Predicting Michigan basketball’s 2022 recruiting class
By Brock Heilig
Jett Howard, (SF/SG)
Jett Howard‘s recruitment seems to be the definition of a lock. Despite the younger Howard brother stating that North Carolina and Duke are on his list of dream schools, no school can be more appealing than the University of Michigan.
No recruiting battle should be easier for Juwan Howard to win. He already did it once in fact, luring Jett’s older brother Jace to Ann Arbor just a year ago. Jett is a 6-foot-6 180 pound small forward/shooting guard out of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. He is also a top-50 recruit in the 2022 class according to 247Sports.
With the direction, Michigan basketball is heading, and his father at the helm of it all, there should be no doubt in Howard’s mind of where he should play college basketball. The Howard legacy should continue in Ann Arbor as the quest for a national championship continues.
Ty Rodgers, (SF)
Ty Rodgers is a highly-touted prospect, who is similarly rated to the aforementioned Jett Howard. Rodgers is an in-state prospect, ranked only behind the former Michigan State commit, Emoni Bates.
The 6-foot-7 195 pound forward is fresh off a visit with Tom Izzo and Michigan State, however, that shouldn’t phase Juwan Howard and his staff. Howard has been recruiting Rodgers for quite some time, and at this point, Michigan basketball is considered to be the clear leader.
After all the recruiting success, followed by in-game success, Juwan is nearly at a pick-and-choose point when it comes to recruiting.
When it comes down to it, if Howard wants Ty Rodgers, he will more than likely land him.
