Mu three deep for Elliott today. Wojo,Johnson and Nelson.
-
Let's land him.
-
If we land only one more person for 2017 (lets say Greg) does that mean the other scholarship will go to 2018. Because currently we only have 1 scholarship for 2018

Most likely will be saved for grad transfer.

That means we would only have 1 scholarship for 2018 to either land Joey, Race, Ramey or Jarvis

Your math is wrong. Duane and Rowsey will graduate. A grad transfer would be a third graduating senior. That opens three scholarships, one of which goes to Bailey. Could still land Joey and Ramey.

Detroit East English boys basketball all business from the start to beat King, 71-57
1 / 20
Complete Box Score ยป
DETROIT, MICH. -- The Detroit East English Village boys basketball team wanted to make a statement on its home court on Tuesday evening.
After leading from almost start to finish against Detroit Martin Luther King, it is safe to say that the Bulldogs made the statement it wanted with a 71-57 win. Both programs entered the matchup with 7-1 records but King was undefeated in Detroit Public School League play while East English lost its first league game on Friday against Detroit Osborn.

Now, East English (8-1) is back on top of the league standings.
"We just wanted to (say) that it was a hiccup," Bulldogs senior guard Greg Elliott said of the loss to Osborn. "Everyone is going to have one but we just got it back. It's all good."
Aside from struggling to hit shots in the third quarter, it really was all good for East English. After King took a brief 5-3 lead within the first two minutes of the game, East English never trailed again. Elliott ended up leading the way for the Bulldogs with 27 points and 10 rebounds while junior David DeJulius added 20 points and 7 assists.
After King (7-2) managed to cut East English's lead to 10 points heading into the fourth quarter, Elliott posterized a Detroit King player to send the Bulldogs' home crowd into a frenzy. The dunk sparked 7-0 run for the Bulldogs over the next 90 seconds, with Elliott getting five of the points.
"That sequence, it was time for us to bite down," Elliott said. "Bite down and we've got to pick up ourselves amd get a stop. We had to get two stops first before we could get our offense to settle. After we got our defensive stops, it was just score. Get to the rim and do what I do best: score."
Elliott had also wowed the crowed in the first quarter as well when he was fed an alley-oop from DeJulius, a Michigan commit.
"We know that we've got to be on one page for us to be successful so its a must for us to have a bond (on the court)," DeJulius said. "We're just two unselfish people capable of scoring the ball."
Despite how good Elliott and DeJulius were in the game -- as they've been all season -- it was sophomore Tariq Sheperd who sparked the Bulldogs offense early, scoring 9 of his 11 points in the first quarter.
"They brought it and won the first four minutes," East English coach Juan Rickman said. "That's what we try to focus on, playing the game in four-minute spurts ... Tariq, he had been in a slump shooting the ball lately but he's been putting time in the gym and getting better. We just need him to do the other stuff better and he's been doing it lately.
"He's getting better and he's stepping it up."
King was led by 17 points from Jesse Scarber and 11 points from Antonio Marshall.

Besides, haven't we learned anything these past many, many years? Scholarships tend to become "available," not just at MU but at just about every D1 school. That's the way the game is played nowadays.

Yup, and if Wojo continues to recruit this level of high school talent, we'll likely see more transfers in the years to come.
-
If he is willing to come, take him. MU needs to balance the roster. Available scholarships will open up. Accept it as part of college basketball, not a Wojo failing. The one thing I see missing in his highlight videos is on-ball defense on the perimeter. I see him blocking shots, but that will not be his role at MU. Would really like to see if he can stay with quick players. Having a guard with size who can contain the dribble by himself? Please.

Listed his priorities as playing style and coaching staff. Glad he didn't say playing time because we have a lot of guys at his position. Would like a kid like him to add depth and develop on the bench.

I have to imagine Wojo is being straight up with him. From all reports, Wojo is always very honest with his guys, and guys he recruits.

i see your point tower, but he may be doing for his team what it needs to win. i'm hoping that if MU needs good defense on the opposition's quicker players and good ball handling, it would have evaluated these areas independently or figured greg is so talented and such a good athlete that they don't see this as a problem moving forward
-
RS, I am sure he IS doing what his team needs him to do. 6'3 guys who can jump and block shots are important in high school. Maybe he is the 2nd tallest guys on his team and needs to guard the post. I get it. And he certainly can score. I am concerned that he is not a good on-ball defender. After this season, I would think everyone should worry about it.

Not if you ask MUFNY. And he has it first hand from every single player on the roster, who all are great kids with great parents and support systems, so, you know. Careful what reports you're reading. The guy is the ultimate deceiver and makes everyone indifferent about basketball.

well, then there is only one way to resolve this-either on our team or someone else's. i am going to put this in the hands of the people who's livelihoods depend on evaluating him, but i understand your concern

We lose JJ this year and Duane next year......
So there is plenty of playing time at the 2.....

