9 weekend, he confirmed on an Instagram story. Michigan class of 2024 five-star recruit John Bol of Bel Aire (Kansas) Sunrise Christian will visit U-M Sept. As of now, Michigan appears to be on the outside looking in. He plans to cut his list to “about seven” in the weeks to come. “I want to make sure all mine are accurate with the schools I really want to focus on, and the schools that are focused on me.” “I want to utilize all my five visits, but I don’t want to waste any,” he said. Jackson told Maryland, Texas, Miami, Villanova, Virginia, UCLA, and VCU were recruiting him hardest, but he has no official visits scheduled yet. Maryland and Miami are locks to get visits, and they’re the ones being mentioned most with him. 17, but he has yet to set up a Michigan trip.

The 6-3, 185-pounder might visit Texas Sept. Jackson had a huge spring and summer and is now On3.com’s No. The Wolverines waited, however, and now it seems they’re playing catch-up. Michigan is playing catch-up with Elmarko JacksonĮlmarko Jackson of South Kent (Conn.) School, nephew of former Michigan football All-American Marlin Jackson, might already be in the class had U-M offered earlier.

He’s kept it close to the vest, but Michigan still seems to have work to do on this one. 40 On3 composite) has visited Villanova and become a higher priority for North Carolina after a mid-June offer. Some believe USC will be the pick. He was averaging 15.1 points and a Nike EYBL circuit-leading 6.0-assists per game, shooting 44.8 percent from long range before getting hurt and shut down. The 6-2, 190-pound Collier had a great visit, by all accounts, but seems to be leaning toward staying out west. Two other prospects, elite point guard Isaiah Collier of Marietta (Ga.) Wheeler and forward Zayden High of Spring Branch (Texas) High, visited in late July. We believe Michigan is clinging to a slim lead here. “My family and I are very far along into our decision, but I’ll discuss everything with my family to see what’s best for me,” he said. He gave no timetable, but it seems to be winding up. The relationship with the coaching staff will be big.” I’ll look at where they can develop me and help me to get better on and off the court. “I will be looking for a family where I can call home because I’m an international student. “Any school can still jump in at any time because I’m looking for a place to help me get better and reach my goals. “I don’t have a top four schools yet,” Kante said. Kante’s former AAU coach with the New York Rens was recently hired there, and they could try to reach out. He was an assistant coach at South Kent school his first year there and went to Pittsburgh last year. Maryland sees him “playing a lot as a freshman,” as does Pitt, where assistant coach Gilbert Brown is working on him. Rutgers received a pledge from his good friend and former Michigan wing target Gavin Griffiths, and they’re also heavily recruiting some of his other friends. Rutgers, Pitt, and Maryland are also in the mix. They said they’re going to let me shoot it, and they keep telling me how they will put me in a great position to succeed in life.” They say they’re going to play me like they did Moussa or like Bam Adebayo. Coach Howard played in the league for 20 years and knows what’s takes to get there. He was at pre-draft and told me how Michigan helped him to get better. “I talked to Moussa Diabate on the phone during my visit there.

I still talk to him now, even though I’m back home. “He’s texting me after every game and before games, good game or bad game. I have a great relationship with coach Howard,” Kante said. Still, U-M seems pretty comfortable with its standing heading toward Kante’s decision. The Wolverines seemed to be the choice after a great visit in June, but Rutgers and others have closed the gap. Two analysts we’ve spoken with off the record believe Michigan leads, but not by much. I may visit all four again to know them more, but I’m not for sure yet. “I’m not sure if I’ll take any more visits when I come back. “I took four official visits, Michigan, Maryland, Rutgers, and Pittsburgh,” Kante told On3.com. Several teams offered, but he appears to be down to four … or maybe five. A talented bit man who continues to evolve offensively, Kante averaged 10 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game on the Nike Elite Youth Basketball (EYBL) circuit this summer.
