But Michigan has put in the early work with Darius and has been on him for a very long time and I think there is definitely a shot with Morris.

It looks like they both have been noticed on the national stage and are getting offers from schools with better programs that are also closer to home. Even assuming Beilein’s a great salesman, why would they go all across the country to play for a team that won 10 games last year? By contrast, going after in-state kids like Kearney early seems like a good idea with a much higher chance of success.

If you know anything about SoCal basketball, is that Fairfax is a LA powerhouse year in and out. Producing kids like Josh Shipp, Evan Burns, and Renardo Sidney(the #1 prospect in the west for 09). Hill will be the big star we havent had in years to get the other kids to realize UM is back. His size, length, and versatility would be needed alot more then a PG who is being praised for his rebounding skills in every other article. I Like D Morris, but hes not a high flyer though. Hes not Jordan Hamilton from Dominguez, but he is better then the PGs on the team now..unless LLP handles the spot like he should. Plus Jones, Harris, or Russell are just as good if not better in my opinion. Im all for Morris being a high priority, but I would not at all be upset if we can get Soloman Hill instead.

There is a video on YouTube of him dunking over someone as well as the recent rivals report which says he was doing a great job on the glass.
