Go Blue!

MGO you beat me to the punch outstanding news for Michigan BB,just wondering though does that mean Brown is out

isn't brown a SF? Mo Wag is a 6'9" F right?

maybe hail can straiten me out. But for now I don't see this as a roadblock for JBrown.

The roadblock is because, unless LeVert leaves or Hatch gets a medical hardship scholarship, Michigan has no room for Brown.

Kind of bittersweet, but I was under the impression that we wouldn't be in the running for Brown if LeVert stayed anyways. Wagner should be a nice addition, but he isn't a immediate high impact player.

Minutes are going to be tough to come by next season.

European big men typically have a well rounded game and it seems from what I'm reading that Wagner is no exception.

got it. thanks for clearing that up Hail.

wagner gives our bigs a bit more depth and I like that. I just read that he's up to 6'10" now and could grow another inch or more.

Wag would stretch the defense out, much like, Donnal was suposed to do. Will give some post present also. Looking at this I wonder if Donnal stays or if Belien has some option if Brown does decide to come to Michian, Everything I read was that Brown was a Longshot to go to Michigan.

well the options that Beilein have really depend on Max and Caris....

If either Max or Caris leave (Max expected to at this point, no word on Caris) then Michigan will be at it's limit.

If Max and Caris both leave that opens one spot, hopefully for Jaylen, but not likely at this point.

There is also talk about if neither leave then Beilein could put Hatch on a medical scholarship. I have no idea what that entails though so I'd have to defer that talk to someone smarter than I in scholarships and quotas.

I personally have a feeling that Wagner is the last recruit we'll see in the class.


I also want to post this that I read from MgoBlog:

I'd look at him as a top-20 to top-40 type recruit if he were in the States. - Rival.com

That would put him towards the tail end of the five-stars or among the top four-stars

Well, according to this:

https://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1754603

it looks like Hatch is not getting a medical redshirt according to JB. if Caris comes back then that means there is no room for Brown. Sounds like Brown isn't too interested in Michigan anyway, by the sounds of this article.

Chris Balas has been pushing his "Brown isn't coming to Michigan" agenda for a while, now. He is probably going to end up looking right, considering things are playing out, but it sure isn't because he knew.

Someone took Beilein's comments to the Scout board and wondered if they would have a spot. Sam Webb chimed in and GUARANTEED (his words) that there would be a place for Brown if he chose Michigan. Webb > Balas.
