According to his AAU coach, Givon Crump (PF/SF 2009) plans to officially visit Michigan in September.

His coach also talks about his defensive abilities:
“I think he’s an underrated ...

Matt Vogrich (SG 2009). It looks like Vogrich is becoming one of the main targets on the board. According to this article , Vogrich has plans to visit Ann Arbor and pick up his “official offer on campus. Vogrich sounds like the perfect Beilein player but the depth chart in the backcourt would make this offer at least a little questionable.
Next, there are two fresh premium articles on ...

Got an e-mail from former Maize Rage President Steve Wolters about the new court as well as a couple pictures. Here are some basic details about what’s being done to the court:
New block “M” will be 15 feet in length from top to bottom.
The “MICHIGAN” on each baseline will be centered, as opposed to being towards the edges.
Court should be finished ...

The screen or backlight is apparently shot on my main computer. Might be a little hard to update while I’m getting this fixed for the next couple days. I am in the middle of a couple more posts but I wasn’t expecting my laptop to fry. Stay tuned.
For right now though let’s talk recruiting. What would your ideal use of the remaining 2009 scholarships be?

College coaches looking at Southeastern’s Brandon Kearney
Kearney is very very good, I would guess that he is the number 1 target in 2011. A sophomore point guard that’s already 6-4 is scary. I think the Free Press got his first name though, Rivals and Scout have him listed as Brandan.

Now that Darius Morris is Blue , it’s time to refocus on the rest of the recruits on the board.
Givon Crump. Givon Crump appears to be climbing Michigan’s recruiting board quickly. This article is from early July when Crump played very well at the RBK All American camp but I missed it then.
Crump’s father, Gino Crump, advised Arizona Preps that he received a phone call from ...

Just got an email from Sean Ceglinsky from
the LA Times . Darius Morris verbally committed to
the University of Michigan today. Darius has been the #1 target on Michigan’s recruiting board for some time and is the perfect pass-first ...
According to Rivals the presser is set for 7 PM Eastern (4 PM Pacific). So the few blogs that were reporting Darius already committed are premature. I’ll have a lot more tonight when the time comes so stay tuned. Lacy updated his blog and confirms a lot of what we already know.

Darius Morris is planning to announce his decision
tomorrow: Morris, a 6-foot-3 rising senior at Los Angeles
Windward High School, has kept Michigan among his top college choices, saying that Wolverines coach John Beilein has shown him “a lot ...
NBADraft.net has listed Darius as one of the top 15 2009 prospects at the RBK championships.
Darius actually grew a few inches since participating in last summer’s RBK. Now standing a legit 6′3 ½ which is great size for a PG. Darius was very impressive in Vegas. Not only is he an excellent floor general, but showed the ability to score when called to do so. In his teams first ...

Updates have been a little light lately, I’ve been busy and it’s just been pretty slow.
Summer AAU ball is slowing down and we are getting toward Darius Morris’ expected decision date of “late summer”/August. I’ll try to work on updating the hot board this week as well.
Beilein hired Jeff Meyer to replace Tracy Hamner. Interesting that we would hire ...

Darius Morris and Belmont Shore were unable to defend their title and were sent home early. Tough week for Darius and probably not evident of his true ability. He had 15 points in Belmont’s loss to Arizona Metro Elite. Here are his complete stats for the week (averaged 11.8 ppg).
Jordan Morgan and King James actually won yesterday. Heres what ESPN had to say about Jordan’s game ...

King James took a loss yesterday but it looks like Jordan Morgan had a very good game scoring 20 points on 9 of 12 shooting with 5 boards. Darius Morris and Belmont Shore got a win but Darius had another lackluster gmae scoring 7 points. It seems like the long summer-grind may be getting to Darius.
On Grass Roots TV today you can catch Jordan Morgan and Roger Franklin this afternoon. Team ...
