Either/or would be a great get. Partial to Cohill at this time though.
Thanks Matt, is Carmody a legit 6â4?
I really liked Cohill especially the one post move.
Hoping Donlon has some good connections in Ohio and potentially Illinois as well.
Carmody is a legit 6â4, and tough as nails. He definitely has motor. Doesnât have an advanced handle, but certainly above average athlete in terms of strength and verticality. Iâm a big fan of his game. He certainly has legit interest in UM.
I watched a video of kolp on YouTube. Heâs got a solid game. Certainly has potential.
Those Loyer highlights look a LOT like Spikeâs, to me at least. I mean, not necessarily thrilling but he appears to get the job done.
Brandon Johns highlights I put together from this weekend

Iâve known Dave for a few years, and I think its safe to say that if UM offers, Dave will be on board in 18. Quite frankly, he doesnât even mind me saying that.
Seems like a great kid. What are your thoughts? Is he a guy who eventually gets an offer or do you see him as a plan B type?
Dave is an extremely productive player, even if his game isnât flashy. Generally speaking, once Dave gets you on his hip, heâs going to generate something good, heâs one of the strongest PGs at that age that Iâve seen. Unfortunately, he hasnât grown much, which is the thing thatâs holding him back IMO. Dave absolutely abuses kids like Foster Loyer when they matchup, and every time you look at the box score he puts up a nice stat line. With regard to UM, obviously he would be a plan B guy at this point. Seems like the staff is exploring all their 17 options before getting serious with guys like Dave or Wade.
I actually really like him. Almost because heâs not flashy. He reminds me of x almost. Just pure pg who get things done. Reminds me of a shorter billy Edelin. Or Andre miller. I love that he posts up and hits turnarounds. Iâm not so sure he should be a plan b. Unless we have some big time options
Brandon Johns - has visited campus several times, very likely to be offered in a few weeks
We spoke with Race a few weeks back
I had the opportunity to play against Race this past year. He has a ton of physical tools and a few games I scouted, he was dominant. He didnât do much of anything against us and had a very bad attitude. I was expecting him to do more but he had very poor body language and we ended up beating his team by 35. As far as a player comparison, Iâd say he is similar to Reid Travis, another MN athlete, that is now at Stanford. Race can shoot it better but Reid a little more explosive and has a better motor.
I have a feeling he isnât leaving MN though. He has been offered by the MN staff, his dad played football there, and his older brother is walking on to the football team.
I actually coached against the two other players as well. Jarvis Thomas is an athletic freak with very little ball skills and would be much better suited as a low post 4 that is super explosive but he wants to play on the wing, and he isnât a wing. I have a feeling he isnât the type of kid Beilein would want in the program. Transferred high schools immediately after the season ended because he wanted to be âthe manâ at a new high school. He then changed AAU teams immediately after the April period because he wasnât given the ball enough.
Calvin Wishert is a solid PG but isnât close to high major PG. Donât get me wrong, he is good but not THAT good. He actually got a âTâ early in the first half of our game and his coach sat him for an extended period to prove a point. Him not playing really hurt them and we beat them by 20.
One of my former players (I just got a head job after being an assistant for three years) is on this D1MN team and they are doing really well this spring and did really well last year in the 15U division.

Iâve mentioned the name here before, but Darius Bazley is a kid that I think is probably a top 25-50 type kid. He was extremely impressive this weekend. Iâm actually shocked UM has not shown interest. Midwest kid, out of Cincinnati, really versatile kid with a great skillset. Really hoping UM gets involved and pushes hard, his recruitment has gone largely under the radar until now (just picked up a Florida offer yesterday). Iâm telling you this kid has elite, NBA, potential.
