basketball recruiting Arizona, Arizona State, Boise State, Louisville, Loyola Marymount, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oregon State, SMU, St. Mary's, Tulsa and Oregon State are among the others who have shown interest. Bolden will play at Henderson (Nev.) Findlay Prep this year. Finally, Sacramento Capital Christian forward D.J. Wilson (6‑9, No. 150 player in the country) has been versatile enough to play the one through five spots in high school. Michigan coaches have been eyeing him, and he is expected to visit this fall. Wilson was slowed by a sore back last season, but was outstanding in the summer. UCLA, USC, San Diego State, Gonzaga and others have joined Michigan in pursuing him. "D.J. can shoot it, handle it and pass it at 6-9 and is just scratching the surface in his basketball career," LeRohn Dodson, his Team Superstar coach, said. "He is going to surprise a lot of people. He's a great kid and an extremely hard worker who wants to be really good at his craft. "Schools just wanted to see if the back was an issue, and clearly it's not.

"The schools that are recruiting me right now have told me that if I really want to go there, they have a spot for me." Booker plans to take official visits to Michigan, Michigan State, Kentucky and Missouri, but has also said he could pledge at any time on a trip. He grew up in Grand Rapids and has been recruited by U-M the longest. Booker will take part in the Under Armour Elite 24 game Aug. 24. Class Of 2014 Notes • Peegs.com reports that Michigan target Trevon Bluiett (6-5, 185, Rivals.com's No. 46 player nationally) of Indianapolis Park Tudor is down to six schools: Arizona, Butler, Indiana, Michigan, UCLA, Purdue and Xavier.
