Beilein recently picked up his
third pledge in the 2016 class in
Pickerington (Ohio) Central shoot-
ing guard Ibi Watson (6-5, currently
unranked by Rivals.com), and it's
no secret the Wolverines want to
add a point guard from the senior
class, as well.
Huntington (W.Va.) Prep small for-
ward Miles Bridges (6-6, 225, No. 24
senior nationally), a five-star pros-
pect, is the latest evidence that U-M
could make room for two more in
addition to commitments Watson,
Medina (Ohio) High big man Jon
Teske (7-0, No. 104 player nationally)
and Onsted (Mich.) High forward
Austin Davis (6-10, three-star pros-
pect).
Bridges, a Flint, Mich., native,
spent Aug. 3 with his mother on
an unofficial visit to U-M, where
he picked up an offer. He is good
friends with 2016 point guard pri-
ority Cassius Winston (6-0, No. 28
player nationally), who has Michi-
gan and Michigan State among his
leaders.
Kentucky, Michigan State, Michi-
gan, Indiana and North Carolina are
Bridges' final five. He is scheduled to
visit Indiana Aug. 28, Michigan State
