Michigan Basketball: 5 Bold predictions for Wolverines 2019-20 season

If you build it, they will come

The Field of Dreams quote perfectly sums up what the future holds for Michigan basketball.

Since accepting the position as the David and Meredith Kaplan Men’s Basketball Head Coach, Howard has made a name for himself on the recruiting trail, targeting the best of the best. Most of the guys on Howard’s board are top 50 nationally, and he’s not being cast aside by the likes of coach K or the coach from that school that’s in a lot of trouble.

Howard is so impressionable the Wolverines are being named in the top ten, top five, or better for top talent. All he needs to do is win to land those incredible athletes.

“Juwan, it’s his first year in college basketball,” Brian Burnett, father of Nimari Burnett, said. “We want to see how he is really going to adjust to the college style of play. He went over everything in the visit on what type of style they’re going to run, but it’s not like seeing in action.

“We want to see how he adjusts when his team is having a bad day, how he adjusts to his players and so forth in a game situation. Once we see maybe three or four games, we’ll go from there.”

Nimari is a five-star and is ranked 22nd in the nation for the 2020 class. He’s not good, he’s one of the best and a high priority for the Howard staff.

If you build it, the five-stars will come.
