MBB: Ignas Brazdeikis is now a Rivals 5 star
According to Chris Balas on twitter 2018 Michigan signee Ignas has been upgraded to a 5 star. For whatever reason it states in the article that they dont list him in the 2018 list because he plays for a school outside of the US.

If you've watched his highlights posted on twitter over the last couple months its no surprise here. Ignas can do it all. He's got size at 6'7 185. He's athletic. He shoots good from 3. He can throw down monstorous dunks.

Can't wait for next years class! I have a buddy that works at East English and says DeJulius is getting better every day and is going to really surprise some people. Go Blue!!

That 185 must be metric.
January 9th, 2018 at 2:13 PM ^
So he weighs over 400 lbs?? WE FOUND OUR LEFT TACKLE!

Called "Gettin' Iggy With it" - Can't wait to see this kid. Talent AND passion.

can he play QB when basketball season is over?

They're one of the top programs in the country and probably the equivalent of a D2 or D3 school.

Good news for the Pride of Orangeville (actually Mono).
For all the talk about negative pivots, the MBB pivot late last season has at least reasonably continued as this year's squad is good if not great, and with serious talent coming in next year the outlook is terrific. Or so it seems. I'm not the world's biggest basketball fan but I've really enjoyed having MBB back as something to be enjoyable every winter again.

Some fans like to see our players getting the recognition they deserve

I can't wait to see him playing for Michigan. But I just hope this notoriety doesn't attract the bagmen from the one-and-done programs.
January 9th, 2018 at 2:59 PM ^
January 9th, 2018 at 3:38 PM ^
Fortunately, his only chance of being one-and-done now is to stay with Michigan, since he's signed his LOI.

Watching his highlights, I was thinking who could guard this guy? You basically need a clone of him. It will be tough for opponents. Robinson, on our current roster, could of course shut him down, but besides him.
January 9th, 2018 at 4:01 PM ^
and develop!!!
January 9th, 2018 at 5:45 PM ^
a guy with that size and handle, JB will be lucky to get two years out of him before he heads off to the nba.
but our next two years look very bright. imagine if Mo stays next year. whoa!

they see equal talent so rarely. They usually are the best players on the court, but this doesn't transfer. They are facing usually ast least two people very close to their talent level so they're not really dominating nightly, like they did back home. This soon plays into their head and they begin to doubt their own skills. They believe if they were as good as they had actually been told and what they actually believed, it would even out but due to above, it does not.
It's fine for college ball and they normally do very well. But when they make the jump they usually cant handle the psychologial toll of being proven = and not > than.
