great choice for kearney to head to msu, will be a factor at msu in years to come, not to mention he’ll be coached by izzo, id choose msu over um anyday, because izzo is one of college’s best coaches around. also msu will sweep michigan for the next 3 years.

things i take away from this:

1. our coaching staff feels strongly that kearney is not the talent that zeigler is
2. we must have a very good shot at zeigler
3. brundidge wanted to be a wolverine more than kearney, and i’m glad to have him.

why didnt Kearney commit a month or so ago if he was a Michigan fan growing up, etc?

Isn’t Kearney Braylon Edwards’ cousin?

RE: Comparison Brundidge & Kearney (based on highlights from scout & rivals)

Kearney like said earlier reminds me of Darius Morris.

But, Kearney & Brundidge both handle the ball well enough to break their man off dribble. Their outside shots are similar. Decent form but as a defender you want to see them hit an outside shot before you come out on them. I think Kearney is better passer than Brundidge but Brundidge attacks the basket and finishes better. Both guys are not big time athletes but their lateral movement and vertical is good enough.

I heard that Kearney has a more laid mentally on the court whereas Brundidge is in attack mode.

Hope that helps a little.

Yea i’d be interested in that Kevin. So all the prospects that Michigan’s interested in who do you think will verbally commit first that hasn’t already? Just take your guess we all know it’s rocket science.

The quotes that I was referring was after UM beat Duke. On Scout, Dre had an interview with him asking him to comment on UM’s win. To paraphase, he did not give credit to UM for beating Duke. Just think back to when Michigan beat Duke, and remember all the excuses MSU fans were making for Duke’s loss and not giving UM credit. Kearney made those same comments when interviewed by Dre. That was very telling to me. A number of posters on the UM scout board made reference to it too when they saw those comments by him.

You are right in that there were plenty of quotes that seemed that Kearney was bound for UM. And, that was the surprising to me. I’m not surprised that Kearney was a UM fan. You can tell by his dad’s comments in an interview that he grew up in a UM family.

With that said Kearney was been visiting MSU’s campus since his freshmen year.

Sam was reporting, or at the least strongly suggesting, back in June I think that a Kearney comittment was imminent.
