Portal Hello: Roddy Gayle

Dusty May was already off to a hot start with respect to portal acquisitions and it has now reached full inferno levels, as former Ohio State guard/wing Roddy Gayle pledged to Michigan on Monday. Don't need much of an introduction here, as Wolverine hoop fans are undoubtedly familiar with Roddy's game and the positive impact he's bringing to Ann Arbor. SCOUTING (Offense) First and foremost, Gayle is a guy that attacks the rim and finishes well once he gets there. He takes 43% of his shot attempts at the rim and puts up 1.21pps, good for 65th percentile in the nation per Synergy. Only 33.7% of the rim makes are assisted per Torvik. In short, he's creating 2/3 of his rim attempts and converting at a high rate for a perimeter player. From an evaluation perspective, Roddy gets good elevation, particularly off two feet, and simply finishes over and through opposing players with some regularity. Gayle also has great body control and contorts his body to avoid shotblocking/contact when there is seemingly nothing there. What makes this really impressive is that he's so adept at finishing with his left hand. Continuing with the theme of attacking the paint, Roddy has a superb floater game. His touch is impeccable when going off one or two legs.While floaters are generally inefficient shots for non-NBA guards, Gayle is the exception to the rule. Checking in at 88th percentile in terms of runner attempts per Synergy, Roddy is 80th percentile in converting such attempts (.96pps). With that combination of elite volume + elite conversion, its safe to say he has one of the premier floater games in all of college basketball. [After THE JUMP: secondary playmaking, iffy shooting and a solid defender?]

Sam Webb Interview With MBB Assistant Mike Boynton

Fascinating (and long) interview this morning on WTKA with Sam Webb and Mike Boynton, the former Oklahoma State head coach who Dusty May hired as an assistant. If you're feeling good about the direction of our basketball program, you're going to feel even better after listening to this guy.

Portal Hello: Tre Donaldson

Michigan landed its floor general over the weekend when former Auburn guard Rhodney "Tre" Donaldson announced his transfer to Michigan on Sunday. I'm relatively familiar with Donaldson, having scouted him extensively at the HS level and watching multiple games of the Auburn Tigers over the last two seasons. Tre is much different than the typical point guards that have played in Ann Arbor and I think he'll become a fan favorite, in part, because of his propensity for highlight reel plays in the open court. SCOUTING (Offense) Tre's most enticing skill is the ability to hit pull-ups from distance. In a B10 conference that has a plethora of relatively slow-footed bigs that like to play drop coverage, this is a real weapon to counter that approach. When you have off-the-dribble (OTD) shotmaking that extends beyond the arc, it puts opposing coaches in real conflict. Show high with your big and risk a numbers disadvantage on the backend or take your chances giving up a triple. Donaldson is a tough shotmaker in general, and the pull-up prowess isn't limited to those occasions when opposing guards go under screens/opposing bigs play drop coverage. He routinely hits contested midrange pull-ups as seen below. Tre decelerates + maintains balance pretty well, and he's able to square up and get real elevation on his jumper. While he's not an elite OTD shooter, Donaldson did check-in at 51st percentile nationally on pull-up jumpers..........but on really high volume at 86th percentile in attempts. Given that volume and what I see on film in terms of body control/balance, the pull-up shooting should translate well in my opinion. For me, playmaking for others is the most undervalued facet of Tre's game. He's not necessarily the typical ballscreen shot-creator for teammates that we're accustomed to (in part because of the Auburn offensive structure), but the pass placement/execution is really impressive. Donaldson routinely fits precision passes in tight-windows. The ball placement isn't where teammates are currently at, but rather where they need to be in order to finish the play. And while we don't see a ton of Tre hitting roll-men in PnR, the efficiency in the ballscreen game is absolutely there. Donaldson generated .99ppp in PnR possessions including passes, good for 78th percentile in the country with 89th percentile volume on such possessions. Additionally, the 28.3 assist rate this season also lends credence to the playmaking prowess. [After THE JUMP: great finisher and above 40% from three? Sign me up.]

