Looks like JB will check in on Tyus Battle today

John Beilein will watch Tyus Battle (http://t.co/PS9wdLbR7D) tomorrow. Five-star wing prospect.

Sudden flurry of Crystal Ball picks for Murray to Oregon. This would suggest to me that he’s most likely reclassifying to 15…the exact same route that fellow Canadian Dillon Brooks took last year. Doesn’t really matter, we weren’t really a legit contender for his services in recent months

New film on Brown

Seems like Langford has become our top priority. I love it. Langford is an absolute stud

We seem to be recruiting both Battle and Langford very hard. Means that the coaches feel they have a good shot.

I wouldn’t mind either, but definitely have a strong preference for Langford. He’s more dynamic with the ball, and is a better creator for his teammates. Battle is certainly a good player, but I think Langford is on another level regardless of rankings.

I like Langford’s game. Seems polished on offense and could fit in well in Beilein’s system.

Getting Langford would mitigate the need for an upper tier PG, as he certainly has the ability to run PnR in a half court set and create for himself or his teammates. Battle doesn’t have that type of playmaking ability in my opinion.

New film on Langford. I pray the staff is going all out on this kid and showing him ‘the love’…there is nothing on the court this kid can’t do. Has good handle, can shoot off the bounce going either way, range to 23-24 feet, good/very good athleticism, good court vision…this kid is special.

One would struggle to find a weakness in his game. So polished. Ball handling, passing, explosive, 1-on-1, PnR, pull up J, smooth 3 point stroke…gosh…

We’ll have minutes. We’ll have shot attempts. I hope he comes.

Would have to assume JB feels at least decent about our chances. Can’t recall the staff visiting a prospect 3 times in one week under JB, especially when the kid is from Alabama. Pretty obvious that Langford is our #1 priority at this point, we simply can’t afford to lose out on this kid, we need a playmaker for the future desperately at this point.

Jerry Meyer of 247 casually mentioned Michigan as “considered leader” today. Really hope that is true

It looks like Duke and UK haven’t offered yet. Are they actively pursuing Langford? Do we have any idea as to when he might decide? It would be nice to gain his commitment early. I feel better about our chances against KU, MSU, and Louisville, etc. than against Duke and UK.

I do worry a bit about Auburn, though. Pearl is a strong recruiter and it’s a home-state school.

Interesting…I think he could’ve actually helped us this year with his athleticism

#3 Gill beats #6 Bridgewater 71-54. Tyus Battle led w/ 25 pts. JM Mea added 19 pts 5 Rebs & 7 assists. GSB is 14-8.

Would have loved to have Devin as our baseline finisher this year. Man this kid has hops

He wouldn’t have played for the bball team, as he’d probably be focusing on his draft stock.
