Michigan Basketball had a very quiet signing on Wednesday, Florida's Ricky Liburd was added to the 2025 recruiting class. Ricky is a 3-star 6'6 forward from Ft. Lauderdale who originally signed an LOI with Coastal Carolina before he was able to get out of it. South Florida is clearly Dusty's area and he heard about the 6'6 forward wanting to look for other options and jumped at the opportunity to bring him to Ann Arbor. Ricky committed also quietly to Michigan on May 16th and signed yesterday.
Dusty told Defend the Block the following:
"This was a situation where he developed. He was -- I don't want to say a late developer, but he was kind of late on the scene as he was recruited mostly by Ivy Leagues and good mid-majors in the early signing period," May said. "We had heard rumors that he was getting out of his [Letter of Intent with Coastal Carolina], and there was a couple other high-level schools that were going to go in to see him.
"We've had trouble getting long, rangy wings — the 3-and-D type wings. There's not a lot of them out there," May said. "It's why the NBA is constantly looking for them as well.
"He has skill. He has shooting ability. He's a hard worker. From an intangible standpoint, he's just someone that we felt like could really develop, especially if he's patient this year and learning from these older guys who play the game at a high level."
- For golf fans, enjoy the US Open this weekend. Oakmont looks to be one of toughest courses in America. I think this and Detroit's metro Oakland Hills might be the 2 toughest major courses in the country.
- ESPN Gameday for Corso last game will head to Texas @ OSU which will be shown on Fox vs. Alabama @ FSU where Corso attended.
