Been following Darius Morris for quite some time now, making sure to keep tabs on how the whole recruiting process was going for the highly regarded senior from Windward. And I honestly thought he was going to commit to Michigan. Turns out, someone ended up being right for a change.

The 6-foot-3 point guard held a news conference of sorts Friday afternoon in Los Angeles and announced he orally committed to play for the Wolverines despite having scholarship offers on the table from programs such as Kentucky, Stanford and USC, to name a few schools that were interested.

‘It came down to picking the school that was showing me the most love and that school was Michigan,’’ Morris said. ‘They have been recruiting me hard for a while now, and that was one of the big reasons I decided on going there for the next four years of my life. I’m ready. I’m excited.’’

‘I took a recruiting trip there earlier this year, and after I saw the campus, I knew it was the place for me. Picking Michigan was a big step for me. Knowing that I have a spot secured at the Division I level is big. It’s a relief. Now, I can focus on bringing back some of the tradition there.’’
