He is a solid player trust in that. Hes put up numbers against Anthony Marshall who is going to UNLV, he also looked good in games vs Elijah Johnson from Cheyenne who is going to Kansas, one of the top PG's in the nation. Every night out these kids are not going to face equal talent. But this kid is good, and at about 6-4/5ish with the possibiliity of growing I would take him in a heartbeat. A true wing, who can put it on the floor and attack the rim with a strong J? I cannot knock that at all. Ken..I respect your opinion but his work speaks for itself.

Novak and Douglass average 12.8 ppg between the two of them. That is about 17 percent of Michigan's total points. In comparison, West Virginia's three freshman, Ebanks, Jones and Bryant average 25.2 ppg. That is about 38 percent of WVU's total ppg. Beilein's first class is well below the national average for freshman production. His second class, however, looks to be much more talented and deeper so hopefully that will produce better results.

We can really only judge him on one class. Considering we are coming off the worst season in program history, I would have to say he did an EXCELLENT job.

My personal opinion aside, JB does a great job of turning these boys into very well-mannered, respectful, student athletes. While I may disagree with his recruiting success, he is definetely no Kelvin Sampson. He does everything by the book and refuses to bring in players who will mess up the chemistry of his team. This could also be a reason why he doesn't go after the top recruits, as oftenly those players can be a distraction to the program.

Some games he doesn't get the ball enough. Some games (OSU at home) he gets the ball in the perfect spot to score a lot and it's not his day. The number of threes he has taken this year has gone down dramatically and he is averaging 15 and 7 and is near tops in the league for rebounding and scoring.
