Friendly Reminder: Mitch McGary & Brewster Academy Game on ESPN
I know there was a post a few days ago, but a friendly reminder that Mitch McGary's game wil be on ESPN at 4:00 today. Will be a good test for Mitch as he faces 6'11" Nerlens Noel (#2 in 2013 Class)
Also Nik Stauskas played earlier on ESPNU, but I missed the game, so if anyone has an update please post it.

Edit: It is now up and running

Not starting? WTF
January 15th, 2012 at 4:03 PM ^
My thoughts exactly.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:03 PM ^
Whaaaa??
January 15th, 2012 at 4:03 PM ^
Scored 15 points. Had a couple of 3s, crossed over a guy and sliced through two more for a layup. Not a bad perfomance. Hopefully McGary can best this Nerlens guy.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:03 PM ^
this coach is tough!
January 15th, 2012 at 4:03 PM ^
January 15th, 2012 at 4:09 PM ^
he looks small.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:11 PM ^
Noel looks like a stud!
January 15th, 2012 at 4:11 PM ^
Not impressed. He will fit right in with the effort the team gave yesterday.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:14 PM ^

Thanks for the heads up. #3 in black has a Kid n Play flat top. Classic!
January 15th, 2012 at 4:20 PM ^
January 15th, 2012 at 4:20 PM ^
These teams don't even run plays. It looks like they aren't used to having to try to score.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:23 PM ^
January 15th, 2012 at 4:24 PM ^
I'm disappointed.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:32 PM ^
To be fair, everyone was expecting him to dominate because of the hype. If he didn't, it was going to be a disappointment.
I still think he's gonna be great for us.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:27 PM ^
I expected a little more from a 20 yr old guy playing against 16 and 17 yr olds.
On that note though if Noel is a legit 6'11 than Mitch is no more than 6'7 tops, he looks completely dwafted by Noel in the post.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:30 PM ^
expected to play 5 for us.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:37 PM ^
The hair puts him over 7'.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:31 PM ^
that guy's flat top is awesome
January 15th, 2012 at 4:32 PM ^
So far Mitch isn't even a top 3 player in this game. I can handle the fact that he isn't scoring, but where is this energy & hustle he's supposed to bring?
January 15th, 2012 at 4:35 PM ^
You mean like that block?
January 15th, 2012 at 4:35 PM ^
MAN BLOCK
January 15th, 2012 at 4:35 PM ^
Mcgary with the block on Noel.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:41 PM ^
This game looks like an And 1 mixtape. Whole lotta woofing it up.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:42 PM ^
This literally looks like a NBA game with a lot of one on one, hard to get anything out of this game. The shot clock has some of these kids jacking up shots for no apparent reason and with espn being there it really is a perimeter game.
I expect McGary to be a Tyler Hansborough type player at michigan who everyone will hate because he just attacks and gets the benefit of every whistle possible. I'm sure we all can and will take that.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:45 PM ^
January 15th, 2012 at 4:45 PM ^
pretty underwhelming so far.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:48 PM ^
January 15th, 2012 at 4:48 PM ^
He's a PF having to match up with the best center in his class if not the whole country.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:51 PM ^
January 15th, 2012 at 4:57 PM ^
Thought it was clear I meant that he's the best high school center. He's the number one center in the 2013 class and if he's better than Isaiah Austin (the #1 2012 center), then he's the best center in the country. ESPN has him rated higher.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:54 PM ^
I'm pretty sure that Noel is like 3 years younger than him, 1 class year younger
January 15th, 2012 at 4:52 PM ^
is a better player than 99.9% of players McGary will go up against in college
January 15th, 2012 at 5:22 PM ^
Exactly
January 15th, 2012 at 4:55 PM ^
Come on guys stay a little more positive for a future wolverine. Hope he doesnt read this with you guys judging off watching him in one game. Show a little more class.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:58 PM ^
January 15th, 2012 at 5:04 PM ^
You can, but you can't judge a guy based on one game alone.
January 15th, 2012 at 5:20 PM ^
This is a game thread. That's literally the entire point of this thread.
January 15th, 2012 at 5:22 PM ^
Hope that Mitch is very upset with his performance. If he happens to read any of this and is a true competitor then he would agree with the assessment of his play today because he in no way even looks like a top 50 recruit.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:56 PM ^
How the hell did these teams come to exist?? My high school team sent a couple guys to D1 schools and we would have gotten absolutely murdered by these guys.
January 15th, 2012 at 5:13 PM ^
January 15th, 2012 at 5:03 PM ^
January 15th, 2012 at 5:13 PM ^
Sounds like a hillbilly saying New Orleans.
January 15th, 2012 at 5:31 PM ^
Yeah, Haitians are stupid for not giving their kids more classically American names. It's almost as bad as parents from South America or East Asia or the Indian subcontinent or Africa or the Middle East -- why not just name your kid Jim or Jimmy or Jimbo or something? MORANS
January 15th, 2012 at 5:24 PM ^
First time seeing McGary play, and I've been impressed with his athleticism and effort. Noel is a phenomenal shotblocker so there isn't a lot of room for Mitch to finish around the rim, but I think a lot of folk here are putting way too much emphasis on points scored. There isn't a shotblocker like Noel in the Big Ten and there probably won't be going forward.
January 15th, 2012 at 5:26 PM ^
Brewster runs NO plays and they seem like a bunch of selfish players. I like Mcgarys hustle and after some John Belien coaching he will be just fine
