How does a program on the rise make a statement that it is officially back? You outsell Duke, Florida, and North Carolina and earn the commitment of a national treasure. That’s how.
Mitch McGary has finally made official what a lot of people in and around Michigan basketball thought he would. The #2 prospect in the nation is going to be a Michigan Wolverine.
Mitch McGary
McGary is the most highly rated recruit to touch down in Ann Arbor in about 2 decades. Landing the 6’10’’ power forward/center with all the tools marks a changing of the guard in the world of Michigan basketball recruiting.
No longer will John Beilein be forced to find top-end talent before anyone else is smart enough to identify it. He likely still will, but he won’t have to.

“I am excited about this new opportunity at Michigan, I wouldn’t go there if I didn’t think they could win a national championship.”

Trey Burke, Stu Douglass are good options at point guard for U-M
Though he's working with a small sample, Michigan coach John Beilein has been impressed with the point guard play. Trying to fill the gaping hole left by Darius Morris' off-season departure, Beilein is studying point guards Trey Burke, a freshman, and senior Stu Douglass, who has made himself into a point guard with his versatility.
