I still wonder why the 2013 championship didn't bring in any good recruits...

Rampant corruption in college basketball has quite a bit to do with that. JB won't lower himself to that level.

Me too. I was expecting a bunch of top guys to look our way and it never really happened .

Kam Chatman was a top 30 recruit in 2014. He just bombed.

I guess that opens up a spot for Wagner now if he wants to come back ! He just is not good enough for regular minutes in the big ten in my opinion.

Huh?

 

[dubbsco]

He means Watson.

 

[thewolverines24]

Ibi Watson had the best vertical on the team. Should be athletic enough and good enough to succeed at a smaller program. Good luck to the kid.

 

[thewolverines24]

Iggy Brazdeikis will be on TV tonight playing in the Nike Hoop Summit. 10 PM on ESPN2.

Ah OK. I don't know why, but I read that as he was saying Wagner wasn't good enough to get regular minutes in the big 10....LOL

 

[biggunsbob]

Yeah sorry I meant Watson. He is just buried in the depth chart. I do not think Wagner will stay but hey maybe he will !!

 

[thewolverines24]

Matthews entered the draft without the agent. I expect it will be like Moe last year, which is exactly what Matthews should do. Go get his feedback on what he needs to work on and improve it for next season.

 

[wlvrnstlr4life]

Let's hope so, or this could be devastating for this team next year. Like if Mo would have left last year. Most of us didn't care about DJ leaving, but most of us knew that if Mo left with him, we were toast this year. This is the same situation, I feel, that is happening now. Without Mo next year, we will be just fine, but if Matthews leaves too.............

He's projected as a 2nd round pick in the 2019 draft. Crazy things happen with the NBA draft, but he's far more likely to return than to leave given current projections.

Michigan finishes with the 8th ranked class nationally using the composite of rankings for the 2018 recruiting cycle.

2nd in the B1G, only behind Maryland

Much better class than their rivals; OSU, Rutgers, and Illinois.

 

[biggunsbob]

I really hope Mathews stays . I think he can get close to the first round with another year at Michigan.
