Justin Pippen didn’t undergo the traditional recruitment process when he committed to the Michigan men’s basketball team.
The freshman guard didn’t have the Wolverines on his list for very long, and he didn’t slowly narrow teams down until he settled on them. Michigan didn’t have Pippen on its radar for very long. But once Dusty May took the head coaching job on March 23, it took less than a month for the two to commit to each other. Rather than the typical drawn-out process that most high schoolers go through, Pippen’s commitment to the Wolverines was more like speed dating — and there was an instant attraction.
“(May) reached out to my agency first, and then he called me, I talked to him, he was a great dude,” Pippen said on the Defend the Block Podcast Tuesday . “I kind of was open to it. I got to know him. He was great. We got on the Zoom call, and then he had me come out for a visit, and it was great. It felt like home, so just from there, it felt really good for me.”
