What they’re saying

“With Michigan, actually my cousin goes there, Nimari Burnett, and it was fun up there. Like the big house, man, they play Oregon. And that was when Oregon was like the number one team in the country. So that game was crazy. And, you know, it really gets cold out there. It's kind of like home, like in Chicago, you know, it gets cold. But I like his system. I like the way he just lets his guys hoop. If you can do what you can do, if you can do certain things, you can do it. He's not gonna ever hold you back in a way. So he just lets you hoop and it's not a leash when he plays.”

“I feel like with me is kind of like I'll get a bucket, but I always look around for my teammates. I'll just look for the best shot on the court. I like to get my teammates involved, but I feel like my shooting stands out more than anything with me and I can get to the basket with either hand. I can finish with either hand and my defense is improving by the day. So I feel like that's my game right there.”

What’s next

The judge in the case will decide on Tuesday whether or not to allow Walker Reed Quinn out on bail.

The takeaway

Landing top-30 recruit Devin Cleveland for an unofficial visit is a big opportunity for Michigan to showcase their program and potentially secure a commitment from the talented shooting guard. Cleveland's strong relationship with current Wolverine Nimari Burnett could give Michigan an edge in his recruitment.
