<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There's a reason that college basketball coaches are college basketball coaches. Generally, because they have a profound knowledge of the game and the players that play it. Recruiting is a HUGE part of being a successful college coach. All that being said, I'm going to give you 5 examples of some really smart recruiting moves from programs in regards to players from Michigan.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The other day both Iowa State and Eastern Michigan University stopped in at Wayne Memorial. Hat tip to those programs. There's 2 high quality guards to see in that gym right now. <strong>Carlos Medlock Jr</strong>. is a playmaking guard with handles and court savvy. He's an elite finisher at the rim. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1793921' first='Jaylohn' last='Allen']</strong> just got done starring at the PH Michigan Top 250. He's an explosive guard that can score in a variety of ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1811798' first='Alex' last='Beachnau']</strong> was just on a visit with Kalamazoo College and received an offer from them. That's a good move for the program by Coach Giard. We just saw <strong>Beachnau </strong>at the PH Michigan Top 250 and he left the gym with rave reviews. The Portage Central Senior showed that he was a tough above the rim finisher off 2 feet. He's very versatile as well, with the ability to attack from the post and the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coach Fitz at Alma College recently got a commitment from <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1181166' first='Duncan' last='Moffitt']</strong> from Jackson Northwest. The 2024 guard will be a great addition to the program. He has great court vision and sees the action a step ahead. <strong>Moffitt </strong>is a solid 2 way player with plenty of upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1359511' first='Brayden' last='Szamrej']</strong> visited Calvin University and picked up an offer as well. Very good move from Coach Sall. Every program can use a lead guard that can get the ball where it needs to go and keep the defense honest with his jumper. <strong>Szamrej </strong>is a floor stretching senior point guard that will be guiding a very talented Hudsonville team this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1463233' first='Ben' last='Heagle']</strong> received an offer from Albion College after a recent visit. The coaching staff was on point with this offer. He's a talented forward in the class of 2024. <strong>Heagle </strong>has the combination of next level size, strength and athleticism. The Byron Center is a versatile forward that can create defensive difficulties and matchup issues for opponents.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
