'Personal, genuine' approach helps Michigan basketball reel in three-star Will Tschetter

Will Tschetter initially had a different timeline in mind.

The under-the-radar recruit who lives on a farm in southeast Minnesota was going to play in the first two live periods in April before sitting down, sifting through his offers and making his college decision. At least, that was until things started to change.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to the widespread cancellation of AAU events, the NCAA implementing a ban on in-person recruiting, and college coaches relying more on film to evaluate talent. With everybody sidelined through the spring, Tschetter’s coaches identified schools where the high-scoring forward would fit in and started reaching out.
