Michigan Basketball: 6 Prospects Wolverines can realistically land

First two

We’re going to start with two of the toughest to get read on for the class.

Efton Reid is one of those guys that Michigan seems to be doing well recruiting, or they’re in last place. No one can say with 100% certainly UM will be the one who gets him, but the overwhelming narrative is Michigan is going to be his destination.

My fellow hoops fanatic, GBMWolverine contributor, and Twitter legend Wolverine Corner recently discussed Efton in his article and provided the following scouting report:

"He’s not going to wow you with elite athleticism. But his footwork and fundamentals easily make up for that. That’s where you really see how accurate the Tim Duncan comparisons are. He also has an underrated jump shot. Reid is very comfortable in the mid-range game and is not afraid to step out and make the occasional 3-ball. This will allow him to play both the 4 and the five spot at the next level as his game and athleticism continue to develop."

He also believes, “Michigan is the leader in his recruitment.” At this point, I’m inclined to agree, Michigan is winning with Reid.

Who else?

Trevor Keels, on the other hand, is a wild card. Efton and Keels were on the same squad as Hunter Dickinson and Terrance Williams, which should give Michigan some advantage. Still, you never know, and with how quiet Keels is about his top programs, it’s practically impossible to tell who’s the team to beat for the second-best shooting guard in the nation.

What we do know is Trevor is physically ready for the NBA right now, and he still has a year of high school left. One more year with Dug McDaniel, a point guard from the 2022 class reportedly leaning toward the Wolverines, and one more year for Juwan to seal the deal.
