Class of 2017 C Mohammed Bamba (PA) to Texas

[EastCoast2]

Hopefully he will not be influenced by MJ or Jeter who were also at the game today...

Thought the same thing. I bet UM begged him to come this weekend know MJ and Jeter (Bamba is a NY kid) were going to be there. Hopefully he realizes it's a football school and those mouth breathers treat basketball as a bridge to the spring football season.

MJ? What does he have to do with Michigan?

 

[Shawn91111]

The only thing they have in common is that Jeter came from Michigan, and MJ had once heard of Michigan

The Michigan uniforms have the jumpman on them in football this year. I believe that's why MJ was in the big house.

I know Jeter was at UM for like one semester. A guy I work with was randomly his roommate there.

When I first read your post, I said BS; but this link {Jeter at Michigan} suggests that Jeter was a big Michigan fan, had a relationship with Michigan baseball and attended classes there in the fall of 1992.

I just watched some recent videos of Mo. I hadn't watched any of his videos in months, because I didn't think we had a shot. I have made the mistake of letting myself believe we could land him. He is unbelievable, and to think we might land Mo, Quade and Randolph...no words. I know it probably won't happen, but it could, and that is what makes recruiting so fun. And, maybe Mo would want to stick around a second year to play with his Westtown teammate Cam Reddish, giving us the Westtown trio of Mo, Cam and Brandon. These dreams always seem to fade into reality as the classes come together, and we usually have good classes, but maybe one of these days the dream will come true.

as someone who attended both Westtown and Syracuse, I would flat out love that!! Just need an FM kid on the roster and a 5th year transfer from American

He was gonna play there, unless drafted by Yankees.

It is the Harvard of ... well no where. But it is easily the top institution in Fayette County Ky.

I spent a couple of years at Westtown, during which I learned to say " Thee"

Lol I don't know what Westtown is, but I can infer. So you all studied urban Shakespeare?

Quakers

 

[orangejunkie]

Had good ball teams when I played there in the late 60s, but not the level of todays squads. Headmaster has told me that recent recruits actually contact Westtown, as opposed to the school going out to actively recruit players.

Quakers

Keep in mind I went to Whitesboro High School, SUNY Cortland for undergrad, NC State for grad. So I don't follow here.
