John Blackwell apparently WANTED to be at Michigan to start, but wasn’t offered a spot. He grew up within 50 miles of campus.

Now???

Freep this morning was saying a 6’9 point guard from VT or WV was one to watch for UM as well. No idea if has any substance to the story or not.

They also listed Harris, Bidunga, Tiller(another Kansas guy) Estrella and the 6’9 PG Avdalas

Bama needs to get a center who can rebound and can catch the ball when it hits his two hands.

He would be a great problem to have but I don’t even know where we fit a guy like him?

We already have McKenney 6’4" and the freshmen 5 star who is 6’5", Winters Grady 6’6", and possibly the kid from Georgia Tech.

Jackson Shelstad is supposedly getting $4m from Louisville. Having seen him play in person a half a dozen times I find that to be bat shit crazy.

The Greek kid? He was at Virginia Tech.

Well, I also think a lot of the reported numbers should be taken with a large grain of salt

I guess he saw the writing on the wall that he wasn’t going to get much playing time…if any.

Sure. And the source is Arizona insiders. They were rumored to be around 1.5ish. Apparently that was where Jackson wanted to play and Tommy was the coach that he wanted to play for. But the bag at Louisville was just too heavy.

That is the story at least. 4m is 40% of what Zona has to spend.

Supposedly, it’s Kentucky ant close to 25m and then a gap with Louisville, Duke and Michigan in the mid teens and then a bunch of other high end teams around 10m. That was what was rumored for last year at least.
