Mikey (Zymicha) Wilkins has been thought to be a Clemson lean heretofore. Visited the Hilltop on 9/8 and NC State before that. ESPN is a bit higher on him than the other services, putting him at ~50 vs the fringes of the top 100. 6'8", 215 pounds, averaged 10.5/7.5 in EYBL play this year. Described himself as a point forward in an interview with Jamie Shaw for on3. Our entire staff was in to watch him play yesterday.

Between Burks, Fielder, Peavy, and McKenna, it is unclear we have solved our situation at the 4. Perhaps, he fits that need.

But there is also Seal, Fort and some whispers that Sorber can even play some PF. I don’t know how this guy serves a need. If he considers himself a point forward I would guess he may be considered the eventual replacement for Peavy. Peavy considers himself a 6'8" guard. Wonder how Wilkins defense is now compared to what Peavy was at his age.

There's no such thing as planning out a depth chart like that. It was never actually a good idea -- we saw that constantly in the JTIII era where one transfer or one person going pro early would drastically hurt the next year. But now, you have to have more redudancy. Cooley has always played a bunch of relatively positionless guys as well.

Tea leaves yesterday seemed to really indicate we're in a strong position with Zymicah. Also, while I'm not plugged into the Jamie Shaw (On3) subscription to read the article, it mentioned G'Town having strong momentum for targets (plural), which I assume means we're still in a strong spot for Trey McKenney.
Anyone have any news on other 2025 targets we're strongly linked with? Wilkins and McKenney seem to be the main two (and maybe only two?) we're seriously on, and the staff is hyper-focused on getting their commitments. While I'm disappointed in last years results, Ed and the staff really seem to be nailing the recruiting side of things when it comes to the high school classes. Of course, we have to get over the finish line with these 2!

But now, you have to have more redudancy. . Well one helps make the transfer era an absolute if one crowds the recruiting of a particular position imo. And Cooley stated to the Hoya donors that his goal is to KEEP twelve. He is not looking to bring in multiple portals every year unless it’s a definite need. He is trying to go with building continuity the old fashion way. Again these are (close) to his words. Anyway as of right now I think the backcourt is in more need of reenforcements.

Now that is a guy I would bring in even if there were already 30 guys on the roster who played his same position. Some players are just that special.

For some reason I thought he was a '26 guy. Definitely a big fish there. Very cool we got him to stop by the campus recently.

There is thought that a decision is coming soon. Also thought is out there that his circle may be leaning on him to stay in state. Other people have intel that we are the lean right now.

I would be absolutely stunned if he goes anywhere other than Michigan. He's spending more time on campus lately than most students.
