Monte Morris v. Derrick Walton Jr.
- Thread starter MIClone
- Start date
It will be interesting if they do match up on Sunday. They were teammates in AAU, and Walton finished second to Monte in last year's Michigan Mr. Basketball.
I'm interested to see how CFH does the rotation. It could be he will try to take advantage of having senior Kane against freshman Walton.

Monte will be the first one off the bench unless one of our 'bigs' get hurt (hopefully Ejim can play some spot minutes in that case..) You have to know Monte thinks he's is better than Derrick and personally.. I would take Monte. I'm excited to see what he does Sunday.
Also.. has anyone else noticed how Monte can make some of these guys look plain dumb with some of these steals? He averaged a crazy amount of steals in HS if I remember right. Looks like those numbers weren't a fluke he has some crafty hands

Michigan runs up against Mr. Basketball Monte Morris in Sunday showdown at Iowa State | MLive.com
nice little background story here on how the mich offer really went down

Sweet article! Not sure about this though, hah.
"He beefed up by eating McDonald's and worked tirelessly this offseason to adjust to finishing in traffic over bigger defenders."
I'd be curious to know how many schools make scholarship offers with 24 hour ultimatums. That seems sketchy to me and I would do the same as Monte did: feel uncomfortable and not accept it.
My understanding is that after Walton committed, they already had one PG for the class, so they wanted to pursue other recruits for '13. Giving him a choice was probably better than revoking the offer outright. Recruiting is a messy process, and is rarely fair.
Consider it a blessing. Morris will hopefully be the better of the two. If Man Man had committed to Michigan, we probably wouldn't have gotten Walton or another point guard of the caliber that we have now. This makes me happy. Beilein will be angry when Morris lights it up and makes Michigan look stupid on Sunday.
My guess
Long - Walton
Thomas - Stauskas
Kane - Lavert
Hogue - Robinson III
Niang - Horton
Here's my guess:
Kane - Walton
Thomas - Stauskas
Hogue - Lavert
Ejim - Robinson
Niang - Horton
:wideeyed:
Great story. I've been so impressed with Monte thus far; he's gonna be a great 4-year Cyclone
Agreed. He could have the game that Clyburn had last season against BYU. He came in hyped and completely let loose on them.
