Said he had interest from all over and is set on a top two of Davidson and Michigan. He’ll visit Davidson this weekend and Michigan on Monday. Will have a full update for you guys later tonight, but he’s naturally really excited about the positive feedback he’s received from higher level schools.
I heard Creighton was in the mix as well. I think he can be a decent bench player for a few years.
Big big jump from D3 to D1. Agree with Matt should help bench but wanted a big time recruit also.
6"8 . That’s great. I was surprised too. Doesn’t play like it. I didn’t see 1 dunk in his highlight film. Unusual for a 6’8 guy.

45% from 3 is also unusual for a 6’8" guy
Cole McConnell shot 42% in high school. He didn’t play much last year.

Ha. Criticize Michigan recruiting Robinson if you want, but don’t be silly. McConnell was a single digit scorer at New Hampton. Let’s not be ridiculous. That’s almost like saying no one is a good shooter because Andrew Dakich shot 100% from three last season.
Helped me make my point.
My point was him being 45% three point shooter doesn’t tell whole story.

Yet half of his shots were threes and he averaged 17 PPG. Yes, it’s D3. I honestly don’t really know how to gauge the level of competition at the D3 level, but there are plenty of HS kids that face weaker competition.
At 6-8 does he go to the 4?
At 6-8 does he go to the 4?He told me that Beilein thinks he can play the two through the four. I suspect a lot will depend on his weight gain and his handle.

Cole McConnell also doesn’t (nor did) have Davidson, a couple of ACC schools, Big 12, and then a lot of mid-majors looking at him either.
I can see it now; every time Duncan dunks in a game, the student section will get free Dunkin Donuts.
Doubtful - No dunks in the films Ive seen…and that’s against D3.

I was making a joke, but regardless, arenas typically don’t offer promotions like that for regular events.
I wasn’t joking. He is 6’8 & I haven’t seen 1 dunk from him against D3 opponents.
Not impressed with athleticism.
Has Prince Ali moved along or is he still thinking of visiting?

If over the course of a season, player A shoots 200 3pt FGs and makes 100 of them…
If over the course of a season, player B shoots 4 3pt FGs and makes 3 of them…
Who do you think is the better shooter? Volume + ridiculous percentages >>> just ridiculous percentages.

Any chance he’ll extend his search if he gets interest from high-major powerhouses? Or is he pretty set on UM and Davidson?
