If everything pans out he should end up averaging near 20 points per game his senior year with Matt Vogrich complimenting him with 15 or could easily be vice versa or if Vogrich finds his stroke he could be one of the only couple Michigan players to average over 25 points per game heck and maybe even 30 if he averages 7 threes a game

Sheryl– thanks for the links on Vogrich.

From former Ohio State assistant coach Paul Biancardi’s on ESPN.com answering a question on Michigan recruiting:

John (Detroit): Does Michigan have anyone of note coming in for 2009? I like what Beilein is building. Need more talent though. Thanks!

SportsNation Paul Biancardi: John, Matt Vorgrich will give the Wolverines a high basketball IQ and a nice 3-pt jump shot. Darius Morris gives them a point guard with good size at 6’3. These two players are great compliments to each other. They bring a good feel for the game which John Beilein puts a premium on. They’re two players that fit well into a structured program.

Crossroads is a private school (~30k a year) that caters to the spoiled children of Hollywood libs and entertainers. The fact that their basketball team got smoked is not surprising.

Hi all,

Here at Windward School, we will be streaming this Saturday’s game vs. Campbell Hall LIVE on the school’s Web site at 7 p.m. PST @ http://www.windwardschool.org. A bunch of Div. I kids on the court from both teams, including Darius. Should be fun.

The game will also be archived on the site to be viewed later.

I totally agree with Bobby. Anybody who can dribble a basketball could tear that team apart. Having said that, I still think he will be a great college player. He has good vision and seemed to be able to control the tempo

Of course, this is all coming from that video, so I don’t have that good of a sense for how he actually plays.

Oh, and I’m lovin those high socks

I hope Darius pans out and he looked good…but I really didn’t get any insight from the video. He was being guarded by a kid that was like a foot smaller than him. I came away from that video thinking about how bad the other team was. They looked like a middle school team. Dave Merritt could have put up 50 against them.
