The 2014 class was huge (6 recruits). Michigan doesn't really have much room right now and it doesn't look like Irvin or Walton will be leaving this year. That could obviously change by years end, but I see them both returning and boosting their stock as juniors.
The 2015 class might very well end up as just transfer Duncan Robinson. Michigan is involved with one 2015 impact prospect and the vibe is that if they miss on him, they will bank a scholarship for 2016. Michigan is in on a handful of impact prospects for 2016.
Here are our hopefuls.
2015:
Jaylen Brown - SG/SF. This kid is elite and will be a sure fire top 5 NBA pick IMO. He is a smaller Jabari Parker. He is the SG/SF version of what Parker was (SF/PF). Michigan is one of his top 5 schools and should be in it right until the end.
2016:
PG: Michigan is almost guaranteed to land a top 50 PG. We are in on several, including 5* Derryck Thornton. It's a situation where we want Thornton, but will settle for another top 10 PG if we miss on him. Michigan is a slight favorite over Duke and Kentucky for Thornton, but it's going to be hard to maintain that. Those schools usually get who they want.
Josh Langford - 5* wing. He's not on Jaylen Brown level, but Langford is really good. He hasn't narrowed his schools down but his visit to AA went great. He was there for the Illinois game in which Michigan won a great game. He always got to see how players can shine in Beilein's offense, as Aubrey Dawkins (same position) went bananas that game.
C: Jon Teske - Already committed and is a great piece for the 2016 class. He will be a legitimate 7'0 center for Michigan and should give them an elite rim protector. He was injured last season so his ranking is lower than it will be come signing day. He'll probably end up a top 70 recruit.
