Juwan Howard and the Michigan basketball coaching staff are on a recruiting roll and added their third commit to the class in three weeks as 2021 Grand Rapids Catholic (MI) SG Kobe Bufkin has committed to Michigan.
Commitment
Scouting Report
Well-rounded, left-handed two guard that is a standout on both ends of the court. Quick hands and quickness on defense and the ability to score off the dribble or as a catch-and-shooter. Uses his length and good athleticism to score at the rack even though he’s not the tallest guard in the world. Solid handles and vision will give him the chance to run as a combo guard when necessary. May take a year or two to really find his groove but he’s another high ceiling prospect for Juwan Howard and the staff to work with.
