SIAP: Brandon Johns to Commit Thursday at 1 PM
http://d1vision.com/brandon-johns-commit-thursday/
Wouldn't it be fun to steal the best player in the state for 2018 from MSU when he lives in East Lansing?
EDIT: Sorry, sorry. It autocorrected Johns to Jones...
for a Rick Roll.
Sounds like he's going Blue.
Alright Brandon Jones! And it sounds like we are also going to land Brandon Johns! This class is gonna be killer.
Brandon Jones is the brother of MIKE JONES

I was in East Lansing picking up a friend two weeks ago and am going back tomorrow for the same reason.
I can certainly see why Mr. Johns wants out..........
Place is extremely lame compared to Ann Arbor.
Does your friend sell couch insurance in EL? I hear that's a strong industry there.
Nah he goes to school there. Unfortunately.
Fake news... you are claiming to have a friend. Story fails immediately.
Also, welcome back WD!
One look at my instagram proves you wrong....
Pro Tip: You should have shaken this one off, rather than taken the bait, or maybe even turned it back on him. Like, "yeah, I've got friends, lots of them. In fact, one of them just banged your sister!"
First, he was joking. Second, instagram and twitter followers do not equate to actual friends. You were doing so well, too. If you're talking about pictures ON instagram of you and your friends then I partially retract my statement. The point remans valid.
Pictures on.
Gotcha. I always hate when people play the "I have more followers than you" card. Sounds very juvenile.
Well, you've proven you're the real WD as that has got to be the most WD reply ever.

One read of that would have told you he was kidding. I know you may be a bit raw, but calm the hell down.
People can't afford the high premiums.
He will likely commit soon after.
Is Nance a 3 and Johns a 4, or are they both being looked at for the 4?
SF or PF. Has more of a shot at SF.
Nance much more of a 4/5 right now as opposed to a 3/4, especially in a UM offense with a premium on shooting.
He may develop into a 3/4 down the road but my money is betting on Nance being a small ball 4/5 much like DJ.
And it's already a done deal barring anything catastrophic, Nance is aboard.
Matt, does that still leave a place for Hunter? Don't we need a guard with the other scholarship?
Hunter has the size, versatility, skill and athleticism to play the 2, 3, and 4 spots on offense. He's the best player left on the board of those options that are realistic.
He's a MUCH better shooter than Hunter Tyson
Are the coaches aggressively pursuing Thompson?
If so, what are our chances against the Gophers?
but it's likely not commitable at this point with Johns and Nance on board. Thompson is a 4/5 exclusively and will never be a wing. At this point we're going after prospects with the ability to play the 3.
Thanks for the input.
I'm just of the opinion that its likely down the road a bit. He has some perimeter tools to work with for sure, in particular his passing/vision.
In JB's system the 3 and 4 are basically identical positions offensively. Only difference is our "4" is typically a little bigger to guard opposing bigs at that spot. I would assume defense will determine what spot the formally play, but it really doesn't matter.
Nance is a guy who has a chance to be an NBA player eventually but he's going to be a lot like DJ in that he'll need to RS and won't contribute much his first few years on campus. Same thing can be said about Tyson. That's why I've always said Jerome Hunter should be priority #1. With Nance an Johns both in the fold I really hope JB keeps recruiting Hunter. I just don't like recruiting players who are going to contribute nada for 50% of the time they are on scholarship, that's why I hated last years class so much.
No way, concern trolling 2 years in the future. Who would have guessed
I think the only way we stop recruiting Hunter is if Iggy commits before him. Though I'd certainly still take Hunter. Tyson and Nance will probably fall before Iggy or Hunter commit. And I see JB covering his bases instead of waiting on both Iggy and Hunter.
to Michigan until he discovered the fan base didn't even know his name.
Hey, take that back! I most certainly do know who Braden Jones is!
His name is Barnaby Jones.
Looking forward to getting 1-2 fun years from him during which he has a meteoric rise, unexpectedly enters the draft, and takes a few of the remaining pieces of my heart with him.
So true. Meanwhile we'll watch Izzo's convince every AA to stay 4-5 years.
of players to early entry or transfers. The rest of his highly rated guys typically lose a * upon signing and every year thereafter.
izzo has only lost 5 or 6 guys or so early to the draft in his career. JB has that in the last 4 years.
How many scholarships are available for 2018?
it's 4. DeJulius occupies one. If Johns and Nance commit to Michigan, then it's one more spot left.
It's likely that Moe will declare after his Junior year which means JB has to account for it. We will see a large 2018 class.
I think it's pretty safe to assume Wagner won't be here in 2018, so we should have at least 5 spots.
