Superbowl XLIV

Note: This hot board is in no way a representation of the University of Michigan basketball program. It is simply a compilation of information about recruits that it appears Michigan is recruiting. Recruits are listed in no particular order. If I’m missing someone, don’t hesitate to shoot me an e-mail. The scholarship breakdown lives here.

Guards

Carlton Brundidge

Guard/Forward, 6-foot-0, 200 lbs
Southfield High School
Rivals: 4 star, #74
Scout: 4 star, #61
ESPN: 95/100, #42

Brundidge is a scoring lead guard who can fill up the score sheet in a hurry. He isn’t a traditional point guard in the sense that tends to create for himself before others but he can definitely score the basketball. Carlton is short but he is strong with the ball and can get to the rack.

Brundidge has drawn interest from all over including offers from Michigan and Michigan State.

Point Guard, 5-foot-10, 160 lbs
Flint Powers HS

Scout: NR
ESPN: NR

Carlton Brundidge is the scoring lead guard and Patrick Lucas-Perry is more of a pure point. He’s a clutch free throw shooter who can run a team and score when it’s necessary.

The Lucas-Perry family has great bloodlines with Laval Lucas-Perry playing at Michigan and his older sister playing at Michigan State. PLP played great in the state tournament and led Flint Powers to a state championship.

Patrick Lucas-Perry reportedly has Michigan and Michigan State offers but the Michigan offer has been disputed by a number of outlets.

Brandan Kearney is an intriguing wing prospect with great length and athleticism. Kearney is a smart player who can create for others as well as himself. His shooting has been inconsistent at times but he has stepped up his game this summer. Kearney made the USA U-16 team and got the chance to head to South America and he also has played well with Team Detroit.

A skilled forward at 6-foot-8, Gant can score the ball in a number of ways with great size.

Quality Education Academy, Winston Salem, NC
Rivals: 5 star, #3
Scout: 5 star, #8
ESPN: 96/100, #30

The lanky forward from North Carolina has been described as the next Kevin Durant. Miller has interest from nearly every school in the country and Michigan has also offered.

Miller has more than 100 offers, said Quality Education coach Isaac Pitts.

“And I don’t mean just any 100,” Pitts said. “He has an offer from just about any major basketball program you can think of.

“Wake Forest offered last week, and he already had offers from Duke, Ohio State, Kentucky, Memphis, Tennessee, Michigan and almost everybody else.”

North Carolina and N.C. State are among the exceptions, Pitts said.

With a 7-foot-3 wing span Miller can shoot the three and handle like a 2 guard and he also has a 3.8 GPA.

Austin Etherington

Guard/Forward, 6-foot-5, 185 lbs
Hamilton Heights HS, Arcadia, IN
Rivals: NR
Scout: 4 star, #57
ESPN: NR

This talented Indiana wing has offers from Indiana, Xavier, New Mexico, and Butler among others. He plays for a talented Indiana Elite AAU team and received his Indiana offer after he performed well at their Elite camp. He will likely be tough to pull from the Hoosier State with an Indiana offer already in hand.

poches

Matt Poches

Guard/Forward, 6-foot-5, 175 lbs
Hartland HS
Rivals: NR
Scout: NR

Poches is an intriguing 2-sport star who also plays wide receiver on the gridiron. He doesn’t play the best competition playing in the KVC Kensington Lakes Activities Association in Michigan but he is a glue guy who can do a lot of things on the court. Poches attended Michigan’s Elite camp.

Center, 6-foot-10, 210 lbs
Detroit Country Day HS
Rivals: 4 star, #54
Scout: 4 star, #43
ESPN: 96/100, #17

It seems like Country Day churns out a number of Division 1 prospects every year and Amir Williams is next on the list. Amir is a consensus top 50-ish player and has played well this spring. His recruitment doesn’t seem to have been too active but he has visited Ann Arbor with his Country Day teammates.

chicolte

Dan Chicolte

Power Forward, 6-foot-8, 205 lbs
Jackson Lumen Christi

A skilled big man from Jackson Lumen Christi, Chicolte has many of the skills that Beilein desires but at this point hasn’t put them all together into consistent production.
