Figured with all the recruits being targeted by Michigan or committed (Frankie, Moussa, and Caleb) who play on the national scene this would be a useful thread.
IMG played last night and live streamed their game:
Good idea for a thread.
Isaiah Barnes on Simeon
Hmmmm now I want Chipotle.
I gotta give a shout out to Milton, a local to me Atlanta area public school. The only public school in that tournament. And even Pace Academy in Atlanta that doesn’t have a “national” team like the others do, and no boarding students.
Hey I don’t see Yipsi Prep on that bracket. What happened Mr. Bates?
As we turn the page to next year… good starting point.
a lot of people projecting johns a the starting 4 but its going be tough to keep diabate off the court
I am projecting Johns as the starting four, but my, oh my, Diabate is lookin’ SO good. You’re right, it will be tough to keep him off the floor. Fortunately, I think he can play both the four and the five. Is 18-20 minutes enough? Boy…I don’t know. He’s good!
Moussa is gonna be a beast next year him and Hunter in the high low
Moussa will provide rim protection that Michigan haven’t had since Udoh.
In that last clip, looks like he’s guarding OSU’s guard recruit and staying in front of him.
I’ll admit that Hunter broke all of my expectations for freshmen bigs when he showed he was a 30mpg guy and a focal point of the team. I had him at 20mpg building to a McGary-like late-season surge.
So my instincts say that Diabate at 20mpg split between the 4 and 5 (assuming Johns stays and Houstan plays mostly the 3) would be about right for a talented but somewhat raw prospect. Yet thanks to Hunter maybe I should be assuming he’s closer to 30mpg and starting at the 4…
My thoughts exactly!
