U of M Basketball Recruiting Discussion

Oracle:

They need a guard in the class. They do have 3 guards coming in this year. They probably need a PG and that seems to be the direction they're pushing. They don't seem to be pushing for 3/4 players. They're not particularly big in on Nick Ward or Seth Towns.

[The Oracle]

Probably the only reason I'm feeling a little bit good about this one...kid's just a different dude when it comes to an elite guy.

Just make the call already, kid. Us or someone else.

It's being reported on the Twit that Brown will announce tonight, after his team banquet.

[hack]

Yeah! Looks like this is going down. Either way at least we'll know.

Tea leaves are trending bad all of a sudden. It's looking like Kentucky.

[SeattleLionsFan]

Cal? Wtf?

[hack]

I guess it's Cal. OK. STILL! We're in great shape.

Makes sense. Bring Max back and go for 1s and an elite 5 next year.

[The Oracle]

Already have a 5, probably won't be looking for another one.

[hack]

Well I did say ELITE 5, because there nothing stopping us from doing that or learning any lessons from the McGary '13 tournament performance, but I do suspect you're right. They've told Towns they're looking at PGs but not wings.

[Cody_Russell]

At least Brown didn't commit to Kentucky. I consider that a win.

[WM Wolverine]

Brown didn't commit to one of M's rivals either like Sparty or the Buckeyes.

I worry about the lack of 'elite' talent on the next couple seasons squads. M's talent is very good and deep but a step below elite. They'll win a lot of games this season and be right there for the B10 title... However when you play a team with 3+ NBA 1st rounders (e.g. M in '13) like a Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, Arizona in the tournament; it's a tough match-up and 'talent' usually wins out.

[hack]

Michigan will have two first-rounders next year. This is not a concern. There are no more excuses.
