Been trying to watch more film and figure out how he could go from essentially not recruited to multiple offers. He doesn’t seem to have played much last year at Bishop Loughlin, which I assume is a big reason why he’s moving to St. Thomas More this year.

Bishop Loughlin is in the CHSAA, which has teams like Christ the King, Archbishop Molloy etc. Lots of NBA players grew up in this league. They finished 2nd in the league last year, so there were probably some good players ahead of him.
He had some decent players on his team. The league is tough and always has been. He’s taking a prep year and did well on the AAU circuit this spring. Like Ignas, he’s a bit older and maybe something just clicked. Never completely know what is happening with teammates, coaches, and potential family/social issues.
Didn’t Aubrey Dawkins come on late at prep school? Maybe something similar. Kid looks like he has decent form on his jumper and dunks with ease. I’ll try to look for more video but the only one I saw looks decent.

He was probably the backup to this guy:
Keith William - 6’6" - 4* - Cincinnati
I fully expect Nunez to get an offer. Can anyone think of a prospect who has taken an official visit to Michigan and hasn’t been offered? Only one I can think of off hand is Shakwon Barrett and that was a late signing/spring situation so a little different.

Do you think this is the kind of guy that we offer, but pump the brakes on, to see how other guys play out? Nunez seems like a good player, but not somebody to rush the process for.
No, he’s planning to announce his commitment next week.

So unless CC beats him to the punch, we are likely looking at Nunez joining the fold
Are we getting both? Seems like it to me

I guess with Sam’s news that Currie may start looking elsewhere, maybe? @umhoops, think it’s likely?

Same kid is announcing both. Seems like a planned out thing IMO

we are getting both.
It really does make sense, illinois’ roster Is a pile of junk.
Really confident looking shot. I’m not in love with his game, but I do like that jumper.
I think it is certainly within the realm of possibility. I’ll have video breakdowns for both visitors up tomorrow (hopefully).

Unsure on Nunez, but this type of recruit is JB’s wheelhouse. He has a pretty strong hit rate on the kids with little to no recruiting profile.
PSU, Boston College, and Texas A&M offered recently. Not a monster list, but P5 offers anyway.
Watched his video weeks ago. This kid is a get, step-back three from NBA range. Kind of recruits that Beilein rarely misses, Novak/MAAR/Dawkins, can play right away on the wing and solid four year player.
I think Baruti came for an official and left without an offer, but that too was a possible late signing situation.

Matt D posting on Mgoblog with endlessmotor link. A few posts down, on the forum, he seems to think we will be adding 2 new players soon. Though, based on the full endlessmotor post, it seems he thinks it is more likely CC and Locke, rather than CC and Nunez. But would appreciate your collective thoughts on ‘reading between the lines’
