Judging from the headline of a Scout.com article, AJ Turner still does not have the Michigan offer he wants.

I like his game a lot and I hope he eventually gets one.

I thought as much.

Frankly, I like Turner's game more than Bluiett's game but I have to defer to Coach Beilein.

However, we were fortunate that we didn't get Trey Zeigler. Coach Beilein and his staff have done an excellent job of recruiting but I never understood why we pursued him. Even on tape, Zeigler looked below average. You should hear Pittsburgh Panthers fans talk about him. Many of them even hate him.

I just watched Mark Donnal highlight tape, good God am I excited about him! He can play inside and outside. Gonna give the offense another special player who is hard to match up against.

Boy, all the Spartys that think we're going away post-Buke are in for a rude awakening.

I agree. GR3 is the recruit who I want to stay the most. (Burke doesn't count, no chance he stays)

Ricky Doyle is a good pickup for 2014. I am praying to god we pick up Booker. He's the difference between a good class and a great class.

Ya Booker is the Gem of the class for us. Really hope we get him. I would love for Tim to stay but I feel like him and Burke are gone. If GRIII stays that would be huge! I'm so happy that he has shown up in the tournament and played big time so far. Hope that doesn't give him the confidence to make the leap to the next level. I'll give him permission to leave if we win the dance!

Don't think UM would just go away.. but won't challenge for the B1G annually after Trey leaves. But who knows, if Burke's the only one that leaves, and everyone else comes back- UM will still be a top 10-15 team next year.. losing Timmy too and maybe GR3 would drop them to borderline 25

And let's not forget Booker also has MSU offer.. highly doubt he ends at UM

Those arent our only players though. We have a very young team and have another solid class coming in next year with guys that will be taking over for who leaves. Walton will replace Burke and we will have an older Spike to back him up. We will have Zak Irvin to replace Timmy when he leaves. Donnal could play the 4 or 5 so he will compliment our bigs very well and the fact that he can shoot farther shots means he could be a great replacement for Robinson at the 4 in JB's system (if Robinson leaves) then we have an older McGary who has shown signs of being a future star, an older Stauskas whom I think will be VERY good next year, and a more mature and filled out Caris Levert. We aren't going anywhere!!

Haven't you heard they will be a top 3 team to start the season next year and have the great Izzo. We all know how that turned out for them when Lucas, Summers, etc... came back and they were ranked #2 to start the season.

Based on what? (serious question)

Excellent synopsis of a fixed time frame Woody..

The fact is, Izzo has 6 FF's.. UM hasn't had that in 20 years. Izzo has a Title.. B___ doesn't.

MSU doesn't need a recruiting class for 2013 with everyone coming back. And so losing 1 recruit means what? Izzo can't recruit? Doesn't MSU start three 5 stars?

What makes you think MSU isn't even on Booker's radar? And when was the last time UM pulled a recruit that had a MSU offer? Weber?

Feel free to use any subjective timeframe you want to attempt to showcase UM's bball program's on equal footing.. but you and I both know which one is superior

UM absolutely is trending up.. but from the bottom- there's nowhere else to go

So you think we're trending up to become the top of the bottom tier.. In other words, you think we aren't trending up.

Like I said earlier, you'll be in for a rude awakening soon enough.
