Tommy Amaker has just finished potentially his most important week since arriving at Michigan. The much maligned basketball coach just landed two Top 50 recruits in Manny Harris and a re-commitment from Alex Legion. This to go with Top 50 recruit, Deshawn Sims, from the 2006 class. More importantly, Amaker is now getting his hands into the fertile recruiting ground of the Detroit Metro area, which is where all 3 recruits are from.
Amaker has struggled recently to land top national talent. Even more perplexing is his inability to pull in area recruits as developing a pipeline to Detroit talent is vital for a school geographically located as Michigan is.
With these three recruits it could provide Amaker the much needed momentum to finish the 2007 class off with a bang and propel the recruiting ball into motion at Michigan with more top commits to follow. Needless to say, the mood has changed significantly in Ann Arbor over the last several months with the announcemt of the two verbals this week.
It finally appears that Amaker's perseverance and focus is beginning to take its toll of putting Michigan basketball back on the map.
Next area of focus should be an upgrade of the current basketball facilities.
