Michigan Wolverines: No. 1 Big 10, No.14 Nation

Jace Howard 6’8 / 210 SF:

Able to a little bit of everything, something that everybody should expect from a coach’s son. The three-star recruit coming out of University School in South Florida is not going to win many games by himself, but will not be the reason for any losses either. With a mid-range game that must be respected and hustle on the boards that must be admired, Howard, although does not look to be 6’8 will be open to coaching as he improves.

Terrance Williams 6’6 / 210 SF:

Able to control the ball in traffic by using his body to get to the basket. The ‘Maize Rage’ in the student section of Crisler Center will not get much, if any, flash from the four-star recruit, they will be witness to a great seal off in the paint and finishing plays with contact. Williams was listed as the power forward at Gonzaga High School, but only because of his height. He can guard up top, lead fast breaks, and while he loves to drive on the right side, he can finish with both hands.

Zeb Jackson 6’2 / 160 SG:

Landing as the number 77 recruit on the last RSCI, the four-star guard loves to set-up the defender with a crossover to get him off balance and then rise up for the jumper. Came off the bench at Montverde Academy, but when on the floor, even alongside Cade Cunningham, Jackson would run the offense. He possesses a great vertical which contributes to his arc on the three-pointers he makes if he has time to set.

Hunter Dickinson 7’2 / 255 C:

A classic center, the game might be going away from players of this ilk, but when the 7’2 center from DeMatha dropped 28 points on Evan Mobley in the pre-season he made a statement. Ranked 37 on the RSCI, the three-star center has great postwork, from the seal to the drop step,  at times not even needing to use the drop step to turn and dunk.

In the pick’n’roll he creates a massive defensive matchup problem, as fouling him his not even an option for he finishes off the play and finishes of the ‘and one’ by making the free-throw. An above-average passer in the middle as the defense is forced to collapse. Expect Dickinson to fill the void left by Jon Teske.
