The Wolverines are intent on landing a lead-guard type for the 2022 class with Devante Jones and Zeb Jackson the only potential upperclassmen guards on the current roster a year from now. Jones may have professional aspirations and attrition in contemporary basketball is the expectation rather than the exception. Things are heating up fast, as one visit has been completed and two more on deck. This may very well be a race to commit first. The latest below.
Bradley Visit Complete Had an Epic First Official visit at The University of Michigan. Thank You to Coach Howard and the Michigan Family���� pic.twitter.com/0NIviz043C — Jaden Bradley (@JBsmoovve) June 7, 2021 5-star Jaden Bradley took his official visit to Michigan over the weekend and details have been scant. Poppa Bradley provided some generic quotes to Rivals today: "Awesome. It was really awesome. Jaden is a quiet kid, so it helped that they had Zeb [Jackson] there with him. He talked about his own experience ... it was really good to have him there."
So not much in the way of ascertaining where Michigan stands in the aftermath, though one can only assume Juwan Howard increases the likelihood of a commitment whenever he is presented with the opportunity to interact with prospects and their respective families. Bradley will also take OVs to Alabama, UNC and Arizona during his national visit tour this month. An unofficial visit to Kentucky is also in the works for August. So perhaps the absence of a strong public reaction isn't all that surprising, as the ability to compare isn't yet available. That said, I still believe this to be an uphill battle between the various college options, potential reclassification and the pro-route. As always though, hosting Jaden for an OV means we're a legit option. [Hit THE JUMP for updates on Trimble, McDaniel and a 2023 you should definitely know]
