?Feel like we can safely cross out Georgetown, providence. Think it’s a two horse race between Michigan and UConn with a hair lead for UConn.
B10 schools are just hard to compete with resources wise these days and appealAfraid of the B10 schools, but there's nobody on that list we can't beat.
What is this, your tiger face ?
Asking because I’m legitimately curious. What would it entail to change our defensive scheme to match his strengths? Is he not a good shot blocker/quick enough laterally to hard hedge?No one saying Michigan is the leader has any clue what they are talking about. Not a single one. Stop making stuff up.
UConn positives: The kid didn't even leave his hometown for hs. He's super close to his family. That's a huge benefit for us. We also play through the post quite a bit on offense.
UConn negatives: well, we did Sanogo dirty early this season. He'd also be playing behind Sanogo for a year, presumably. Our defensive scheme doesn't really match his playing style.
No idea with Michigan frankly. I do know that they have prioritized him as a recruit, and that hunter Dickinson had huge success there recently as a giant, kind slow big man (like Donovan would be).
Makes me wonder if it will come down to fit vs proximity to home. Hurley needs to be telling this kid that we will adjust our defensive scheme to match his strengths.

Long way to the finish line. Got that hemorrhoid emoji vibe goin' on LOL
I love how ppl are certain Michigan is the leader because he might’ve had a Michigan poster on his wall when he was 10. For all we know one of those other schools is the biggest competition. Fit, relationship with coaches and players, perception of ability to get him to the next level, etc, are all going to carry way more weight than his “favorite team growing up”.No one saying Michigan is the leader has any clue what they are talking about. Not a single one. Stop making stuff up. This isn't NASCAR, you don't get a hair lead. Kids change their minds by the second. No one knows what Donovan is thinking. DONOVAN probably doesn't know what he's thinking.

no one said that was the extent of the reasoning. Michigan has everything going for it as a program right now on top of the fact that clingan said he was a fan. iirc it was recent not just a childhood thing, but how many times did your favorite childhood teams change? because mine never have. if he'd said he was a UNH fan as a kid no one would ascribe any weight to that re his college choice, it's clearly differentI love how ppl are certain Michigan is the leader because he might’ve had a Michigan poster on his wall when he was 10

doubtful, or were you just a fair weather fan as a kid?Lol. Ok, got it
