The '15 to '17 classes don't have any. With the sudden and unexpected '14 class transfers (Dawkins and Chatman) Michigan is in a pickle. Robinson's the only pure wing left after Irvin departs . So, even if they bump some guards to the 3 and the Wilson@4 experiment pans out, they need bodies.
It would not be crazy for them to recruit 4 wing players with the scholarships available in '16 and '17. I'm actually surprised they don't have more offers out and suspect there are some we just haven't heard about yet.
I was about to say, "French? Stansbury?" but then I got further into the article and saw the part about him being the son of Terence Stansbury. He spent close to two decades playing ball in Europe, I think, but he dominated dunk contests in his short time in the NBA - the "Statue Of Liberty" dunk is his, right?
Recruit Detroit. Or Flint. Or Saginaw. Not France. Or Germany. And New Zealand.

The problem is that many recruits think that the college is not interested in them if they don't have an offer from them. I'm sure Beilein still reaches out to them and talks to them, but if they're getting offers from everywhere but Michigan, they're more likely to visit places that have offered them.
2 Wings is the bare minimum Michigan needs with it's 4 available '17 scholarship. 3 is the likely number and it could be 4 or 5 if you consider some shorter-term options for the '16 spots.
