On this week’s Future Brew podcast, Von, Stephen and Jon discuss the most recent addition to the Michigan basketball family — 2022 four-star PF/C commit Tarris Reed. Von spoke with his AAU coach, Anthony Perry, and Perry had something very interesting things to say about Reed’s recruitment and game. He also discussed Juwan Howard and a person, and how that ultimately turned the tide in Michigan’s favor in this recruitment.

Later, we discuss how Michigan football cornerbacks coach Steve Clinkscale could actually be lending a favor to the Michigan State Spartans on the recruiting trail. Not that he is no longer at the University of Kentucky, Clink has not been recruiting the same types of guys, especially in the state of Michigan, which has helped MSU recently on the trail.

On this week’s Future Brew podcast, Von, Jon and Stephen discuss the recent Michigan football de-commitment from 2022 in-state three-star defensive lineman Davonte Miles. Why did this happen, and where should the Wolverines turn to next at the position?

After that, we talk about the...umm...rather interesting recruitment of 2022 three-star linebacker Jeremy Patton and how it ended over the weekend with him surprisingly committing to Baylor. With options beginning to run slim, what’s next for Michigan at the linebacker position in this cycle? Will they get back into the recruitment for three-star Deuce Spurlock, turn to other prospects they have offered, or wait to evaluate other options as senior seasons play out?

We end the podcast discussing the state of Michigan football recruiting compared to some of the other top Big Ten classes in the 2022 cycle.

Anthony Broome runs through a quick Monday episode to chat about Michigan men's basketball's showing at the NBA Draft. Franz Wagner was the program's lone first round pick, heading to the Orlando Magic with the No. 8 overall selection. Isaiah Livers was able to stay home with the Detroit Pistons. to fulfill his professional dreams and was the No. 42 overall pick. Chaundee Brown and Mike Smith have been given opportunities to make an impact in the summer league with the Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks, respectively.

We also take some reader questions addressing Michigan football's recent struggles on the recruiting trail and if people should be concerned (spoiler: they should). What will it take to fix that? Wins and a path forward.
