BASKETBALL RECRUITING "The kid has been out of sight all season," Cornerstone head coach Derrick Edwards told The Detroit News. "He's been the player we've leaned on offensively, and now he's stepping up defensively. He's our MVP." Cain was strong on both ends of the floor in the overtime session to secure the win. The junior camped at Michigan over the summer and played well with his team, but he's taken his game to another level. He's a good student and a high-character kid with a great family and support sys- tem that is only going to get better as he gets stronger, MichiganPreps. com's Branden Hunter noted. "He's versatile and athletic," Hunter said. "You can compare his game to former Michigan native Josh Jackson's [Rivals.com's No. 1 player in the class of 2017] game [in style]. He has the size and skill set to play either shooting guard or small for- ward. "Jackson has that ability to make others better, something Cain is still learning, but offensively he is a much improved shooter catching the ball and finishes at the rim strong." Michigan watched Cain this sum- mer, and his stock has continued to rise dramatically. Head coach John Beilein was in Pontiac Feb. 19 to watch him play, but Xavier seems to have an "in." Current Musketeers Jalen Reynolds and Edmond Sumner are both from Michigan, and Cain visited the Cincinnati-based school in early March. Cain is working on setting up visits in the upcoming months. He likely won't make a commitment until sometime during his senior year. ❏ Daily Team Coverage Go behind the scenes with exclusive coverage on the Wolverines throughout the season.
