Eli Brooks, a point/shooting guard out of Spring Grove, Pennsylvania, is already earning the praise before even playing a game with the Maize and Blue. Brooks, a former three-star, could earn a staring job this fall according to CBS’ Jon Rothstein.
Palpable Buzz at Michigan surrounding freshman Eli Brooks. Has big time potential. Will be in the mix to start for Wolverines. Talented.

On fellow freshman Isaiah Livers:
The guy who could be the ultimate wildcard for Michigan? Isaiah Livers. 6-7 F needs to give Michigan mileage off the bench. Critical piece.
