pure and simple……..doesnt matter what we all say………..he has to get bettter talent here in order to win…….michigan needs players with more capabilities…….i heard his weekly interview with sam webb where he stated this exactly……..he knows that nobody has a midrange game, he knows what he needs, it is just a matter of being able to make it happen……….beilein understands the game and what it takes to win

If Trey does not commit to us. Coach should just hang on to the extra scholarship for the 2011 class and have 3 players in that particular recruiting class. Sykes is probably at best a MAC Player or Horizon League Player from the reports. We can’t compete with the big boys with talent like that. It would be great and wonderful to see both Trey and Jon be Wolverines next year. I also see Tim Hardaway moving up in the rankings at season end. The 2010 Recruiting class could easily be a top 20 for Coach and the basketball program.

If Michigan loses out on Zeigler it will not be a subpar class. It will be a par class at worst because Smotrycz and Hardaway are great pickups who can play anywhere and particularly fit the system great. If they land Ziegler and Horford it turns into an amazing class. It cannot be a bad class with how it is right now, but I hope it gets better with Ziegler and if not, Sykes is not a bad backup plan

If Michigan loses out on Zeigler, this class will again be a subpar class. If they lose out on both Zeigler and Horford, this class will be very subpar.

Michigan needs to land both Zeigler and Horford AND get major contributions from both Morgan and Mcclimans next year to avoid the bottom half of the Big Ten next year. Even then, if Michigan wants to have a chance at being a top twenty non-bubble NCAA tourney team, they’ll need one more good recruiting year with at least one top 50 stud and a couple top 100 players. Beilein’s going to have to recruit quite a bit better to get this team back where it belongs.

heard sam webb this morning say that no matter what anybody is saying……..he believes that ucla is the biggest threat to get zeigler over UM not state or duke or anybody else……..he said that he talked to trey a week ago and trey said he was still very much interested in michigan……..

pgrom, I think you are putting too much emphasis on recruiting sites and the star system. Go to rivals or scout and look at Beilein’s class whenever he made it to the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 at WVU. Those players weren’t top knotch coming out of high school but they fit Beilein’s system and they developed into awesome college players. Of course our future teams would probably be better with Trey Zeigler but if he goes elsewhere I believe someone we are getting or have now will step up. Just remember, we haven’t seen Morgan or McLimans play and with a year under their belts, Vogrich and Morris will improve next year.

I just look forward to the years to come and to see if we land Zeigler and/or Horford. Next years Michigan team will be extremely young but I look to the future and see a lot of promise.

Erik: I don’t believe he took much, if any, time off. He said that being on the basketball court helped him.

His freshman year he really looked like he couldn’t make a layup. It was tough to envision him looking like he did right now, that’s for sure.

Poor poor Sparty. Very sad, in a funny sort of way.

Alex, I think Peedi was better than his freshman numbers indicate. He took time off as a freshman because his brother was murdered. Mentally I think he had a tough time adjusting to college and his personal loss. But basketball wise I think he was more prepared than Horford is (at least from the video Dylan shared of Horford).
