In the words of Samuel L. Jackson’s character in Jurassic Park: “Hold onto your butts.”

The Michigan basketball program currently has two commitments in the 2021 class — four-star SG/SF Isaiah Barnes and three-star PF Will Tschetter. Could it have a third by week’s end?

The Wolverines have made a sizable 247Sports Crystal Ball run for Grand Rapids (MI) Christian four-star shooting guard Kobe Bufkin, rated per the 247Sports Composite as the nation’s No. 78 player in the country and third-best player in the state of Michigan. Recruited by assistant Howard Eisley, Bufkin has eight predictions, all anticipating he’ll choose the maize and blue once he makes his decision.

And now we know when that may happen.

On Tuesday, Bufkin announced his top five, his final schools, which includes Michigan, MSU, Ohio State, LSU and DePaul, as well as his decision that he’ll make his pledge on June 10.

Bufkin is 6-foot-4, 175-pounds and would certainly help bolster the Wolverines class as the top-rated 2021 commit to date, should he choose Michigan.
