Though the Wolverines still won’t know who’s coming and going for next year and how much room they’ll have, Howard and his staff are working on the 2024 group. He recently offered two more juniors.
The breakdown:
Michigan commitment Christian Anderson
Atlanta Lovett star Christian Anderson is on fire. He recently made the Atlanta Tipoff Point midseason team, the only sophomore to make the squad.
He’s continually putting up huge numbers against great competition.
The 5-8 point guard recently scored his 1,000th career point, a week after having one of the best shooting games of his young career.
Michigan class of 2024 offer Jon Bol
Bol, a slender but talented 7-2 center, is emerging on both ends.
“This past year while playing with Brad Beal Elite, Bol quickly showed his tremendous upside. Even with his great height as well as his superior length, there is a lot more to like about his ability on the court. Bol is a mobile big man with good agility moving very well for his size. He plays with tremendous energy getting up and down the floor as well to battling on the defensive end.
“The sophomore is an active and aggressive paint defender that does not give up anything easy inside. Already a very good rim protector, he has all the tools to be an elite shot blocker. Offensively, Bol has a good ability to finish everything around the basket as his scoring ability continues to take large strides forward.”
Small forward Trentyn Flowers
From On3.com’s Jamie Shaw a few weeks back on the Michigan offer:
“Trentyn Flowers has blown up. One of the top wings in the 2024 class has gotten bigger and stronger over the past year. That development has shown on the court.
“I shoot the ball well, and I’m a good passer,” Flowers told On3 Sports. “I can defend one through five, handle the ball, get to the rack, and I am very athletic. Every part of the game I do pretty well; it is just about fine-tuning it. I’ve grown about three or four inches over the last year and have gotten way more athletic, which has helped me on the defensive end. I hear I play like a combination of Penny Hardaway, Jayson Tatum, and Kevin Durant, so really, I just play like myself. I try to take pieces from everyone, though, and put it into my game.”
The 6-foot-7 sophomore started the season at Huntington (W.V.) Prep and transferred to Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon in early January. Coaches have taken notice as well. Trentyn Flowers spoke exclusively with On3 Sports about his recruitment.
“I hear from Xavier, Cincinnati, Memphis, Kansas, Georgetown – that’s family right there – we hear from a lot of schools. Southern Cal and Tennessee recently offered. I have visited Georgetown, Xavier, and Cincinnati. I am going to try and go see UNC soon, LSU maybe too, they just offered.”
And now he has an offer from Michigan.
