Just days ago, Michigan basketball was looking good for one of its top targets, but the 247Sports Crystal Ball said otherwise.

2020 Lakewood (CA) Mayfair five-star shooting guard Joshua Christopher is a player maize and blue fans have had their eye on since the Wolverines came of interest to him recently. When 247Sports director of basketball scouting Jerry Meyer put in a prediction that Christopher would end up a Wolverine, suddenly, what went from looking like a pipe dream started to look possible, maybe even plausible. [lawrence-related id=20967,20957]

Then, just two days ago, The Michigan Insider’s Sam Webb — who visited Christopher — and Josh Henschke, who indicated he had another source, both put crystal balls in for the 7th-rated player in the country, regardless of position. Since, more prediction a have rolled in in favor of the maize and blue.

Michigan was tied with UCLA with 50% of the predictions just two days ago. Now, with three more coming in for the Wolverines, it’s starting to look inevitable that Christopher will end up in Ann Arbor.

Will he though? Certainly weirder things have happened in recruiting.

One thing that’s not weird? Juwan Howard can flat-out recruit.
