Our weekly look at how Michigan recruiting commitments and targets fared across the country including statistics, videos and photos.

2013 Commits

Zak Irvin

Irvin continues to dominate the Indiana high school basketball scene while posting monster scoring totals game in and game out. Irvin’s Hamilton Southeastern team is now 8-1 on the season and Irvin is leading the way.

The 6-foot-7 wing guard scored 30 points in a 66-59 win over Zionsville, connecting on 11-of-19 field goals (1-7 3pt). The very next day against North Central, Irvin exploded for 33 points on 12-of-19 (2-7 3pt) shooting with four assists and three rebounds. Hamilton Southeastern topped North Central by a final score of 82-77.

Here’s footage of Irvin in action via Go Blue Wolverine:

Mark Donnal

Donnal helped Anthony Wayne to a win over Northview and WNWO TV posted some footage from the game including a couple of Donnal’s baskets on the night.

Donnal added 28 points and 17 rebounds in a 66-30 win over Napoleon on Monday evening.

Derrick Walton

Walton had 17 points and seven assists in a win over Rochester and Kentucky commitment James Young. UM Hoops was in attendance and we posted a game story, interview and scouting video of Walton’s night.

2014 Offers

1qKgrF.AuSt.77[1]Devin Booker

Booker suffered a major injury scare in a 59-52 loss to Harrison Central with a scary knee injury.

Booker went down suddenly in the third quarter with what appeared to be a serious knee injury.

“He was moving around like he was agonized,” Cotton said.

Fortunately for Booker and and the rest of the Tigers, the injury has been determined to be just a knee sprain.

“I talked to his dad today and he said he was up walking and the trainer was coming back (Saturday) to look at it,” Cotton said. “He’s up walking but we’re going to take all precautions.”

Booker had nine points in the loss before the injury and while the injury is just a sprain but could still be a concern going forward. Booker has since Tweeted that the injury is not that that serious.

Trevon Bluiett

Bluiett had 31 points in a 77-35 win over Triton Central, all coming in the first three quarters of the game.

Tate recently committed to Ohio State for basketball but Sam Webb reports that Michigan has now offered him for football as a rush end/linebacker.
