Michigan Tuesday: Wilton's Status and a New Basketball Commit

Monday was bad day for a ton of reasons nationally.   With the news of Tom Petty dying it looked like it was just going to be more and more bad news all day.   The bad news train even hit Ann Arbor, with the news of Wilton's injury, "being weeks away from playing" per Jimmy, the details on Nate  Johnson and some recruiting bad news.    As I'm sure you heard, the rumor mill is spinning some type of injury to Wilton's vertebra.


Then we find out why Nate Johnson has been suspended: 


Michigan football player Nate Johnson was arrested over the weekend by campus police following an alleged assault.
Diane Brown, spokesperson for the University of Michigan Division of Public Safety and Security, told MLive on Monday that Johnson, 19, was arrested on campus in the early morning hours of Saturday for an attack on a female student.
Details of the incident were not immediately clear, but the alleged victim was located at a dorm room on campus, Brown said. 
Charging documents specify the incident took place at 600 E. Madison in Ann Arbor, where the South Quad dormitory is located, according to 15th District Court records. 
Johnson and the female victim were in a dating relationship, records says. 
Johnson was arraigned Sunday on one count of misdemeanor domestic violence, which is punishable by 93 days in jail and/or a $500 fine.


To top off the day, long time Michigan commit Emil Ekiyor is now trending strongly to Alabama and it seems a de-commit from the Wolverines is now probable.


Good Thing we got some good news! 


6'5" Brooklyn wing Adrien Nunez committed to the Wolverines 2018 class last night after a visit this past weekend.  Adrien has been blowing up this summer where he started with no offers to the likes of having offers from Boston College, Bowling Green, Brown, Dartmouth, Fordham, La Salle, UMass, Penn, Penn State, Robert Morris, St. Joseph's, Texas A&M, VCU, Wagner, and Yale in a matter of a few weeks.   Michigan offered this weekend and Adrien jumped at the opportunity.  With Yale, Penn and others it looks like academics won't be an issue. 


Nunez is known has a shooter with also some ball handling skills.  He is not ranked anywhere yet but Rivals calls him one of the best shooters in the class.  He might be a little raw at this point, but Coach B can work with a 6'5 wing that can shoot the ball!   Please see UMhoops for more info on Mr. Nunez!


Welcome Adrien!

• 2018 Fla. ATH Shocky Jacques-Louis will officially visit Ann Arbor this weekend.  Shocky is a Tennessee commit.

• Many are predicting basketball visitor this past weekend:  2018 Daytona Beach (Fla.) 4-star PF Colin Castleon might also drop for the Wolverines this week.  He was on the visit with Adrien and sent him "congrats" after his commitment.
