W3, with all due respect, Coach B’s recruiting is still mediocre at best. He’s not getting any better players than Tommy A was and the results show it. A team based on outside shooting with no inside game and no rebounding will never be much more than a spoiler. For all the talk about what he accomplished at WV, it took Huggins one year (scumbag that he is and I do NOT want his type of players!) to create a better team. He didn’t consistently make the tournament, either.

Smotrycz: #80 on ESPN/Scouts, #52 on Rivals, not a bad fit at all, but read the comments, can’t create his own shot. Yes, more years of our big men shooting outside and Michigan not scoring down low and getting outrebounded all season long…
Hardaway Jr.: #92 on ESPN/Scouts, not exactly elite…
Vogrich: Not Top 100; #137 by Rivals, can’t find ranking by Scout but #20 SG there, so borderline Top 100 at best.
Morris: #77 by Rivals, #20 PG by Scout, fine, will still be a good player when Manny’s done jacking up 5-10 dumb shots a game.

Zeller isn’t even among the Top 60 prospects for 2011, doesn’t seem to have any interest in Michigan (not one of the five schools listed), and his game doesn’t fit the program, either. I’ve seen Amir Williams play four times and he’s talented, but extremely lazy, with a slow motor. Benefits by playing with a great PG and isn’t a great fit for B’s system. Could be a star in the right system, but it isn’t Michigan, where big men playing down low are superfluous.

There’s no way Manny goes in the first round.

As for Henton, he just doesn’t look athletic enough to be an impact player in a major conference. He missed two dunks in that game for God’s sake.

He’s probably a victim of the hype machine. I could see him being a good mid-major player, which is a far cry from the hype during his freshman season.

Excellent stuff Dylan, thanks for putting this piece up. I don’t get a chance to watch the high school kids very often so seeing something like this is great. Buckets is a hell of a player and I’m sure he will find a spot to play at the next level, maybe in green and white. I would love to see Zeigler end up in the Breslin, but with The 5-star stud Adrian Payne joining 4-stars Byrd and Appling next year, I’m not sure if Trey will want to come along also. Must remember that Lucious has 2 more years also. I’m sure Izzo will make room for him if he decides he wants to join though.

With Manny looking like a late 1st round, early 2nd round pick what do you think are the chances that he stays for his senior year? I don’t feel like him staying in Ann Arbor for another year is going to help his draft stock all that much. It can’t hurt (unless he gets injured) but I don’t know how much higher his ceiling is.
