247 has a free video interview with Mack Mercer who’s listing Michigan and NW as schools who are showing increased interest. No highlights that I have seen, but he describes his fit with both schools as a stretch four. Seems further proof that Beilein and co. are determined to get a combo forward in the class.
247 Profile for those interested
He’s a nice player. Saw him do a couple nice things at Michigan’s camp. Think he’s probably a just in case guy right now though unless he really blows up.
I agree that he’s not in the top tier of prospects now, but I’d have to think they’d make a go if they struck out on Looney, Chatman, Edwards, and Barnett.
he’s from my “area” - has a solid outside shot and is a smart player. Same high school of Scotty Skiles. Not very explosive but he is getting stronger and that’s very evident.
His HS team went 21-4…all 4 losses were in OT. Beat Demetrius Jackson’s team in the playoffs.

Good thing Michigan’s in on all those other combo forward prospects. The coaches clearly need someone in the 2014 class to fill that role.
