Keion Brooks #5
DJ Carton #29
Rocket Watts #48

from Josh Green at the Nike Hoop Summit. Does Michigan have even a snowball's chance at getting him?
or his camp direct, so I’m not in a position to speak intelligently on his interest level
How about unintelligently?
He's coming
he's just breathing heavy
Think a lot of other people would just try and guess/speculate. Appreciate you not doing that, and very much appreciate your insight in general!
I appreciate your contributions, knowledge of these players and how that relates to UM.
Carton, McDaniel and Wilson would be awesome
and perhaps top 3 in the country
What are our chances with McDaniels?
and make up part of his informal top 5. Coach Beilein has been keeping contact the last few weeks and of course it doesn’t hurt that Juwan Howard is his cousin. He’s been very receptive to Michigan and the next few months will be telling in terms of how things develop. He’s a take regardless of Jalen Wilson.
scholarship room on the roster would need to be found.
As it is right now, Jalen Wilson occupies our only 2019 scholarship, but that's assuming Charles Matthews DOESN'T declare for the draft after this year, which is almost certain. That leaves us with 2 scholarships for 2019. Then, if either another player declares for the draft (maybe Jordan Poole or Brazdeikis) or transfers (maybe Brooks or Davis), then we'll have 3 spots in the 2019 class. And as Matt said, McDaniels is certainly a take, and I can easily see based on how DeJulius plays and if we get DJ Carton, that Brooks transfers
In football it's easier to make room for a stud recruit late in the recruiting game. But in basketball with so many fewer scholarships if we already have 2 commits would we be able to accept McDaniels if he wants in? I know "yes" is an easy answer but how? Convince a guy to transfer?
Convincing a guy to transfer/showing them the writing on the wall that there isn't much playing time available for them.
Where do you have Weems? Curious how he compares to Wilson.
Slightly better skillset, but considerably better athlete and exponentially better defender.
carton seems most likely to be commit #2 and then shoot for stars with mcdaniels.
if not who else?
brooks is picking up kentucky steam, girard things have cooled down, would watts be next realistic option (in terms of take/mutual attraction)?
sounds like mcdaniels could be the best player since webber if we were lucky enough
thanks as always matt
Girard has to come..... we have shoes for him to fill.
Any thoughts on RJ Hampton? I know that he is tight with Wilson and heard a rumor of reclassifying to 2019. Another guy that I would love to get
while I haven't spoken to RJ direct (I've spoken to those associated with him), the consensus seems to be that he may jump straight to the NBA should the one and done rule change be implemented.
Matt! Did you ever find guestavo?
for your rankings? Is it how you would rank them as high school players, how you see them as D1 players or based on their NBA potential?
the intersection of productivity, projection, upside and translation to the next level are my criteria for rankings..............in the context of direct comparison to members of the same class.
