says we'll see Stribling "early"

Doesn't count Taco Charlton and Dymonte Thomas as 'freshman' because they came in early. Expect to see them, as well as Jourdan Lewis.

Stribbling was far and away the steal of the Michigan class last year. he may end up the steal of the entire class if he lives up to the hype that people have been giving him since he got on campus.

I like that the coaches can evaluate talent so well. This year it's Freddy Canteen. I wonder if we'll have one next year given the limited scholarships to hand out. I think the 2015 class may end up full of 4 and 5 stars.

Good points, all...good news indeed about Stribling's "fitness for duty", and it just got better with the less-than-good news about Avery.
