We only have one more to give in 2010. Two in 2011 if we take one more in 2010, but three if we strike out on Zeigler/Prather (or anyone else we might have offered for 2010).

SBell, you’re saying that these guys are not good shooters and they also are not athletic slashers? Why are they in the top 50? Because they set good picks?

SBell go listen to Sam Webbs podcast on Percy. His faceup game is limited, and hes working to improve his outside stroke. They list him at 6’8 but his real height is? If hes a legit 6’8, offers wouldnt be up in the air for as good as he is

What’s likely to happen if Manny does leave early for 2010 and say Ziegler/Prather are already committed to UM or somewhere else. If the Manny leaving early schollie is only eligible for 2010, does Beilein hand it to a walk on?

None of those four are really athletic slashers either, other than Brundidge but he’s 6-1. PLP’s shot comes and goes. Gibson isn’t a tweener, he’s a 4 all the way. Green’s skill level and basketball IQ were way ahead of his at the same age.

Neither Manny or Anthony Wright will free up any scholarships for 2011. They will both be out of eligibility by 2011 anyways.

Manny leaving would open up another spot in 2010, but just for that year.

we will have 3 or 4 schollies in 2011 because Manny is going pro and Ant Wright might not get his 5th year, MSU offered gibson and isn’t gibson just a slightly bigger Draymond green and beilien offered and recruit green extremely hard, just a thought

They say Percy hasnt gotten an offer because he is a tweener kind of like Eso Akunne, and a bulldog. Great ball player but what is his position at the next level? Hes working on his shot but if he hits a growth spurt for 2-3 more inches UM wont be the only ones looking to offer him believe that.

That’s something else I was curious about… why hasn’t Coach B offered Percy Gibson? We need a big in the class. Gibson is rated right there with Williams Gibson has more M interest, no?

I like Ben’s class of Kearney, Gibson, and PLP/Brundidge. It’s too bad we can’t take all four. If we get Zeigler, we can only take two.
