Howard’s recruiting prowess

Nice article in the freep. He’s connecting well

he's swinging for the fences that's for sure.

Beilien = Dantonio in terms of stars and development

Howard = izzo in terms of recruit targets

Agree that he's going after big targets but it doesn't appear we are favored to land any of them. A ways to go yet. Retaining Bajema and getting Franz were much needed- next year will be crucial as well.

Agree 100% that keeping Bajema was big.

Inversely Wilson was a HUGE loss. Think Jaylen Brown (even though he was never really a commit)

Franz is a nice plus.

You should all be keeping an eye on Dickenson's recruitment. Also, did you see this Terrance williams offer? He's textbook Beilein recruit that also checks off a lot of boxes for Howard. I would not be surprised if Michigan is a real player for this guy. I personally don't see Lance Ware as a guy that they have a good shot with at this point (even though Michigan has been on him since Beilein was at the helm), but 'Cruitin!

I read an article a few days ago about Dickenson that had a quote from Howard about how he thought Teske is highly underrated as an offensive talent and that is leading some to believe that Howard is leaning on getting the ball down low to JT a lot this season. Only time will tell but if that is the case I think the big men recruits could take notice and give UM a serious look moving forward. Plus Howard was a legendary big man for UM at one time so he can back that talk on the recruiting trail. JMO though.
