2020 - F - Isaiah Todd (Commit)

kturnup · October 15, 2019, 9:45pm

Can we please stop posting tweets that most likely have absolutely nothing to do with what school a recruit ends up at?

IanLemersal · October 15, 2019, 9:47pm

Yeah I feel like that could mean literally anything, and 95-99% of what it could mean has nothing to do with the decision

umhoops · October 15, 2019, 10:18pm

Yeah, please no posting fake screenshots of people’s twitter accounts.

Thanks. I was breaking my brain racking it.

Wait so should I NOT post a photo of my fortune cookie fortune and explain how it pertains to Todd?

Wolverine3 · October 16, 2019, 12:18am

Some background on Isaiah and his mom…

bebopson · October 16, 2019, 12:39am

95-99% of everything written and tweeted about recruits’ intentions is vague and nearly meaningless. Why are you being so picky now? She’s posting explicitly as “Isaiah Todd’s Mom”, not even her own name, so forgive me for thinking it might have a teensy sliver of relevance two days before his commitment announcement.

IanLemersal · October 16, 2019, 12:48am

I’m glad you posted the tweet for sure, but what I was saying goes more for anyone trying to take her tweet and assume the worst from it. Someone had posted “dislike” so I was referring more to that. If anyone sees that tweet and assumes it’s anti-Michigan, I just think that’s an overreaction.

For what it’s worth, I sent that tweet to my buddies and as a joke said “you guys think this means they took the Kansas money??” And both of them said yes in a non-joking way

Evan Daniels just put it in his crystal ball for Todd to Michigan. Means that all the top of the top hoops recruiting guys have Michigan as their pick. Meyer, Evans and Daniels.

IanLemersal · October 16, 2019, 2:33am

I was reading the first line of your post and got nervous. That’s definitely a really good sign (especially with the Kansas in-home today)

goblue8 · October 16, 2019, 2:39am

Daniels is the best in the business, gameover officially.

Voltron_Blue · October 16, 2019, 2:44am

Just to put numbers to that:

He’s 43/43 this year and 223/236 all-time.

Not bad…

IanLemersal · October 16, 2019, 2:49am

Jeez, that’s even better than I thought.

Also, I just realized Kansas doesn’t have a single commit yet for 2020… wow

DeAngeloVickers · October 16, 2019, 2:58am

They have a juco commit

sane1 · October 16, 2019, 3:45am

I like mom.

TruBlueFantatic · October 16, 2019, 4:12am

So if (when) Isaiah Todd commits on Thursday will this begin a domino effect that Coach Howard is hoping for? Could this also sway Nimari Burnett or maybe even Josh Christopher more so toward Michigan?

DetUMICH · October 16, 2019, 6:24am

i don’t believe it will be a domino, per se, but i think it will help to answer one question other big recruits might have in terms of good talent surrounding them. Also, maybe even more so it would be the first tangible piece of evidence to us that Juwan’s pitch is playing well to these top end kids.

Cameron0681 · October 16, 2019, 9:21am

Interesting that Howard’s first commit could be a kid who doesn’t even end up playing at Michigan. I’m praying he suits up for us, but this is college hoops in 2020 I guess.

swinawer · October 16, 2019, 12:56pm

Let’s not forget Franz. He could have a big impact on the court, which will impact recruiting. A recruiting win over a pro team is looking more relevant now.

umhoops · October 16, 2019, 12:57pm

Franz is a great addition to the program but was a pretty unique circumstance. Obviously Juwan helped bring that one home, but he has said publicly that he’s looking for his “first commit” so he clearly thinks there’s a difference between Franz and building his first 2020 class.
