I guess the biggest prized recruit for 2018 that we are pursuing is PF Simi Shittu. He's ranked #7 in the 247 composite.
Michigan has been following him since he was in 8th grade. He hasn't been on campus yet so no official offer but there's obvious interest.

Michigan will likely have at least 4 more scholarships available for 2018, If Wagner goes to the NBA. They could even have more with attrition and/or Matthews having a great season. Hopefully, they can load up in recruiting for the first time in a few years.

Swider has been on my wish list for '18, just recently landed an offer from Duke. His rankings are going to skyrocket. Now with Duke involved, I suspect everyone is going to give him another look. If I had to make a really quick recruiting board:
PG: David Dejulius (committed)
SG: Robby Carmody
SF: Gabe Brown, Jerome Hunter, Kevin Easley
PF: Cole Swider, Pete Nance
C: Brandon Johns
Depending on M's confidence level with Carmody (coin flip with ND last I heard), they might want to look at others that can play shooting guard.

Michigan gets their first 2019 commit. 6'8" PF Taylor Currie. He's #149 on 247's composite with his highest ranking being #91 with Scout.
They also offered PG Mark Watts Jr., (#152 comp) from Detroit. He also has offers from spartie, Iowa, Wisky, Georgia Tech and a couple of other schools.
Today was Michigan's first day that they offer juniors.

More highlights. He's definitely a below-the-rim guy at this point. Sort of reminds me of Smotrycz. Good moves and a nice touch for the level he's at but he's going to need to get a lot stronger and more aggressive to have success in Ann Arbor.
