Michigan a finalist for another top 2019 basketball recruit

Michigan has offered scholarships to five players in the 2019 class and all of them have moved up in the latest recruiting rankings.

The 247sports composite rankings were updated Monday. Jalen Wilson, Michigan's lone 2019 commit, jumped a few spots to No. 31 in the country. With Michigan's other targets experiencing similar bumps, John Beilein is now pursuing two top-25 players and another in the top 50.

Joseph Girard III, a 6-foot guard who became New York's all-time leading scorer as a junior, improved several spots to No. 145. On Saturday, he released his "top six" schools via Twitter.
