guys who were predicting UCLA have either dropped their predictions or switched to Michigan (is there a way to tell?), as there is now only 1 prediction for UCLA (from last September).
I refuse to watch his highlights until / unless he commits to Michigan, but man is it exciting to see an 89%/11% prediction split in favor of the good guys.
We still don't have any predictions from Arizona State sources, but it certainly seems like we're the favorite.

Raback it.

Hard edge!

Now that's a throwback reference to this site, if I've ever seen one.

Omg...totally forgot about Raback. There have been some epic posters on this blog over the years. He (or she) was certainly entertaining

Nice to see all you old timers swinging by to love this post with me. Lets be safe and ensure we don't dislocate anything now.
February 14th, 2020 at 2:41 PM ^
For those who aren't afraid to watch
February 14th, 2020 at 2:52 PM ^
Filthy
February 14th, 2020 at 2:53 PM ^
Don't know if he is athletic enough to play for Howard.
February 14th, 2020 at 2:53 PM ^
*Triggered*
February 14th, 2020 at 2:56 PM ^
I’m shocked at his handles... that crossover is wild
February 14th, 2020 at 4:23 PM ^
Skill level is really impressive, kinda like him more than Anthony Edwards who may go #1 overall in June.
February 14th, 2020 at 5:33 PM ^
It's crazy, because even though it's a highlight real, I was still shocked. I mean, we know everything on there is gonna be awesome, but that shit was ridiculous. Holy crap.
February 14th, 2020 at 2:57 PM ^
It must have been difficult to edit out the trampoline under him in all of those dunk highlights.
February 14th, 2020 at 3:44 PM ^
Meh.
5 star basketballer but maybe a 2 star air guitarist.
February 14th, 2020 at 5:33 PM ^
totally - what, is he playing a nylon string guitar flamenco style?
February 14th, 2020 at 9:50 PM ^
Sure- agreed- 2* in that skill set.
BUT...
Maybe, just maybe, JMFH has the same eye for low-star-relative-to-high-talent that Beilein had.
And if so, the I’d say chances are strong that we’re on the verge of an undisputed Guitar Hero NC, no?
February 14th, 2020 at 3:48 PM ^
I'd been afraid to watch the highlights. Wow! Even the music was 100 times better than most recruit videos. I'm going to be upset if he doesn't go to the good guys.
February 14th, 2020 at 4:13 PM ^
Young man has him some hops!
February 14th, 2020 at 4:20 PM ^
That poor soul he puts on the floor along the baseline... He was dead before he hit the ground.
February 14th, 2020 at 4:50 PM ^
Holy shit. Hadn't actually watched him until this. He would be so fun to have in the MAIZE AND BLUE.
February 14th, 2020 at 5:04 PM ^
I watched it. I don't know much about bball, but seems like a guy we want at Michigan.
February 14th, 2020 at 5:40 PM ^
WOW, incredible player, i think he would be the best player on the tram right away!
February 14th, 2020 at 6:16 PM ^
The fuck...
February 14th, 2020 at 6:18 PM ^
That's a grown ass man out there punishing people...unstoppable
February 14th, 2020 at 6:50 PM ^
Christopher's game looks like what they hope Ayo Dosunmu will develop into after the next couple years.
February 14th, 2020 at 7:14 PM ^
He’s Donovan Mitchell times 10.
February 14th, 2020 at 6:55 PM ^
Oohhh... This guy isn't fair. I mean, he's not playing a fair game. It looks like his competition is me! Good Lord!
February 14th, 2020 at 7:10 PM ^
I finally let myself watch highlights. At ~1:10 he not only breaks ankles, it seems that he caused a femoral head dislocation.
February 14th, 2020 at 7:29 PM ^
Good gawd...... With the current class plus him and the guys coming back next year. Michigan could seriously roll 10-12 deep.
February 14th, 2020 at 9:17 PM ^
Those highlights...oh. Oh my...
February 14th, 2020 at 2:48 PM ^
Here come the ballzzzz!!!!
February 14th, 2020 at 2:53 PM ^
Heavy balls.
February 14th, 2020 at 2:55 PM ^
The crystal balls from the last few days seem to be guys who are just following the crowd. The crystal balls from guys like Jerry Meyer, Sam Webb, Josh Henschke, Josh Newkirk, and Corey Evans and Eric Bossi on Rivals are the predictions that really matter
February 14th, 2020 at 3:29 PM ^
We look to be in pretty good shape then
:
February 14th, 2020 at 3:32 PM ^
That's what I'm saying. While the more crystal balls the better, the fact that we have crystal balls from the important guys is a good sign
February 14th, 2020 at 3:34 PM ^
You basically listed a bulk of the people who have put in crystal balls for him....was that your point?
February 14th, 2020 at 4:15 PM ^
My point is that those guys that I mentioned are trusted insiders for Michigan and on the national level (Meyer, Evans, Bossi) who have strong intel on what Christopher will likely do. They're not just some random shmucks on 247 who have little intel and can put in crystal balls. There are certain people whose crystal balls really matter and Michigan has them
February 14th, 2020 at 2:56 PM ^
I feel like this could be a real enjoyable development for our program

I'm always curious how close Juwan gets to tripping over the cable behind him, but every version of the gif that I have seen cuts off too early!
February 14th, 2020 at 3:38 PM ^
Free the video! Inquiring minds want to know.
February 14th, 2020 at 5:35 PM ^
Old school. Back when electronic devices had cables.
February 14th, 2020 at 3:02 PM ^
Someone with his level of skill and flair needs to be showcased on a big stage.
If he is to only play one season of college ball, Michigan is his best choice of the ones he's choosing from.
- He'll headline a Top 5 class...Juwann's first real class and be the main talk during the preseason.
- He'll get to play some games at Madison Square Garden.
- He'll get to play a game in London, England against Calipari and Kentucky in what's definitely going to be a high profile spotlight matchup.
- Howard has the NBA connections (not that he'll necessarily need them) which can't hurt. He'll send the largest fanbase in the country into hysterics and will always be remembered.
That's just off the top of my head.
Not a bad way to spend your 1 year before going Pro.
Go Blue!! ????
February 14th, 2020 at 3:18 PM ^
He will win a Big 10 championship.
He will win a NCAA championship.
February 14th, 2020 at 3:53 PM ^
If he only knew that if he were to choose to play for sparty, he'd get the college experience for four years instead of one.
