Michigan Basketball: The 2021 Wolverine dream team

SG and SF

Moving on to the next two dream team members

SG Trevor Keels

Rivals: 14 NATL, 3 SG

ESPN: 14 NATL, 4 SG, 1 VA

Trevor Keels is a phenomenal athlete and student at Paul VI Catholic High School in Fairfax, VA, where he averages 19.2 points-per-game and a 3.6 GPA.

Outside of school, Trevor participates in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League more commonly referred to as EYBL, and he does so as a member of a familiar team. Keels plays for Team Takeover, where Michigan basketball commits Hunter Dickinson and Terrance Williams came from. Last season, with his highly regarded teammates, Trevor averaged 11.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists.

Jerry Meyer from 247 sports provides the evaluation:

"Tremendous physical strength for a shooting guard. Has length as well. Plays a power game but can score from all three levels. Solid ball handler. Good passer. Has strength to be a better rebounder. Adequate defender."

His coach, Glenn Farello, told Rivals why Keels is a top target.

“His basketball IQ is elite. His desire to make the right play, the winning play, separates him from others because he’s not just a scorer. He can also play-make and he’s unselfish.” Farello stated. “His teammates love to play with him.”

SF Harrison Ingram

A little bit of research will tell you why UNC, a university that created fake classes for athletes, and others like them don’t appeal to the No. 1 player from the state of Texas. Harrison Ingram and his family want a real education and a culture that supports hard work both on the court and in the classroom.

“One of the things I want to make sure of is that when Harrison does go to school that the coach and the coaching staff won’t impede his progress in terms of getting a degree,” Tyrous Ingram, Harrison’s dad, said.

Tyrous could be considered a helicopter dad. He’s not letting the AAU coaches and college scouts dictate his son’s future through the use of unlawful enticements, Tyrous is shaping the narrative by pushing education in lieu of contracts and cash.

That could be Michigan’s way in.

Brian Snow from 247 sports conducted the evaluation:

"A unique prospect with what many would describe as an “old man” type of game. Ingram is one of the most intelligent kids in the country both on the court and off of it. He has a 4.0 GPA and has a bright future in every aspect of life. On the court he is kind of a point forward who uses savvy, skill and intelligence to dominate games. Ingram can play on the ball or off of it, knows how to create space for himself by changing speeds, and is one of the better passers in the class. Also, despite not being a fantastic athlete, Ingram is a very solid rebounder, and competes on the defensive end. His elite IQ and skill make him one of the best prospects in the class, and someone who will exceed his physical tools as a player and producer."
