Basketball News (are you kidding me?)

Nope! After a week of flying high by beating an over rated Wisconsin team, Michigan got pulled back to earth after a too healthy serving of "Juice" on Saturday. I guess Mom was right, when she said, "If you drink too much Juice, you will get sick".

Is it basketball season yet? No this isn't Indiana, Kentucky, or even Iowa. It's Michigan and there is another important rebuilding process going on in Ann Arbor and it starts with John Beilein's ability to recruit, which by the way was one of the question marks when Michigan hired him.

This weekend Michigan picked up it's 3rd verbal commit for the class of 2009 from Matt Vogrich. Matt is 6"3 shooting guard from Lake Forrest, Illinois. He is rated the #131 player in the nation with 3 stars from Rivals, and #100 with 4 stars from Scout. He picked Michigan over Stanford, Notre Dame, UCLA and others. (Yes, I said UCLA).

This is a very good pick up for Michigan and it's basketball staff. Matt joins the 2009 class with point guard Darius Morris and center/forward Jordan Morgan. All 3 recruits are highly rated by both recruiting services.

Matt on why he picked Michigan: (for more on Matt check out umhoops)

“I really love the Beilein family. He is a family oriented guy, and when he took me to his house to have dinner with his family I told him (that I wanted to commit),” Vogrich said. “His wife and kids were there, and the whole team was there too. After dinner he brought me aside and asked me how I felt. I told him I was coming to Michigan. He was really excited and he just stood up and shook my hand.”
