This damn link won't post! One more try. It's about Charles Mathews.

The link just won't post.

Anyway, he's put on 19 pounds since the summer. Most of it appears to be muscle.

2018 in-state (Detroit!) PG David DeJulius commitment to our Wolverines

[*JD*]

He looks like one of those Beilein diamonds and the 46-point performance game him some good buzz. He's #172 in the 24/7 composite but he might be a guy that gets into the top 100 by the end of his senior year. From what I've seen of the 2017 PG signee, Eli Brooks, I think I like DeJulius better. He just looks like a Derrick Walton clone.

[The Oracle]

Looks like a Burke clone to me. He's not near the athlete walton was in high school.

Walton's listed at 6'1" 190. Orange DeJulius is 6'0" 188. Both solidly built guys.

A bit of an update on Mo Bamba

Eli Brooks highlights from this season. He looks a lot more impressive and athletic than what I recall from previous videos. Maybe taller too? He's averaging 30 points, 13 boards and 4 assists so far this season.

Oh, also Michigan made Mo Bamba's Final Four, along with Texas, UK and dooook.

A very distant 3rd/4th behind UK/Duke.

I hope that if there are any elite 1/done wings that they are pushing for that spot as well. With Wagner and Wilson back, and a few other decent role players, adding an alpha-scorer wing would make for a team that finally has some real tournament potential.

I sure hope so!

You said that a month or so ago and I pointed out that there aren't. Charles Matthews and/or Poole will have to fill that gap.
