Recruiting

What to watch for: May Evaluation Period

The first live period of the offseason tips off today across the country. College coaches will be on the road evaluating high school players in the only May evaluation weekend in this year’s recruiting calendar. It’s not just the first evaluation period of the season, but the first evaluation period at Michigan for Dusty May and his new staff.

Despite so much attention focused on the transfer portal, NBA Draft Combine, and next year’s rosters, coaches will fan out across the country for major events hosted by the primary shoe circuits. The Nike EYBL will be in Indianapolis, the Under Armour Association in Cincinnati, the Adidas 3SSB in Texas, and the Pro16 League in Wichita.

Here’s what to watch for from Dusty May and his new staff this weekend, along with a rundown of new high school prospects that have popped up on the radar since May and his staff were hired.
