Yeah it hurt seeing how good Kennard became. Devin Booker is another situation like that. Beilein recruited him forever, then he blew up and Michigan was nowhere to be seen in his recruitment. Although he became an obvious one-and-done which Kennard was not.

I was on campus visiting a friend at MSU when Devin Booker took an official visit there. I saw him at a house party and shook his hand and told him āgo to Michiganā.
Clearly Iām not a great recruiter lol

You know, the empty-handed kind.

Now I can be angry that we lost him after being confused about why we offered him.

Yikes. Gonna be tough to land him now. It is not often that anyone is able to beat out Duke for a recruit, even the blue bloods
Heāll get there just in time to play 4 minutes per game and transfer to USC

Thereās always time for Duke to be implicated in the FBI investigation.

Girard going to Duke or elsewhere wouldnāt faze me one way or the other. Iām liking the more athletic M b-ball team; Girard would def be a step backwards in terms of that. Gotta love his shot and range though.

Thereās plenty of athleticism to put around him and teams like Texas have not done so well with a bunch of athletes and no shooters. Lastly, heās probably a better athlete than you think. Probably Stu level, though not as big, or similar to the Davidson kid at Wiscy. Heās not a kid who will look completely out of place.
Donāt we already have that covered with Nunez?
Nunez looks pretty athletic to me and can put the ball on the floor, as well as shoot off the bounce. His signature move is the shake n bake step back 3.
Heās not near the athlete Stu Douglass was imo. Not even close. Heās not Andrew Dakischā¦ oh snap! Letās start an argument!! But he aināt no Stu Douglass
I donāt think M is in any danger of having a roster of athletic guys who canāt shoot.
Anywayā¦ would welcome Girard with open arms, but not going to lament if he goes elsewhere

Just like coach K to come in after JB validates with an offer and tries to swoop in for the take.

I would be shocked if a lot of coaches didnāt have their assistants monitoring who other savvy schools are courting.
