2018 class could be elite. They were on a very good team with a coach who plays a small rotation and doesnât play kids who donât have the mental part down yet.
I think all 4 will be nice contributors or more if they stay all 4 years. Johns and Colin will be major contributors this year imo. Nunez and Ddj had a lot of nice film in high school they just werenât ready. Iâm excited to see both when given the chance this year.

Has there ever been a recruit that Michigan signed that you thought would be a bust? Austin Davis heading for an All B1G season next year while we are at it?

Yes, your in his thread potentially. There were lots of guys I didnât want us to sign or I had preferred we went another way on. Doesnât mean theyre bums or bad players. Michigan is a top ten program , odds are you can play or theyâre not looking at you. Itâs about realizing potential and fit. Iâm not in favor of signing bones as I stated earlier but Iâm not going to be upset if we do .
The programs in a great space and signing nice talent. I have faith itâs not going to have a down year for a bit.

Where did you hear that?
I hope you are right but we also heard glowing practice reports about Davis so it doesnât always mean much.
Davis looked good in Spain too, sucks he couldnât put it together. His physicality could have been nice in some games

I heard it from reliable sources. Nothing is guaranteed. I just wouldnât write him off yet. He is probably a 3 and will probably back up Wilson/Franz next year. I think the better question is âwhere did you hear that he wouldnât pan outâ? We heard the same thing with other players who did pan out in the end. Heck we were all saying this about Teske after Ethan Happ abused him in his first year. It was like clubbing baby seals. Teske sucked and wouldnât make it. Here we are 2 years later and that was a bad call by some. All I have read about Nunez on multiple sites is âŚI donât think he will ever be a contributor. So I asked some people who would know. A lot more confidence that what we are reading.

Now THIS is what I hope umbob1 has reliable information about! 
Never said that I heard he wouldnât pan out. Just setting my expectations low based on his high school career, lack of playing time and practice buzz and what little film there is. Those ingredients donât normally add up to surprise contributor. Hope Iâm wrong.

What was wrong with his high school career? Iâm not trying to attack you or single you out I just keep reading that on here and his prep year he was a good player playing in a serious league against big time comp. He also played in a tough nyc league before that.
Hereâs another one that explains how he got overlooked in high school.

A good read. Makes me quite hopeful for him.
But that article says why some are skeptical: there are two anonymous D1 coaches who doubt his ability to play high major basketball. He scored 4 points a game in HS.
I mean, he may work out, but the kid was a flyer. Itâs silly to pretend anyone unsure is nuts.

Being skeptical is fine. I just wouldnât write the kid off. The article says âhe can shoot the shit out of the ballâ, âhe is an extremely hard workerâ, âgreat studentâ, âgood sizeâ. What I remember from Beilien when he recruited him was his description of his shot. His release point and quickness of his shot were 2 things that JB thought were exceptional. If you have a kid who is 6â6" and can shoot and is going to outwork manyâŚI wouldnât doubt him. This program can use some 4 year players for stability.

I agree with this as Mich needs to have some of these recruits to become four year players such as MAAR who when they are seniors you can lean on their experience to help lead the more talented underclassmen.
No, just one coach. You misread it.

I feel like thatâs pretty much Beileinâs M.O.âoutperforming expectations, silencing the doubters. But as Dylan notes in another threadâyeahâsome guys havenât proven out. (How could that not be?) And I would bet the coachesâ whole thing in this case was probably: âLetâs take a chance on this kidâcould be freaking great!â
But as a matter of practice here I feel like the posts that ask a question or make observations about the program tend to be more fruitful than âBeilein needs to do betterâ or âthis kid has shown me nothing.â Because there just isnât really a lot to say to that, especially nothing that doesnât start out defensive.
No a criticism, cause I may have done it myself. Just an observation.
