John Beilein has reeled in two commitments in the class of 2010 with Evan Smotrycz and Tim Hardaway Jr. Michigan is now tight on scholarships (scholarship breakdown) and will likely be very selective with how they use their remaining scholarships.
Trey Zeigler has been the target for quite some time but with Ben Cronin’s injury likely ending his career Jon Horford has become a major target. Michigan would like to take both Zeigler and Horford for a four player class.

Smotrycz is a 6-foot-9 forward who appears to be the perfect fit for the four position in John Beilein’s offense. He is skilled with the ball, even playing point forward at times, and also has a sweet jumper from the outside. Smotrycz was unranked when he committed to Michigan but has soared up the charts after playing very well during the spring and summer AAU circuit. Smotrycz performed well at the NBA Top 100 Camp and the Vince Carter Skills Academy and has turned himself into a consensus top 75 prospect.
Tim Hardaway Jr.
Shooting Guard/Small Forward, 6-foot-5, 185 lbs
Miami Palmetto High School

Tim, the son of the former NBA star, is a strong shooting guard that will be a welcome addition in Ann Arbor. Hardaway is long and has above average athleticism but his handle is probably the weakest link at this point. With his height and length he could most likely play at either the two guard or on the wing at the three. Hardaway committed shortly after earning his offer at Michigan’s Elite and Team camp.

Trey Zeigler has been at the top of Michigan’s 2010 recruiting board for sometime. With his athleticism and offensive skills he appears to be the natural fit to be groomed to be "the next Manny Harris." Zeigler is a smooth offensive player who can score the ball at will and potentially could play the one, two, or three.
Zeigler has been to Ann Arbor a number of times and appears to be very interested in Michigan. Other schools on his list include Michigan State, Central Michigan, LSU, Arizona State, UCLA, and Arizona. Zeigler plans to take several other visits before potentially making a decision this fall.
Jon Horford
Power forward/Center, 6-foot-9, 200 lbs
Grand Ledge HS

Jon Horford is the younger brother of former Florida Gator and current Atlanta Hawk, Al Horford. He has a long body but is still developing his strength. Horford has been playing very well early on this high school season, scoring the ball and controlling the glass. Michigan appears to lead at this point but Horford’s decision timeline remains up in the air.
