Springer chatter is suddenly more positive today. Longer he goes without announcing for Tennessee the better, obv. Speculation that he likes us, but everyone around him likes Tennessee. Dunno myself. Nor do I have a feel for who amongst Springer, Burnett and Christopher really stands out. I hate watching highlights of five-star kids Michigan normally never gets.

Plus, there's still a small chance Todd goes to play overseas this season. It sounds like he's leaning towards staying in college but I wouldn't expect him to be suiting up in Maize and Blue for the Fall of 2021.

Depends on if Johns locks down the 4 spot, or even transfers out. Todd may have to force his way into the lineup. Of course as a heavy-use bench player he could still be a one-and-done anyways. It would be insane if he fit at 3, but Wagner is prototype there -- unless he's a one-and-done, which seems less likely given how much he talks about the overall experience. The key with the '2020 team is who is going to dominate the ball in the first year post-Zavier Simpson. Makes me think that off the three combo guards, Burnett might be the best fit if you can play Todd at 3. You'd have Castleton, Johns, Todd and Wagner. Haven't even talked about Bajema.
Wonderful problem to have. But of course it also means Juwan's gotta be out there recruiting the next one after him, and there will be transfers. But holy fuck I'm excited about the possibilities here. We are going to be sending out some fucking dudes in that Michigan uniform the next few years. I want to see Juwan also looking around for the 2-3-year system guys.Last edited by hack; October 18, 2019, 07:51 AM.

I agree we do need some system guys too. Unless Juwan can recruit like Kentucky, which I'm not counting on.

Jace is a low three-star. Maybe Juwan can be like Beilein and coach up MAAR-level recruits like that all the time, but maybe not. I'm talking about guys like Bajema exactly, or Zavier Simpson, or Livers, who was IIRC a top-100 recruit. Guys in that 40-70 range. You often get as much out of them as juniors as you do out of a very talented one-and-done frosh, especially off the ball where they can play a supporting role, show the NBA enough to bet on potential, and then move on.
