Bball - EM # 30 Jerome Hunter Visiting Today
Huge visit today as Hunter is the #1 target on our board, and easily the most talented prospect remaining of those options that are realistic for 18.
Can play the 2, 3, or 4. Adding him to Dave and Brandon would make this an elite, top 8-12 type class.
Here's hoping we can seal the deal.
Highlights I put together of Jerome at the Spiece Run-N-Slam in May.
http://endlessmotor.net/2017/05/07/jerome-hunter-18oh-nova-2017-run-n-s…Any chance he drops soon?
but as we all know visits can change plans (see Carmody and Nance). Hopefully, today is one of those days.
Thanks for he update. This would close the book on recruiting for the class with Currie re-classifying I imagine.
Not so sure, I think they are recruiting as if Wagner is gone after next season. They should have five spots open.
This seems like a big development considering both the timing and the suddenness of the visit.
Putting Dave and Brandon in the same sentence made me shudder. I almost quit drinking and went to bed.
I like the way you think, I just do it significantly slower.
It's fine if we use Hunter's last name with their first names though.
Dave Brandon Hunter sounds good to my ears.
Let's refer to our other 2018 commits as DeJulius and Johns if they are the only names in the sentence. You're gonna scare people that a certain ex-AD is hanging around the basketball facilities.
Seconded.
This would be an awesome class with him added to it . He's a difference maker on both sides of the court.
Even in completely unrelated subject matter, I still cringe a bit.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with using "Dave Brandon" in a sentence on this blog, e.g., "I would like to fuck Dave Brandon up the ass with a live cattle prod."
Adding Hunter and* Tyson would make for an epic 2018 class (including Currie tho he's a project). I'd take Iggy over Tyson probably by a hair, but think Tyson has more upside. *Question becomes whether we oversign or call it quits after Hunter. I'm not as convinced we're done with one more commit.
I think we want to leave room for Weems.
But they may know something we don't (i.e. Mo was really close to being taken in round 1, and all but a slam dunk to go next year...Charles Matthews has been Godly in practice and reports have NOT been overexaggerated/the normal redshirt bluster. Ibi or player x is thinking of transferring if he continues to not crack the rotation). They may be anticipating another scholly opening up for Weems/ or Watts if we lose a PG to transfer.
His highlights are impressive. I can't recall Michigan having a player with his diversity of skill sets in some time. Looks like he could play 1-4. I hope he drops to the good guys sooner than later.
with a much better shot. Jerome has that type of talent.
Let's hope he more of a 2 and not a stretch 4. It's seem ever prospect over 6'7 is slotted to play the 4 spot even if they are a natural guard.

We don't really recruit guards that size. I'm saying this kid looks like a guard but I fear he will be told he will play there but end up at the 4 spot.
He will probably play some 4. But with Johns and Livers, I don't see him there a ton. He would probably split most of his time between the 2 and 3 here. Depending on the backcourt lineup.
that he's not being recruited to play the 4. There's real need for a 2 and a 3. There seem to be 4 main candidates left on the board. One small SG (Locke) and three 6'7 wings who could play multiple positions.
he's a SG who is 6'7".

Hunter would be a great addition. So much roster flexibility.
for OSU last week. Didn't like seeing that.
But he's visiting.
That's a good sign that he's still considering Michigan.
And insist on injecting Dave Brandon into it only due to the OP using the first names of each current verbal.
He looks much better than his recruiting ranking. With his athleticism,I assumed he was a top 50ish player. He should turn into another great Beilein find after a college weight training program.
Checks in at #30 of the 2018 Endless Motor top 150
Oh I looked up his 247 ranking which was at 124. 30s makes much more sense.
He's black, which means Maizen thinks Beilein isn't recruiting him.
On a serious note, this kid looks impressive. For all the "Beilein can't recruit" folks, he sure is on a lot of talented kids. With Johns and DeJulius already on board, I really like this class
Jb only discriminates against Black *centers*
Yeah he's not a center lol
A class of
DeJulius
Locke/Tyson
Hunter
Johns
Currie
Would be awesome
my favorite target in this class. It'd be a huge coup and put a hole in the fence Holtmann puts around Ohio before it's even built.
Start a hoops rating service?
away from OSU, but it has been done before.
He would look great in that Caris LeVert role.
Their program is in shambles. Xavier might be the biggest competition here
Am I the only one who cringed when I saw adding Dave and Brandon to our team?
of the other comments.
from osu. After visiting Ann Arbor, I can't imagine any human being wanted to live in columbus for a few years. Huge visit.
GO BLUE!!
If Beilein lands Hunter this will be his second best class ever and one that could get him back to the Final 4.
But is endlessmotor.com so ubiquitous that we should know what EM stands for?
Is for anyone that follows bball recruiting in the MW for the past year. And for anyone that's read a bball recruiting thread on this board for the past year.
Wrong

Disagree. I VM the BDG all the time, but don't RCQ the EM.
I knew exactly what EM stood for when I read it, thanks Matt for all your insight, fuck these guys.
