So suddenly Morgan is so much better than Riley just because Morgan commited, ok...lol. Well rivals and insiders must be WAY off on theyre assesment of talent because morgan is a 2 and 3 star, and Riley is a solid 4 and 5...or maybe just 5 i cant remember. If this is the case we might as well not even think about consulting those services anymore. Im not saying JB wont turn Morgan into a very solid player, but i think he could do the same with Riley! :) oh ok my bad….stanford, xavier, and gonzaga knew about Morgan.

Wrong on Morgan, he had several schools interested in him, including Gonzaga, Xavier, Stanford. They still want him, from what I hear. Riley is overrated. He just stands under the basket waiting for the ball. I'd pass on him, seriously. “No one was in on …Morgan … before JB was..”

Brown is not someone who will be able to bang down low. This all depending on Udoh of course the other question is who is going to be the next big man sought after by JB?

The key is getting them on campus and sealing the deal. At this point I would say we look pretty good with both of them. The key is getting them on campus and sealing the deal.

I also understand that we don't have much of a chance at this point with either him or Kirk. I'm hoping for Brown and Morris at this point anyways. I think that those two guys, plus Morgan, would give us two solid recruiting classes in a row. What do you think are our chances of landing either of those guys?

Yeah he might not be having huge games with aau and such, but ive watched some videos of him and it looks to me as if he has some pretty good raw talent! And we have to keep reminding ourselves that JB is on the sidelines and not Amaker, which translates to whoever is being brought in here to play will progress and become better...not worse. I think Riley would be a huge get for us,(probable longshot..depending on Udoh) and i do not buy into the argument that he wouldnt fit in to JB's "system" Riley is the type of player that would help UM become a real good team NATIONALY...being he has some athletic ability for a guy 6'11" And it would open up the door to more local hot prospects! I would do anything possible to grab him...Even tho rite now it seems like he might be slightly overrated. With JB he could become a very Dynamic big man!! Comparison that comes to mind..(Chris Wilcox) i can understand people not considering Riley a stud at this point…but…he has a 5 star rating for some reason.

I think that is a widespread love affair that we wounded Wolverine fans are intrigued by their early interest in Michigan. Riley seems like a longshot, but Ekpe leaving would give us a better shot at him. Personally I'd like to cling to Ekpe staying because the chances of us landing a 5 star stud seem pretty slim, but there is always hope. Kirk definitely seems more apt to want to come in and play in Ann Arbor. If we pull in Brown and Morris, and either one of those two I'd absolutely freak out, and probably throw rocks at my Spartan friends out of jubilation. Well, maybe not rocks, but something with some heft to it. Kirk and Riley are the big two names that I’d love to see emblazoned on the back of a Maize and Blue jersey.
