Coaches, including Murphy (he Tweeted) are in Phoenix for the NCAA Final Four. After the coaches return home there will be about a week (April 12) before the beginning of the spring signing period.

There are still a fairly large number of good unsigned MI h.s. players as well as JUCOs and transfers. Good time to have a free scholarship or two...

Some of the best MI h.s. uncommitted seniors are:

Gregory Elliott, Jermaine Jackson Jr., Jack Ballantyne, Eric Williams, Darian Owens-White.

I believe Eric Williams has moved up in the rankings (as did Ellison who committed this past week to EMU).

Owens-White could be D-I or II. I know little about Ballantyne other than he is a solid, mid-major '4' prospect (offered a few days ago by Duquesne) and holds a number of offers.

EMU has plenty of PGs, SGs,and SFs, already. They could use another 4 or 5 though. I say Murphy should only go after a young big unless an elite talent at another position falls in his lap. That or just keep the open schollie.
