Michigan has confirmed that Levert is returning to Ann Arbor. There was a write up on Scout today stating how much KW enjoyed his visit to UNC but his Pops did say he was more than likely gonna take his 3 remaining visits.. Also he cut Kansas fron his list..

With Levert coming back there is a very crowded backcourt situation at Michigan. The player leaving is a F who barely played. I do not see how this necessarily means that Williams is headed to Michigan, but if anyone has the inside word then that is key.

He might not end up at Michigan but he’s not coming here… Source is the fact that he has shown 0 interest in us other than granting 3 the courtesy of an in-home. The fact that he would schedule a visit to UM (Who had an in-home the same day as us) without them even having a scholly open at the time and not schedule one here says a lot. Stranger things have happened but let’s be serious odds are not in our favor

Stranger things have happened but let’s be serious odds are not in our favor Yeah, in total context, there's little reason to be hopeful. I think, though, the fact that a scholarship opened up isn't necessarily definitive. That all said, what's the obsession with Michigan? For someone who wanted to stay close to him and who picked havoc and VCU, it seems an odd choice. I get that Trey Burke was kind of a shooting point that did well, and I respect Beilien as a coach, but Michigan doesn't seem to be anything like VCU in any way.

I do not see how this necessarily means that Williams is headed to Michigan, but if anyone has the inside word then that is key. lavert is 6-7. he can play small forward or guard. he's taller than Trawick and Bowen. Michigan can simply play him at the 3 or go 3 guard lineup which ever you prefer.

He probably wants to just go to the biggest program possible outside this region.

After reading the latest Scout article on him, I'll be shocked if he doesn't end up at UNC.. Chapel Hill is a 2.5 hour ride from Richmond, I'm sure that's local enough.. Oh well, I do wish the staff had gone after him harder over the summer.. More than likely he still would've chosen VCU but it may have paid off now for them..

Wait, you think he's so traumatized by Shaka leaving VCU that he wouldn't want to play in the DMV area because it would remind him of the pain of having to reopen his recruitment? I don't think he's coming to Georgetown, but that ain't the reason.

North Carolina, Michigan, Georgetown, Virginia, Louisville, Kansas and Florida
While I agree he's most likely not coming here, I don't think we should necessarily give up. With Levert back and all the young guards already at Michigan, would seem the Wolverines might not be a great fit. He's taken Kansas off the list. Louisville just brought in Trey Lewis to be the shooting guard for next season. Billy Donovan is blatantly eyeing the NBA and said to be in line for the OKC job, so would think Williams wouldn't want to necessarily sign up for Florida given Shaka just left him at the altar.
That leaves UNC, Georgetown and Virginia. Of those, UNC is clearly the favorite. But, the Tar Heels already have a ton of guards on the roster, including Theo Pinson who's in the class ahead of Williams, and are continuing to recruit higher rated 2015 wings like Brandon Ingram and Jaylen Brown. Looking further down the line, UNC already has a commitment from a top 10 class of 2017 player in SG Jalek Felton. While Virginia clearly has more room now that Justin Anderson has declared for the NBA, Malcolm Brogdon and Marial Shayok are returning veterans who will get the lion's share of 2015-2016 wing minutes. Additionally, Senior Evan Nolte and sophomore Devon Hall are returners who might be ahead of Williams in the playing time pecking order. Plus, the Cavaliers already have a top 50 class of 2016 commitment in SG Kyle Guy.
Given these facts, and given that Williams originally chose VCU because it was close to home and he could see playing time right away, if those factors are still in play, the Hoyas would seem to be in a pretty good position.

I like the sound of that. Make sure you let Kenny know, then add in some stuff about Howard U, The Tombs and the cherry blossoms in springtime for good measure!

Too logical. If he wants to attend Michigan, that's where he'll go, even if it doesn't look like an optimal fit.
