U of M Basketball Recruiting Discussion

[hack]

I thought that Beilein wanted to give out offers only when kids are on campus for their visits? Or is that for commitments?

[*JD*]

They've both been on unofficial visits and Bates-Diop was just at the Michigan basketball camp this past weekend. I think Booker has visited campus more than once. He's still got family in Grand Rapids.

BTW- ESPN now currently ranks Michigan's 2013 class #2.

Carlton Brundidge is transferring to the University of Detroit

Yes, both have been to campus more than a few times. And both are top 50 overall types.

[hack]

So Beilein's deal is no offer unless you've had a visit of any type?

[The Oracle]

Correct. He's been recruiting trevon bluiett but won't offer til they get on campus. Wants to see mutual interest before offering.

[lineygoblue]

Seems fair to me.

Keita Bates-Diop chimes in on umhoops.com

When asked where Michigan would rank among the schools that have offered – Kansas State, Purdue, Illinois, DePaul, and Northwestern – Bates-Diop reported the Wolverines “would be at the top, but I don’t have a list right now. If I did, they’d be up there.”

When asked about the possibility of making a decision this summer, Bates-Diop didn’t rule it out. "I don’t know," Bates-Diop said. "It could happen. It’s not out of the picture. When it feels right."

Stanford and Louisville also have contacted him.

Correct. He's been recruiting trevon bluiett but won't offer til they get on campus. Wants to see mutual interest before offering.

I just read that Bluiett is reported to be coming to A2 sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Trevon Bluiett was offered

[WM Wolverine]

Drake Harris WR/SG to announce on Wednesday between M, Sparty & ND... He's a '14 recruit that plays both football and basketball, he's leaning towards football lately, which probably favors the Wolverines. Still, this is a real toss-up where he lands. Someone is going to get a 'free' scholarship basketball recruit.

[*JD*]

He was just at some Izzo-related event this past weekend so there's a lot of speculation that he'll be a spartie. Beilein has not offered him a scholarship but Hoke has.

[The Oracle]

Be shocked if he's blue.

[The Oracle]

Which sucks because he has a much better future in football.
