My optimism and confidence levels rise for BB posts.

How quickly we've turned to expecting top of the line talent....it's uncanny and a thing of beauty.
September 1st, 2021 at 1:39 PM ^
Considering Juwan has had 1 class of his own, I'm not sure why we are like this, but yeah, I agree.

Some grasp things quickly.
Some grasp things at a slower pace

Like a... [Deleted it for you, "UP". That was a totally inappropriate comparison you posted; we're not about to allow that type of perverse "humor" in the MGoComments. -rob f]

Take this away, dude.
Sorry but that is a fucking gross and weird ass analogy. No place here.
September 1st, 2021 at 1:38 PM ^
I mean you kind of locked his comment in. Obvs inappropriate though.

Off with your head, and off to Bolivia.

Now I feel like I missed a real zinger of a comment

It definitely wasn't a "zinger" and I'm not going to post what it was.
I'm only going to repeat that it was inappropriate and has no place on this board.

No Colin Smith or Gregg Glenn looks like. I'm interested to see how those visits this month shake out.
I don't think Yohan Traore's top 10 was discussed on this site but the G-League, Texas, and Gonzaga were all not included after previously being considered top contenders. Michigan has to get him on campus, but we should have a good shot if we do.
Around the Big Ten:
- Indiana picked up a commit from 5* Jalen Hood-Schifino. Probably a name to know as he looks to be a thorn in our side in the future. Indiana has had a good off-season in general so I'm curious how they look on the court.
- MSU picked up their point guard of the future in 4* Tre Holloman, a football/basketball star. He looks more athletic than their previous point guards and isn't 5'8" like Loyer so he's got that going for him.
- Northwestern somehow picked up a Top100 who had Kansas, Texas, and Oregon offers in Rowan Brumbaugh. Really good get for them as he was pretty impressive this summer.
- Matt D fave Cam Whitmore is down to 3 schools: Villanova, Illinois, and UNC. I'm probably rooting for Villanova here, but there is a decent chance we see him in the Big Ten.

Obviously, recruiting is very fluid but was suprised to see holloman (#84 overall) as the only MSU commit thus far. I think they have one too 50ish target Jaden Schutt who they were in on for a while but now looks to be Duke bound. Quite a step down from last year for them.
September 1st, 2021 at 1:26 PM ^
Yea I'm not sure what they're doing. They banked a scholarship for this season instead of pursuing another transfer as well.
September 1st, 2021 at 1:27 PM ^
I think they banked 2 actually.
September 1st, 2021 at 1:32 PM ^
Even more hilarious
September 1st, 2021 at 1:13 PM ^
MSU has Jaden Akins who is also really good from the previous class, who I assume will be their starter. I never got why Michigan didn't recruit Cam Whitmore harder. Hopefully they pull out all the stops for Yohan Traore.
September 1st, 2021 at 1:25 PM ^
Yep I think Akins will be really good and could blow up after 2-3 years. Holloman would probably slide in after that.
I think they decided they'd rather have a 4 than another wing. Between Jett and Bufkin there may not be as much opportunity there as Whitmore would want. It seems like they want to reserve one scholarship for a transfer or an NBA draft return, so we really only have one spot left after Jett.
On Whitmore, it sounds like Maryland wanted him really bad and him cutting them came as a shock. Turgeon is on a Harbaugh-esque low confidence extension so they may be seeing similar recruiting struggles.

That’s…higher than Dickinson was?
September 1st, 2021 at 3:24 PM ^
And there are reasons why...wait until Juwan and his staff get Reed under their tutelage.
September 1st, 2021 at 2:07 PM ^
Traore's school, Dream City Christian, has the #1, #29, and #52-ranked players. They must be fun to play against.
September 1st, 2021 at 2:13 PM ^
I'm hearing Bishop Sycamore is scheduled to play them in early November.
September 2nd, 2021 at 10:24 AM ^
Just wait till it comes out that Bishop Sycamore was a scam set up by OSU boosters and/or AD insiders.
September 1st, 2021 at 6:23 PM ^
So what do you think our chances are with this Howard kid?
September 1st, 2021 at 6:39 PM ^
cool to see, but I am not really confident in ESPN rankings...
Still, Tarris Reed will be a top 40 ish recruit by the time everything is said and done I believe.

Sweet, sweet basketball content. Bring it on!!
