Michigan takes on Ohio State today in Ann Arbor (1 p.m., CBS). While Michigan is looking to get back on track on the hardwood, they’ll also be host to several big-time basketball recruits.
Two of Michigan’s top targets remaining in the 2016 class, Cassius Winston and Seth Towns, are expected to be at the game. Winston, a five-star PG, has been to Ann Arbor several times (but according to 247Sports’ Steve Lorenz Winston won’t be visiting). Meanwhile, Michigan reportedly is the team to beat for Towns.
Due to the snow, two top-flight recruits were unable to make the trip. The No. 1 overall recruit in 2015, Jaylen Brown, was expected to visit. The SG, however, will reschedule and visit on another date. Five-star SG Tyus Battle and his father were snowed-in and couldn’t make it out of New Jersey.
Five-star and the top in-state 2017 recruit, Brian Bowen, will be at the game.
