Walker Kessler committed to UNC

Yay BPONE is now spreading to basketball. Honestly I think Howard needs to have a good first year before we start recruiting like gangbusters.
Maybe we get Burnett and that can help get a couple more Top 50 talents.
September 22nd, 2019 at 11:19 PM ^
I'm really not trying to be negative, I am not sure why hes tried to come in here and fish in a nasty ass pond. There are players in the 50-150 range that might have been much more in play. I'd love to be wrong but I can see him having to take late flyers and coach his way into recruiting higher caliber players.
September 22nd, 2019 at 11:22 PM ^
He is looking at that range already. See Moses Moody. Hunter Dickinson etc.
September 22nd, 2019 at 11:29 PM ^
Depending on the site you use, 247 has Moody at 42 and Dickinson at 34. Just scrolling through the top 150, I dont recognize any names in the 50-150 range having an offer

He’s not settling, and why should he? Let him figure out how he wants to recruit. The criticisms before Howard has a season to do so are asinine. Every time a recruit goes somewhere else fans gotta add some conclusion about how the coach needs to recruit better.
Remove your phone from your armchair managing. Stop acting like everyone the Dukes and UNCs don’t lose out on recruits. They do, miraculously. I mean, mathematically.

Your mom.

Bridesmaid again...
September 22nd, 2019 at 11:28 PM ^
Not to worry...I think we have a good shot at Juwan's kid who received no other Power 5 offers.
Anybody else starting to think hiring an NBA assistant with no college or head coaching experience might not have been the greatest idea?
September 22nd, 2019 at 11:32 PM ^
Little early for that kind of thought process. I do think hes fishing in the wrong pond exclusively right now. There are plenty of other ponds nearby and he might be better suited to fish in them for a bit. Once again, I hope he proves me wrong and lands some 5 stars this year.
September 22nd, 2019 at 11:36 PM ^
No. It is what it is, regardless of who our Coach is, unless we want to be scummy.
September 22nd, 2019 at 11:30 PM ^
Howard will need to establish himself before he reals in the big fish
September 23rd, 2019 at 9:18 AM ^
Yes, but the real issue here is that he's ONLY been fishing in the big fish pond. He's barely offered anyone outside the top 40 besides his son and the fact that we don't have any fall back options is a little concerning. I'd honestly like to see Juwan go after some kids in the 60-100 range who are already committed and take some recruits from other schools
September 23rd, 2019 at 12:07 AM ^
I'm glad we missed on a highly rated basketball recruit. This last week has had enough upheaval. We don't need another shock.
September 23rd, 2019 at 12:19 AM ^
I wanted Dickinson anyway
September 23rd, 2019 at 12:46 AM ^
The child in me just laughed. I'm sure you do bro.
September 23rd, 2019 at 6:45 AM ^
I prefer Makhtar Ndiaye types, anyways.
September 23rd, 2019 at 7:43 AM ^
What a terrible weekend
September 23rd, 2019 at 10:14 AM ^
I've always appreciated how perfectly cut this gif is.
September 23rd, 2019 at 8:12 AM ^
Are we in on any other 5 stars? What are our realistic targets left?
September 23rd, 2019 at 9:20 AM ^
I think we lead on Nimari Burnett. Joshua Christopher should be someone we put a full court press on since Kentucky has stopped recruiting him, but I'm guessing he'll end up at UCLA or ASU with a bag
September 23rd, 2019 at 10:15 AM ^
I assume you meant Arizona not ASU?
September 23rd, 2019 at 11:00 AM ^
ASU is the correct team here. His brother is on the team there.
September 23rd, 2019 at 9:15 AM ^
At what point do we start getting concerned about the 2020 class? We lead for Nimari Burnett and that seems to be about it. We're getting visits from Isaiah Todd and Joshua Christopher so we have to push hard for them. Juwan really does need to start giving out some fall back option offers or we're gonna end up with a 3 man class when we need a 5 man class and one of them being his son
September 23rd, 2019 at 10:09 AM ^
What makes you think we are the leader for Burnett over Alabama?
September 23rd, 2019 at 12:18 PM ^
His family is family friends with Juwan Howard's family. Also Sam Webb says he's very close to putting in a Michigan CB
September 23rd, 2019 at 1:23 PM ^
I'm more optimistic than I was before about Burnett, but I will believe it when I see it.
Bama and Oregon play by different rules than us, and their coaches also are proven head coaches. Howard needs to put all of his eggs in the Burnett basket right now
September 23rd, 2019 at 9:16 AM ^
Rough time to be a michigan fan
September 23rd, 2019 at 10:12 AM ^
Good thing we are a baseball school.
September 23rd, 2019 at 10:44 AM ^
Bakich for president! Also, #FireBakich!
September 23rd, 2019 at 10:41 AM ^
Wait, expectations out of line with reality?
When did this start?
