    • Another offer. He's not ranked by 247, I'm guessing because he plays in Canada but both ESPN and Rivals have him in their top-25:

      • I think the current 2021 Offers that they are still in the running for (or at least haven't been eliminated from) are:

        #1 Jonathan Kuminga
        #2 Chet Holmgren
        #3 Patrick Baldwin Jr.
        #6 Jaden Hardy
        #9 Michael Foster
        #10 Moussa Diabate
        #13 Max Christie
        #18 Trevor Keels
        #20 Efton Reed
        #21 Charles Bediako (I guess I missed his 247 ranking until now)
        #27 Jalen Warley
        #92 Kobe Bufkin
        #99 Jaden Aikens
        Unranked 3-star Isaiah Barnes

        I guess I wouldn't mind seeing a few offers going out to the guys in the 30-60 range but I'm also okay with Juwan aiming high. Again, if you hit with 2 of the top 11 guys on this list, that's a very good class. Then get some others to fill in the gaps.

          Add #29 Matthew Cleveland to the offer list. 6'6" wing. Looks pretty smooth. Reminds me a little of Zak Irvin, size/athleticism-wise.

          • Looks like another 2022 offer has gone out: Caleb Houstan, ranked #9 overall.

            • 2021 OFFERS UPDATE:

              #1 Jonathan Kuminga
              #2 Chet Holmgren
              #3 Patrick Baldwin Jr.
              #6 Jaden Hardy
              #9 Michael Foster
              #10 Moussa Diabate
              #13 Max Christie
              #18 Trevor Keels
              #20 Efton Reed
              #21 Charles Bediako
              #27 Jalen Warley
              #29 Matthew Cleveland
              #92 Kobe Bufkin
              #99 Jaden Aikens
              Unranked 3-star Isaiah Barnes
              Unranked 3-star Angelo Brizzi

              Brizzi, a PG, was offered today. He's gotten a fair amount of attention in the past few weeks and Michigan joins Villanova, Colorado, and Va Tech as recent Power 5 offers.
              I watched a highlight video of his last week and he's a lot of fun to watch. Shoots beyond NBA-range and makes some really nice passes. Maybe it's his last name but he seems like a typical Villanova PG. I think he'd be a fan-favorite here and I expect him to be added to 247's rankings soon.

              Oh, there's also talk that Michael Foster may reclassify into the 2020 class.

                Unranked 3-star Angelo Brizzi

                Ingram is the newest offer. 6'6" wing out of Texas. Stanford has the only crystal ball predictions in but Michigan was recruiting him when Beilein was still here, so he's not an entirely new target.

                • A 2022 offer went out yesterday to 6'2" PG, Jaden Bradley. He's rated #8 overall.

                    It's also the start of Silly List Season!

                    Michigan made Patrick Baldwin Jr.'s Final 10 and Harrison Ingram will name his Final 10 tonight.

                    For me, I think Final 6 is the borderline between serious interest and a flirtation.

                    • Your weekly update, as another 2021 Offer (Peyton Watson) seems to have gone out. Watson posted a week or so back that Michigan was amongst his 3 "Dream Schools" along with Duke and Maryland. Also, some rankings have changed.

                      #1 Jonathan Kuminga
                      #2 Chet Holmgren
                      #3 Patrick Baldwin Jr. (Final 10)

                      #12 Max Christie
                      #16 Harrison Ingram (Final 10)

                      #90 Kobe Bufkin
                      #94 Jaden Aikens
                      Unranked 3-star Isaiah Barnes
                      Unranked 3-star (#39 PG) Angelo Brizzi


                      Also, Jett Howard committed to IMG Academy for (presumably) the rest of his H.S. career. It's higher profile for him and also may help Michigan recruiting since some of his teammates are targets.

                      • There's talk of Efton Reed reclassifying to 2020 and that Michigan is still in the hunt.

                          Brizzi has jumped up from the unranked to #139.

                          • Quick dip to the Women's side of things- They have 2021 verbal commitments from 2 of ESPN's top 36 players. That follows up getting the #30 player in the country this year. With the likelihood that both Naz Hillmon and Amy Dilk will be sticking around all 4 years, the Women's team could very well be a national power in '21-'22.

                            Having photographed 3 games in '18-'19 and about 10 games this past season, I've got more of a rooting interest (as well as a greater appreciation for their play) than I had 3 years ago. It's really cool to see what Coach KBA has built.

                            • Another 2021 offer: SF Quincy Allen. EDIT: Make that two offers today. SG/SF Brandon Weston joins the party too!

                              DOUBLE EDIT: Jonathan Kuminga eliminates Michigan from his final 5 options (4 schools and the G-League).

                              #6 Jaden Hardy
                              #9 Michael Foster
                              #11 Moussa Diabate
                              #12 Max Christie
                              #16 Harrison Ingram (Final 10)
                              #17 Trevor Keels
                              #18 Peyton Watson
                              #21 Efton Reed
                              #22 Charles Bediako
                              #27 Jalen Warley
                              #28 Matthew Cleveland
                              #46 Quincy Allen
                              #76 Brandon Weston

                              #90 Kobe Bufkin
                              #94 Jaden Aikens
                              #139 Angelo Brizzi
                              Unranked 3-star Isaiah Barnes

                              So, it looks like Juwan is filling in the gap he had between top-30 guys and top-100 guys.

                              • FWIW- Juwan's offered 11 kids in the 2022 class, all ranked within the top-54. His son Jett is #54.
