New 17 BBall PG Target - Zack Dawson

Submitted by Matt EM on

Had a chance to watch this kid play in Hampton for EYBL session 3 and was impressed. Like him much more than our current 17 PG targets in West and Roberts.

#66 player nationally according to 247's TOP 247

'The coach I talked to from Michigan was Coach Saddi Washington. They have very high interest. When I was talked about and placed on their board, everyone was very enthused'

Baruti is exactly the kind of forward (athletic, physical) that M needs to recruit more of. 

We have 2 scholarships open and nobody on the radar (at least in the public).  I'm giving Beilein the benefit of the doubt for now, but having unused scholarships is pretty crazy.

It's bizarre that a high-profile program that played for the NC just three years ago and made it to the Elite 8 the year after that is now having so much trouble just filling out its roster.

Great interview. I'm a little tired of every athlete on the face of the planet talking about proving the doubters wrong, but overall this is the type of attitude I love to hear from prospective U of M kids. I want guys who are motivated, unentitled, and humble, but not meek. This sounds like a kid we'd be lucky to have. He says he's getting interest from some other top tier programs. Here's hoping he goes Blue!

Sounds like he could be a good fit for the offense, adding some size to the backcourt. This part of the interview caught my attention.

 

ZD: I love to use the pick and roll and go iso at times. I know I will make a play for my team majority of the times I get the ball. I love to play defense and rebound, I feel that it is a big part in my game. Right now, I’m working more on my pull up.

I initially interpreted this sentence incorrectly and thought JB had 17 potential PG recruits lined up. Which would be a lot of targets.
