Michigan basketball: Breaking down contact with 2022 recruits
A four and a five-star
There aren’t any reports of Juwan reaching out to his son Jett Howard, a four-star prospect for the 2022 class. That’s most likely the case because the Howards don’t have any interest in social media or the sports media. They don’t take interviews very often, and they don’t need to, they let their talent speak for itself.
Jett’s older brother Jace (Michigan basketball commit for the 2020 class) didn’t receive types of offers that Jett has already accumulated at such a young age. However, he had several options at the Division I level, and he was a three-star when he finally committed to play for his dad at U-M.
Jett, on the other hand, is, no matter what recruiting service you look at, in the top 70 for his class, and he could get much higher than that.
“Jett is one of the most talented individuals I’ve ever been around. Absolutely,” Ron Oliver, Jett’s coach at University School in Florida, said. “And now it seems like he’s gotten taller. You’re talking about a 6-7, 6-8 kid who can do it all offensively. Name it, he can do it.”
Jett’s highest-ranking comes from ESPN, where they have him at 37th overall.

Mark Mitchell
A man among boys. Mark Mitchell, the 6-foot-7 prospect, is one of the best in the country, and, according to Rivals, Mark is with the top 15 for his class.
Listed as a SF by many, tape reveals he’s more suited for the PF position. He is a capable ball-handler, but he’s certainly more comfortable in the paint where he can dunk, defend, and overpower his inferior peers.
247 sports ranks the Kansas native 28th nationally, the No. 8 SF, and No. 1 from KS with four-stars. Rivals, as mentioned above, has the five-star at No. 13 in the country, and ESPN ranks him at No. 21 with five-stars.
