2015 BASKETBALL RECRUITING ISSUE won that. I know he runs a great sys- tem up there." Huerter is also well versed on Beilein's passion for shot makers. "You can see that with Nik Staus- kas, Spike Albrecht and Trey Burke," Huerter said. "Those guys come out of there and they have a bunch of great guys. The Big Ten is one of the best conferences in the U.S., with two teams in the Final Four this year [Wisconsin and Michigan State]. That speaks for itself." Huerter has a pretty good idea of what he is looking for in his future college experience, both on and off the court. He also hasn't completely ruled out the idea of being in the class of 2017 as a post-graduate. "I want to go to a place with a great system that plays my type of game," he said. "I want to be able to go in and participate right away and have a little role on the team my freshman year, whether it is starting or coming off the bench." He'll take visits this summer, and Michigan will very likely be one of them. QUENTIN GOODIN 6-2 • 170 • PG/SG Campbellsville (Ky.) Taylor County Rivals.com No. 61 junior nationally Michigan assistant coach Jeff Meyer watched Goodin April 24-26 at adidas Gauntlet in Indianapolis, a week after Goodin spoke with head coach John Beilein about his status with the Wolverines. Beilein assured him U-M was still recruiting him after offering last summer following the Michigan Elite Camp. Michigan's head coach isn't the only one staying in touch. " I t a l k t o C o a c h [Greg] Paulus at Ohio State, Texas … Louis- ville every now and again, and Minnesota. Michigan, they're start- ing to blow up my phone now," Goodin said. "… They didn't stop recruiting me, but we had a bond and chemistry already where I knew they were recruiting me, knew they were there. They weren't going to blow up my phone and make it overwhelming for me." Goodin has spent the spring try- ing to show coaches how he can not only score the ball, but also distribute and get his teammates involved. "Just reading a defensive guy … whatever he gives me I'll try to take it," he said. "When I'm driving, if they help I'm going to kick it." The hard part of recruiting, mean- while, has begun. Florida, once on him hardest, lost head coach Billy Donovan to the NBA. "Now I'm just trying to see who's recruiting me the hardest, and now it's starting to get hard," he said. "Ohio State is recruiting me really hard. They just haven't offered yet … Louisville offered me after the Camp Bluegrass game in Louisville, and ever since then they've been in contact." Goodin still likes Michigan and will probably take another visit.
