Friendly suggestion--maybe include a little more info in the title and post? I haven't been following basketball recruiting as much so the name didn't jump out at me. Of course, once I clicked the link I figured it out, but I shouldn't have to work that hard!

... he becomes a 4star. I don't know how static basketball recruiting rankings are, maybe a good stretch would elevate that

He plays in a mid-tier division in Pennsylvania, so his competition is not top-notch or high-profile. So even if he, say, averages 30 points a game, it won't cause his rankings to sky-rocket.

Not say he isn't a good player. People thought he was going to Villanova before he signed with Michigan. 

But unless he blows up in the camps/AAU after high school, he'll likely move up a bit but stay a 3-star.

I do like this from the story.
"The Rockets held a tedious 39-37 lead with two minutes left in the third quarter."

Good to see another "tedious" game was being played last night, along with our game with Penn State.

When I read this I had the following thoughts:

1. If this kid is a Michigan commit - HOORAY!  Great job - glad he's coming our way.

2. If this kid is a commit to somebody else - Damn it - we could use a player like this

3. And if this kid was somebody we are targeting and hope to land - I'm sure he'll enjoy his experience at Duke or Kentucky.

I suppose he's a long way from being a five star or a one and done guy. Thats when it gets tough to keep the bagmen from the perennial top 5 teams away.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  s

Now work on preventing the guy you are guarding from doing the same. Play tenacious defense and box out! If you can do those things you will be a very welcome addition to the MBB team. We look forward to your time at M.

We gotta get some worthwhile bigs. Wagner is nice, Wilson is nice, but we have no bench depth and Donnal is horrible.
