U of M Basketball Recruiting Discussion

He was a four-star guy, but a guy with skills and not game.

247 composite rankings update:

Iggy up to #41
Castleton up to #81
Johns drops to #106
DeJulius up to #124
Nunez up to #176

Though Johns dropped, he has averaged 28.7 and 10.3 boards over the first 3 games of his season.

Johns outside the top 75 is a complete joke. There's a good chance he comes in and remains the best player in the class. Laughable.

The more I see of Iggy, the more I like.

Don't go crazy with the name I'm about to include because I think he's miles away but the way he plays his game reminds me a bit of LeBron. Big body, athletic, can play all over the floor, and likes setting up teammates. I'm really excited to see what he can do on the next level.

Highlights of DeJulius lighting #1 Clarkston and future Spartan Foster Loyer. Ended up with 42-5-5 in the 80-71 W.

Nice little floater, don’t see that very often at that stage.

[The Oracle]

Yeah, that's gonna be huge cause he's not big or overly quick.

He has the same body type as Walton.

#23 for Clarkson is Taylor Currie, right?

The newest rankings have most of our guys dropping.

Iggy at #43
Johns back up to #71
Castleton at #131
DeJulius at #132
Nunez at #210

Iggy now a 5 star on Rivals, but they don't give Canadians numerical rankings. Stupid. Here's the rest. Johns is still too low compared to others on the list:

[hack]

LOL.

[The Oracle]

And Loyer at 62 and DeJulius 129 is laughable. Loyers coach wouldn't let him guard DD full time in the midst of dropping 42 on them. Hilarious.

[hack]

So our ranking of 11 is without factoring in Iggy?

[The Oracle]

Evidently, rivals is having computer issues with team rankings at the moment, but definitely top 10 as of now. We're done obviously and haven't looked to see who could pass us, but it's a no doubt top 10 class.

[hack]

Whatever ranking it is, we definitely need to build on it in the very next recruiting cycle. It's been bad luck with injuries and the McGary nonsense just as much as it's been coaching shortfalls in stressing defense and wrapping up elite recruits, but this program as a program has to move beyond bubble status already.
