Michigan Friday: Confusing Basketball Recruiting and A Couple 5 Star FB Updates

We have already updated 2015 basketball recruiting.   Which pretty much goes like this:

If................

LeVert goes to the NBA = Brown or Williams might have a spot or Beilfeldt gets a 5th year.

LeVert Stays = Is there a spot? (do you turn down the #1 player in the country?)

There are also rumors that if Spike elects to have his other hip worked on, he might just redshirt next year.   That wouldn't open up a scholarship but it could be a reason why Coach B is recruiting Williams. 

Now we move to 2016 recruiting, where Michigan has 6'10 center Jon Teske already committed.  He has been getting rave reviews and some reports now have him growing to a true 7'0 foot player.  

Then last night Michigan offered and took a commitment from 3 star Instate 2016 center Austin Davis.   Who also happens to be 6'10 and 250 pounds from Onstead, Michigan.   His other offers included the likes of Central Michigan, Buffalo, George Washington, Kent State and Toledo.   Austin was at an Adidas event in Dallas last weekend and was getting interest from the likes of Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Purdue and Michigan State.

I have faith in the Michigan staff but this seems like a strange commitment.   Michigan already has a similar player in the 2016 class and we still don't know who will be on the team next season.

Hopefully the 2015 roster will be ironed out in the next two weeks or so.


  • Two top 5 star prospects in the 2016 class that are on Michigan's radar are DT Rashan Gary and LB Caleb Kelly.  Gary is expected to be back in Ann Arbor next month (great news!) and Michigan has made Kelly's top 10 list.  

  • There are also some thoughts that if Matt Falcon has a good senior year, he could become a 5 star RB.  He was injured for some of his junior year.

Coach B has gotten tired of hearing about how the lack of a true big man kills us in the paint, so he's getting two!

Much appreciated update on Gary & Kelly.
