Michigan commit Ignas “iggy” Brazdeikis will play at Nike Hoop Summit this week
Nice article about incoming basketball recruit who seems to be a great fit for our offense. I just picked out a few quotes I found interesting.
"I definitely model my game after Gordon Hayward," he said. "I feel like me and him are similar players in terms of being able to attack, shoot and make plays." Both are 6-foot-8 skilled forwards and Brazdeikis hopes to be a mirror image of him, literally, as the 19-year-old Lithuanian-born Canadian shoots left-handed.
"A natural righty, Brazdeikis has a southpaw stroke, although he showed comfort using his right hand with some punishing one-handed dunks.”
“I feel like (Michigan) coach (John) Beilein deserves a national championship, being a runner-up twice, as well as the Michigan program and Michigan fans. They definitely deserve a ring," he said.”
”Brazdeikis, who goes by "Iggy," committed to Michigan in September, and he said Beilein and the Michigan coaching staff were his biggest factor. "Coach Beilein's just such a trustworthy guy," Brazdeikis said.“

If JB wins one next year, I'll give him a lifetime of devotion.

Absolutely criminal that he's in the 130's on the composite. ESPN devoting nobody to recruiting, Rivals being full of people who are impossibly awful at scouting, and scout merging with 247 really killed the composite's goodness. Honestly I'd reather just look at the 247 grade itself.

I was thinking Tom Chambers. Possibly Larry Bird. Maybe David Eckstein?
Johns best e we commits . He is really good and a matchup nightmare . Kid has played oak hill and some of the other top teams and tore it up over last few years .
"“I feel like (Michigan) coach (John) Beilein deserves a national championship, being a runner-up twice, as well as the Michigan program and Michigan fans. They definitely deserve a ring," he said.”"
I LIKE HIM ALREADY.
Is anyone else in the Portland area going to this?
Tickets can be had for only $10. I'm going by myself but wouldn't be opposed to meeting up with any fellow fans.
