Feel free to add or correct.

I'm going through a subscription MI recruiting service and looking at their 2016 rankings.

Turner seems to go B1G or equivalent (based on his ranking, one of the top recruits of the 2016 class).

Groce is possible as a mid-major plus or possibly B1G recruit. He is very highly rated.

Hayes seems to be a MAC-level recruit.

Martin seems hard to peg. I believe he has talent but doesn't seem tall enough to play in the front court. Also plays FB, I think I read.

One reason I don't go much into recruiting years in advance is that most schools will make offers to kids they have NO chance to get. I remember when EMU was recruiting the kid from Ypsi (Jaylen Johnson) who went to Louisville. It was nice, but quite frankly I think Spike Albrecht had a better chance to get a verbal commit from Kate Upton (following his Tweet to her after the NC game) than us to get a commit from a kid sitting on an offer from L'ville. The best a school can hope is that IF the kid decides to transfer that he will give a school like EMU another look.

BTW, talk about sitting: Jaylen is sitting at L'ville. And I just read in the Blue Ribbon Yearbook that he got cleared in late August by the NCAA and was unable to do summer practices. Way behind. He's sitting at L'ville: 80 minutes of playing time this year.

Kids have real choices to make based on playing time and their academic fit to a school.

Groce has about 20 offers. That will be a hard one for EMU to get.

One service has both Turner and Groce in their top half dozen.

That means both will probably have multiple high major offers.
