Mitch McGary - PF - Brewster Academy - Wolfeboro, NH - MICHIGAN

Did anyone else notice he is now #5 in the 2012 class!  Someone loved him.  MCNPA or Moose?

Love his game but SJUFan2 has a man crush on the same level of mine to Lavin

Yeah, I really love mcgary's game but sjufan was first on that bandwagon.  I'd take him over both Anderson and gathers.  He's a scoring big msn which there are very few of.  Kevin love lite. 

I thought of him more as a Tyler Hansbrough. He was non stop motor and dunking all over people.

 What is his relationship with SJU?  Is the staff recruiting him and is he showing interest?

We've never been mentioned really with him.  He is roommates with Sampson.  The only time I ever recall him mentioning STJ was saying on Twitter he was going to watch the STJ/Duke game.

I'd bet on mcGary heading to Kansas when all is said and done.

Indiana native so I would think Hoosiers will get a good shot with him....

By the time its all said and done he could easily be the #1 player in his class. The size and skill to go along with the motor puts him ahead of Drummond imo. I think Lavin must have gotten a vibe that said pursuit would be fruitless, I look for this kid to go with Duke or Kentucky in the end.

Michigan.  Big get for Beilein!

No

I thought we were all speculating.  That's just my prediction.

Not "easily" -  he'd have to climb over Shabazz Mohammad - that ain't gonna be easy.   If you haven't seen Mohammad,  using our kids as a comparison - if you could combine Harrison's offense and leadership with Garrett's defense and athleticism and merge all that into SirDom's body with his intensity, you'd have a player CLOSE to Shabazz...

It looks like he's gonna stay on the West Coast - rumors have him a heavy UCLA lean, still considering Arizona.  UNC, Duke, Kansas & Kentucky are trying hard to get in with him, as is Pitino.  Only reason Steve isn't working him is that we'll be 5 deep with sophmores at his position....

I see McGarry at Notre Dame.

With our extra ship I would go hard after him now.

I agree wholeheartedly.  We do have Jakarr to get in his ear.  I still think he'll head back to the Midwest, but we'll see.

the kid looks like he would love both our system and New York itself.

Let's at least spell his name right. Recruits take that seriously: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/blog/the_dagger/post/UNC-recruit-P-J-Hairston-Duke-couldn-t-spell-?urn=ncaab-wp2870

Would this Indiana kid want to remain out east?

The Terps have been recruiting McGary for awhile, but I think since he bumped up the rankings, we just know Self and Barnes will ramp up recruiting.  On a funny throwback side note, I want McGary to go to UMD because the Terps lead for Shaquille Cleare out of Texas.  I could not help envision a new "Louie and Bowie" show, an "Ernie and Bernie" show, and now a "Shaq and Mac Attack."  Not sure if the new staff can pull it off, but I had to think Gary Williams had a shot with a guy named McGary!
