Sam Webb article on Jaylen Brown
http://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/201…
Some good Wednesday morning reading.
"Talking to Coach Beilein, he's like an offensive genius," Brown told Scout. "The way he gets these guys that aren't really ranked high to be lottery picks in the draft is amazing. It's definitely something that drew my attention."
You want to ensure you have your best creative juices flowing and you don't want sober rationality getting in the way.

its pretty weird that his mom graduated from michigan state and they arent in his final list
Izzo isn't known for fast development. His players tend to be around 4 or 5 years. With his main goal being to work on his range, there may not be a better coaching staff in the nation than Michigan.

They know they aren't on our level. That bear is just keepin it real.
Is there a correlation between the word count in Sam Webb's articles and likelihood for player X signing with Michigan? That was a thorough article. But I guess it deserves the word count since we're talking about a top-5 hoops recruit seriously considering Michigan. I'll refrain from getting excited since premature recruiting optimism seems to perpetually soil my soul in the end.

Sorry for being late to the party but does the board think this kid is trending to Michigan?
This one seems to me like it will end up being a heart breaker on a one and done type.
April 29th, 2015 at 10:35 AM ^
I think the board is hopeful (It's Happening! gifs have been designed), but still hesitant to get overexcited given that Kentucky and Kansas are still in the running (mostly Kentucky). Could be a heartbreaker. I wouldn't worry too much about the one and done--add his talent to the current team and we're most certainly a Final Four contender.

With Adidas being a "major player" with Jaylen, the fact that Michigan will most likely leave Adidas after his freshman year will be interesting. If he wants to go into the NBA fully ready, there isn't a better coach remaining on his list to get him there. I feel better and better about this everyday.

Hard to come back to school for a second year when you can be a top 10 pick in the NBA draft.
April 29th, 2015 at 11:18 AM ^
I don't disagree, but this is what Brown said himself. Ideally he's a 2 year player...realistically he's probably a one year.

I hate those fuckers.

streak has been broken as a kansas insider picked kansas this morning. worry that many of the crystal ball picks piggy backed on a couple of others basically picking on limited information (with recruitment being played close to vest). obviously want jaylen, but hopefully the backlash of a no brown/kenny williams commit and/or no commit at all doesn't bring out too many boo birds.

Evan Daniels said on Kentucky Sports Radio that Michigan had an in-home last Sunday. Also said UK had a recent in-home. Says Jaylen isn't talking to anyone (which we've gathered) so that he doesn't buy all of the Crystal Ball stuff.
April 29th, 2015 at 11:02 AM ^
Crystal Ball picks are sort of entertaining in their own right, but I hope people don't take them to mean much of anything.

fwiw, my favorite michigan highlights video. I don't know how to embed the video. Wish I did know.

Great video! Thanks for posting.

if Beilein wanting to redshirt him in his first year will have an effect on Brown's decision.
April 29th, 2015 at 12:23 PM ^
JB will not redshirt him, not with a projected top 3 pick in the NBA draft.
LOLWUT
You can't seriously believe that John Beilein would think for one second of redshirting one of the most highly sought-after players in the entire country. I beg you to reconsider that thought.
Has Beilein redshirted any guards or wings here yet? Caris had his lifted mid-season and I can't think of anyone else.
I thought maybe Colton Christian or Carlton Brundidge redshirted, but mgoblue.com says they did not.

A bit of Jaylen Brown to UK buzz starting in the social media sphere...