Portal Hello: Danny Wolf

Dusty May continued his portal invasion on Saturday, when Yale transfer Danny Wolf pledged to the Wolverines. Much like Rubin Jones, Yale is scant on legit competition, so I reviewed full game film against their very best opponents in Kansas, Auburn and San Diego State. SCOUTING (Offense) The most projectable facet of Wolf's game is undoubtedly playmaking. He's a superb passer for a big and has the look of an offensive engine in a Delay-centric offense as the trigger-man. A 21.8 assist rate versus top-50 opponents (Torvik) is bonkers considering the talent he is surrounded with. With respect to Hunter Dickinson, Danny may very well be the most naturally talented passer/playmaking big (distinct from productive) that has come through Ann Arbor in quite some time. Hunter was phenomenal passing from the post and the top of the key, but he simply wasn't capable of dropping dimes from a live dribble like we see below: That is legit guard-esque playmaking that isn't just good for the position, it's just downright excellence. The playmaking from the post/passing out of doubles is lethal as well. Wolf's processing time is very fast. He literally finds teammates at the precise moment the opposition commits to a legit double rather than simple stunts. That optimizes passing windows and totally manipulates the defense as we see below: Danny's ability to excel as a trigger man in structured offense pops-off too. Yale is running Zoom action below (guard entry pass to Wolf at the slot>then corner screen for other guard>DHO to guard receiving the screen). #3 for Yale isn't coming off the screen clean enough for Wolf's liking, so he waits to read the defense. Look at the placement + touch on that pass. In football terms, he's throwing the receiver open. [After THE JUMP: the full scouting report]

Spring Football Game - The OffenseStarts at 1:00Brian has survived a science Olympiad and is ready to talk about the spring game. The number of takes we have are minimal, nobody really popped off. The offensive line wasn’t playing as a group and a couple starters didn’t play so it’s hard to project them. Kirk Campbell has said that they’re not looking for a quarterback in the portal. Alex Orji’s game would be to run a lot and he can’t do that in a spring game where you can’t tackle the quarterback. Denegal and Jadyn Davis aren’t ready for this offense, so it’ll be either Orji, Tuttle, or Warren starting. Maybe Michigan is creating a read option offense but isn’t putting it on film? Brian wants Orji to start but thinks it'll be Warren. Marlin Klein showed off a bit of what they were talking about. Gentry was either blowing a guy up or not knowing who to block so right tackle might be a problem spot. The running backs all looked great throughout the depth. All the snaps for Max Bredeson. Craig is banging the drum about Raheem Anderson. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]

Portal In: Roddy Gayle Jr.

Michigan Basketball can field a team again! As expected, SG Roddy Gayle has become the third transfer, and fourth commitment to Dusty May since Friday. This time it's also at the expense of a rival. Like Tony Alford says, if you won't ever beat them again, join 'em.BREAKING: Ohio State transfer guard Roddy Gayle Jr. has committed to Michigan, he tells @On3sports. The 6-4 sophomore averaged 13.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game this season. https://t.co/jrLBfPCMqT pic.twitter.com/oWoImRco6D— Joe Tipton (@TiptonEdits) April 22, 2024 Like some of the other guards that May has picked up, Gayle profiles as an efficient creator with good size, good defense, and an elevated turnover rate that will hopefully come down when playing with a lot of other guys who can generate their own offense. Unlike the others, Gayle gets to the foul line a ton.He was also part of a team-wide run of bad luck on threes that got Chris Holtmann fired on Valentine's Day before reversing itself in time to get Jake Diebler assistant hired. That improvement didn't include Gayle, who shot 29% (23/78) behind the arc before February 14th and 24% (6/25) afterwards. Add his 43% (21/49) from his freshman year to get a 33% (50/152) career shooter thus far. Before that Gayle was a top-50 prospect whom 247's Jerry Meyer compared to Josh Christopher.Has a college ready body with good length (long arms) and great strength. Is a powerful athlete who thrives in traffic. Handles contact extremely well and loves to dish out the contact. Shoots the ball well off the catch with an efficient and smooth low release. Also scores with pull up jumpers where he elevates and can also score at the rim. Most notably, he has a niche as a potent post up player. Ball handling is solid and efficient. Has the ability to deliver to the open man. Rebounds his position quite well and can ignite the fast break. Has potential to be a formidable and versatile defender. Overall has a well rounded game that impacts a game in virtually all facets.Like we said on the pod, he should be a useful Big Ten starter with a lot of upside if his shooting returns to form. Matt D will have a more detailed scouting report in a few days (I'm holding off his Jones Hello for this).The roster, with unannounced predictions in brackets:PG: Tre Donaldson (Jr), Durral Brooks (Fr), [Lorenzo Cason (Fr)]SG: Roddy Gayle (Jr), George Washington III (So), Justin Pippen (Fr)Also SG: Rubin Jones (Sr), [Nimari Burnett (Jr)], [Jace Howard (Sr)]PF: Will Tschetter (Jr)C: [Vlad Goldin(Sr)], Danny Wolf (Jr)May still needs to add a power forward and could theoretically push Jones to 6th man if they can find another impact guard.
