I see less 'star' potential in him than say GRIII whose I don't think is top 50 (yet), I don't know all who are in front of him but he could end up being much higher than 75. I could've said the exact same thing about THJr a couple years ago too though THJr really developed his skills during and after his senior season.

Hes only a junior so the athleticism is sure to follow....and hes already a good athlete.Comment

According to Rivals, Zak Irvin committed today to Michigan. It came down to Butler and Michigan, and Irvin chose Michigan due to academics and his relationship to the Michigan coaching staff.
Irvin also had offers from Indiana, Purdue, and Tennessee among others."in order to lead America you must love America"Comment

Probably not as close as you are to basketball recruiting; to be top 50 you need to be pretty close to top 10 at your position. Zak Irvin might sneak into the top 50 but unsure he'll be top 10 at his position. Regardless of where he's ranked, he's a very good talent and addition to M's recruiting class that even if he doesn't blossom as hoped in HS, JB can surely get the best out of him at M. I just see a smaller ceiling for him than say GRIII who is a potential NBA athlete. But like I said, I probably thought the same about Hardaway Jr a couple years ago.Comment

Here's some film on him. Waaaaaaayyyyy more advanced in an overall game sense than THJr. These are sophomore highlights, keep in mind.Comment

For the 2nd day in a row, Michigan landed a Top 100 player from the class of 2013.
PG Derrick Walton is your newest future Wolverine!
There are also rumors that Michigan is back in the picture for Mitch McGary for the '12 class.
Things are seriously looking up!Comment

Not to diminish JB's recruiting touch, but I wonder how much impact the new practice facility and arena upgrades are contributing to kids thinking more about M basketball.Comment

Quite a bit. But I think JB and especially Bacari and Lavell, even moreso help the recruiting.Comment

Don't forget Meyer too.Comment

Correct.Comment

Not that his assistants were terrible before but things have really jumped up a notch since Coach Beilein put together this team.Comment

Apparently, Michigan has offered a scholarship to 2012 recruit Marshall Wood. Also, he's still only 16 and may be a below the radar player. Most services list him at 6'7" or 6'8" and he seems pretty athletic.

I don't subscribe to Rivals so I don't have much more info than that and that supposedly, he and Mitch McGary will take official visits sometime relatively soon, like maybe the weekend of the ND game?
Also, I don't think I'd seen this before but GR III is now all the way up to #46 in Rivals' rankings.Comment
