Brandon Wade, from Ann Arbor skyline. Played at Duquesne last year. I’m assuming he’d be a walkon
He shot 19% from the field last year as a freshman at Duquesne. With the way Juwan’s recruiting, I’d have to imagine this would be a walk-on
No, Wade isn’t a scholarship player here, but Ronnie Bell was top player in Missouri and would only have to go through a physical.
I’d assume Wade would have to go through more of a process
I played Ronnie Bell in IM basketball and I’m not sure he would be worth getting that excited about haha. Not sure who else it could really be
Brandon Wade as a walk-on makes a lot of sense here given the circumstances. Will have to do some digging though.
Football -> basketball doesn’t generally work out very well. Not sure that would really make sense. And it isn’t like Ronnie Bell isn’t an important piece of the football team.
So who is Ant Wright talking about? If it’s Ronnie Bell can he play this season? I know I’m in the wrong lane, but since we’re all gathered here. . .
What’s the current status of Kyree Walker? Could this possibly be about him?
BTW if it is Brandon Wade, um has had quite a few talented walk-ons in the last 10 years or so. Eso akunne, Jaron faulds, dumars son, bartlestein, Brent hibbits were all kids with d1 offers. Obviously none of them turned into major contributors but that’s quite the run of walk-ons.
Sounds like Ronnie Bell to me. Harbaugh can’t be too happy. This would mean Bell misses Alabama, presumably.
Ronnie Bell wasn’t a top 5 player from the state of Michigan so it’s clearly not him.
Doesn’t say Michigan. Says “in his state” FWIW.
It says “top 5 player in the state.”
Ronnie Bell is from Missouri, WTF. He had a D2 scholarship to Missouri State, then changed his mind and went with football.
I’m well aware, and since he’s not from the state, it’s not him.
I doubt he was a top 5 player in the state when his only offer was D2. I tried to look up his recruiting profile and couldn’t find anything.
I also doubt Ant would be breaking this news over the plethora of football insiders. Lastly, you don’t refer to a state that you don’t live in as “the state”.
There’s no way it’s Ronnie Bell.
You’re right. I read it more ambiguously, but on reflection see that it likely does mean Michigan. Curious that Wright is excited about it, though, when Wade elicits no excitement at all. If they’re friends that probably explains it.
Was Wade top 5 in MI?

Ant is and has been a big fan of Wade.
My bad on Missouri State as D2. It’s a D1 program, albeit not a great one.
I don’t interpret “in the state” as meaning Michigan. We’ll find out
Sai Tummala played for ASU and then was a valuable sixth man for Hawaii when they won a game in the NCAA tournament.
