Just about a week ago, Michigan started trending on the 247Sports Crystal Ball for 2020 Bellflower (CA) Mayfair five-star shooting guard Joshua Christopher, when two of the experts from The Michigan Insider input their selections for the Wolverines.
At the time, that made Michigan 50-50 with nearby UCLA still holding its own. That number started growing when more 247Sports Crystal Balls came in for Christopher, including from Steve Lorenz.
A week later, the Bruins don’t even look to be in the picture, as all 11 predictions now have Christopher heading to Ann Arbor.
That said, it looks like Michigan very well could be pulling in its second five-star in the 2020 class in Juwan Howard’s first year as head coach.

Michigan is also in the running for yet another five-star, in Austin (TX) Vandegrift powerf forward Greg Brown, who visited Ann Arbor just over a week ago, for the win over Michigan State.
The Wolverines will need some attrition, however, even with where the class already stands, as Zeb Jackson, Terrance Williams, Jace Howard, Isaiah Todd and Hunter Dickinson are already committed to join the maize and blue in 2020.
As for Christopher, it’s now looking more like when rather than if. The matter will come down to just when exactly he decides to pull the trigger.
Along with UCLA and Michigan, Christopher is also considering Arizona State and Mizzou.
