The Michigan Wolverines landed their first recruit of the 2017 class when top shooting guard Jordan Poole announced his commitment Friday, according to Brian Snow of Scout.com.
Poole is the 92nd-ranked player in the 2017 class and a 4-star prospect, according to 247Sports. He chose Michigan over the Illinois Fighting Illini and Marquette Golden Eagles, per Snow.
As a sophomore last year, Poole averaged 14.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game while shooting 40 percent from beyond the arc, according to WisSports.net.
The Wolverines will need a shooting guard after Zak Irvin graduates, and head coach John Beilein’s scheme is one Poole should thrive in, as his high school coach, Jim Gosz, told Brendan F.