He seems like a real good offensive player just need him to improve his defense

There is an article linked in the recruiting thread where GE's HS coach talks about Greg being a defender first and foremost early in his career. His offensive role has exploded this year.
Granted, most HS players need to improve their defensive technique when they get to college and I have no idea how GE's defensive fundamentals are. But I found his coach's comments to be interesting.
-
Nowhere does it say that GE's defense is poor. I expressed regret that in his highlight videos, we never see him play on-ball defense and that his role on his HS team is to block shots, which won't be his role at MU. To extrapolate from that post that he is poor on defense is not fair to the young man.

This is a kid that had a late growth spurt. A 6 foot guard is not what MU needs, add 3 inches and now he is 2 guard. He has long arms that is for sure. A little skinny
but so what, Cain is skinny too. Both need to add some weight, with only 11 players right now for next year, I do not see anybody redshirting unless a 12th player
is added in spring. Eke as well. When it comes to playing D, he will just have to get stronger. That will happen. Froling has to re-shape his body, and the 3 above
as well.

Especialy when he's averaging 3 steals and 2 blocks.

If MU lands Elliott, that would mean 3 players form Detroit in one recruiting class. Michigan State had the trio from Flint, MI that were dubbed the Flintsones back when Izzo won his national championship. If Elliott signs, we gotta come up with a cool nickname too. Motor City Madmen?

Don't be too much of a Historian....forget about that last Interception.
-
Michael Sims, Kenny Rice, John Jimmerson (IIRC). Chris Crawford was from Michigan. Polonowski, Grimm. (Second best big in Michigan in his year behind Paul Davis who went to MSU. Slight talent gap) Brandon Bell was Charlie Bell's (Running mate to Mateen Cleeves on the Sparty NC team) little brother. James Matthews..... took a swing at a coach before he played a single minute at MU, IIRC. Another high character guy for Crean.
Cain, Eke, and Elliot are all legit.

Jay Zuloff was also from Michigan - Port Huron.

Detroit Exploits
-
Crawford had a nice career at MU. Look at his 4 yr ascension, one of the most improved players i have seen over 4 yrs at MU.
Was also off to a very fine nba career until injuries derailed him.
Was also drafted by MLB and under the rules of tge times was a walk on at MU while his mlb team paid his tuition.
Comstock HS outside KZoo

Detroit Exploits
Or how bout Detroit Rock City
Then we can explain that, in this sense, Rock means basketball, not music
The t-shirt sells itself
on front: Detroit Rock City
then on the back, in parentheses: ("Rock" meaning basketball, not music)
Navy blue shirt, gold font. Just put in a bulk order for 1,000 will let the board know when they arrive

I know it's a bit off topic but why does it seem that a lot of the 90s greats just aren't involved outside of Mac? Like I never hear anything about Tony smith or Amal mccaskill Or Chris Crawford being involved with the program while we hear of basically every other era being pretty involved.
-

I would guess maybe a bit too recent still? My guess is most of those guys are still either wrapping up playing careers or otherwise employed. Most of the guys that seem to be involved are probably also 30+ years removed from their degree and getting closer to retirement, which allows for more time to focus on things like the basketball program.
-
Tony was just in the atrium signing autographs on Saturday. In recent years he also has filled in for Mac with Homer for a November broadcast.
Robbie has season tickets and goes to Bo Ellis outing every year--so they are around.

I actually see more of them at the Buzz BBQ than any other decade. You just don't recognize them but they are United in their hate of KO (and love).

Typical late riser who will be very sought after during the second signing period. Scoring wasn't his role on his HS team until this year, and he has shown more ability than was expected. Also needs to physically fill out.
-
Does anybody else get a DWade vibe when watching and reading about this kid?
Same height and build (both have/had relatively thin frames), both can fill up the stat sheet, both play multiple positions (but are most comfortable at the 2 guard), both attack the rim, and both were relatively overlooked by major programs (although it seems the word is getting out on Greg).
It appears that G has a better outside shoot, even though I cringe when I see his feet/knees when he releases the ball.
I think this guy would be a great one for MU.
-
I said this a couple weeks back on another board. Greg Elliott reminds me some of former Wisconsin player Devin Harris. Harris was more of a point guard and was a blur with the ball. Built like Harris and has the same agression on the court.
-
Looking like it may come down to Marquette or Michigan St.
-
Best 3 from a Mi city to one school?
MSU via East Lansing, MAGIC, JAY VINCENT, and a guy named "shoes" that didn't amount to much....but didn't have to to make this the best 3...given those first two.
Detroit 3 nickname: De-Trois. Pronounce "Day-twah" similar to French pronunciation of Detroit but with French "3" at the end.

