Dylan - how is UA looking in terms of scholarship availability? It seems like they've had a flurry of commits (Trier being the most recent) in the past few months, and now they appear to be going hard after Rabb.
Also, would Jeter to Duke make it less likely that Leaf would go to Durham?
Hard to say with Arizona. They’re likely to have enough scholarships with early NBA defections. Looks like they got 12 players on scholarship for 2014-15, losing 2 seniors and probably 2 of these 4 guys: Ashley, Tarczewski, Hollis-Jefferson, Stanley Johnson. So they could land a 5-man 2015 class. If they get Rabb, he could be a one-and-done too. They’ll probably have about 3-4 scholarships for 2016, and would probably take Leaf if he wanted to go there.
I’d also bet that Duke is saying Jeter is a 4/5 and Leaf is a 3/4 - very compatible.
Good landing place for him. Though that was certainly a quick turnaround. I wonder if this may impact Towns’ timeline now that his teammate is committed.
Dylan - does having Teske in the mix pretty much take Tyler Cook off the board. I know you said you think we’re looking at 4 scholarships in 16…presumably one of those will most certainly go to a PG, another to a wing (unless Dozier commits), which would leave 1 more to a combo forward or another wing…I’m thinking Towns?

I don’t think you truly cross anyone off the list in 2016 right now. Still a very long time until most of these kids are deciding. I would be surprised if Michigan offered Cook right now though.
Cook seems like a guy that caught their eye this summer and they want to start building the relationship. Not an offer now type. Will try to catch up with him after the visit.

Seems like plan B type, with Leaf being option 1 and Towns option 2.
I wouldn’t be shocked at all to see Leaf at UM. I see Michigan, Arizona, and Duke fighting for his services. If distance is a factor ends up at Arizona. Think he really likes the way Michigan plays, which also seems to be how Duke plays now too.