If he's another Devin Harris, that would be perfect!

I'm going to hold off on expectations for Elliott, but we may want to temper them a bit when the two most recent comparisons are both guys that were top-5 lottery picks.

You mean the one and only Jamie Huffman who was so-named by then broaster Al McGuire when he lost a shoe during an MSU blowout and the rest of his team played 4 on 5 while he tried in vain to put his other shoe on.
Coach Al said Huffman was the secret part of package that brought Magic and Vincent from that Lansing high school. Shoes Huffman became a Spartan legend.l

Every recruit is a top five lottery pick until they get on campus at which point most become candidates to be dropped to make room for the next recruit who will be a top five lottery pick until they get on campus........

I saw that game on TV....forgot the name, thanks! And forgot it was McGuire! Thanks again. After Magic left Judd gently let Shoes go. But that was his claim to fame besides being magics HS teammate on the state champs team. Vincent went to cross town rival Lansing Eastern.

So Michigan State offered Elliott a scholarship on Sunday. It'll be hard to beat out Izzo and MSU for an in-sate kid, but should be interesting to see how this recruitment turns out.

Here is a thread of note on him. User MattD is tied in with him and runs Endless Motor (https://twitter.com/endless_motor) out of Michigan. Lot of posts, but basically he's going to take his time, make the visit to MU. Is very close with Cain. Michigan offer could change things. Some bonus Milwaukee hating too.

Worth noting 2018 Michigan commit David DeJulius plays with Elliott at EEVP. Michigan will be in to see them both today per Endless Motor. Hopefully no offer.

Michigan is his dream school, supposedly. MSU will over recruit Elliott during his time there, it happens, happens at MU as well. Key is Cain as they have played together
and I have to believe that is a plus. Playing time at MU is there next year, can play Cheatham at the 3 so there will be time for Cain and Elliott to get considerable playing
time. Back-up to Duane and back-up to Cheatham. Anim is the wild card, not sure where he fits yet? Any word on how he is doing in practice?

It is fun to observe other boards' resident bully.

Always great to see a person who lives in Grafton or further rip Milwaukee. I'd rather read Duane Wilson's commentary.
Sure MKE has its share of issues but many many other rustbelt cities do to. If the New York Times embedded a reporter in Cleveland, Akron, Toledo, Detroit, Flint, Indy etc, etc they would find many of the same problems.
I wonder what HailToTheVictor has done to help the parts MKE he drives past but wants to get further away from?

A lot of these same posters were ripping us and Milwaukee when we were recruiting Cain. I think our chances are very good because we have better visibility to playing time.
-
I think it is great that the big boys are starting to go after Elliott. Does nothing but help our program.
If we want to be a top dog - we gotta get guys they are after. And with the summer circuit, players talk a lot to each other. What could be better than to have players talking about Marquette in the same texts as MSU and other powerhouses. Word of mouth is just one more recruiting tool to use.

Jay Bee, it's in regards to our other Michigan recruit but what are your long-term thoughts on Jamal Cain? A better Jajuan Johnson? Does he come in with hype anywhere near Markus for you?

After watching several Big Ten games on tv this year, I get the impression that the league is very weak. Marquette and other Big East teams play much better ball.
-
The positive for MU is that I see is that Michigan seems to have some talent already at the 2......
Clearly there is playing time next year at the 2 for a player that comes in and kicks A$$ like Howard.....
Caine looks to fit the mold at 3......
Hopefully Elliot has that drive and thinks he can do that at the 2.....
Because if he can.....and he chooses MU......A very good fit.....

Does that mean Hauser will be playing 4 again next season?

The thing about Elliott.... on paper, it may appear that he will be the 6th guard, behind MH, AR, HC, DW, and SA. In reality, there is going to be minutes available. And, if he puts in the work, there will be huge minutes available as a soph, particularly backing up the point.
-

Haven't watched enough to be real comfortable in making strong proclamations, but relative to Markus? No, not at all
Nonetheless, I like some of the physical attributes (nh), how he moves, and versatility in skill set. Seems like the upside is there... will he achieve it?

Starting in 2018-2019 and moving forward, I have to think there will be a lot of minutes available for someone that carve out a niche as a defensive stopper at the 2 or 3. Especially after AR and DW graduate, MH probably projects to fully take over the 1 to the tune of 30-35 mpg. But that's always going to create a need for a 2 with some height that can prevent matchup problems in the backcourt.
And the the shooting that we'll have from MH, Hauser, Bailey will spread the court and create enough offense in Wojo's system to obviate the need for big time offense from the 2. Seems like it'll be a good chance for a young recruit to carve out pretty big minutes and be able to develop his offensive game on the fly.
