Michigan Basketball: Commitment, Signee Updates
How Michigan's three, class of 2017 signees and class of 2018 pledge David DeJulius have fared over the last week.
Poole made two of his five triples, including a 23-foot runaway, and scored 11 points in a nationally televised loss to No. 10 Sierra Canyon Jan. 16. The No. 10 Trailblazers from Chatsworth, Calif., defeated No. 1 La Lumiere 76-74 in the Spalding Hoophall Classic in Springfield, Mass.
Poole is now averaging 14.6 points per game for the 16-1 Lakers.
Livers scored 20 points and pulled down 15 rebounds in a 76-43 win over Richland Gull Lake Jan. 13 and followed up with 22 points and 10 rebounds in a 73-63 loss to Detroit East English Village at the Floyd Mayweather Classic in Grand Rapids, Mich. a night later.
He is now averaging 19.8 points and 15.3 rebounds per game for Central, the No. 8 team Michigan's Class A.
Brooks scored 36 points in a 65-54 win over South Western Jan. 13, going 10-for-12 from the line and making four triples. He notched 26 in a 75-45 loss to Carlisle Jan. 16. He scored nine of his team's 11 points in the first quarter and another 10 in the third, but it wasn't enough.
“We’re going to up and down. That’s just the way it is," Brooks' dad and coach, James Brooks, told GameTimePa.com. "We are going to look like a million bucks sometimes and look like a used Pinto sometimes. We just have to stay the course, of not getting too high or too low.”
Brooks is now averaging 29.4 points per game for 9-4 Spring Grove.
DeJulius was held to a season-low 10 points in a loss to Detroit Osborn Friday, Jan. 13 before rebounding to score 28 in a 73-63 win over Kalamazoo Central a night later.
He notched 20 points and seven assists in a 71-57 win over Detroit King Jan. 17 and is now averaging 27.8 points per game for 8-1 East English Village.
One of his assists was an alley-oop to teammate Greg Elliott.
"We know that we've got to be on one page for us to be successful so its a must for us to have a bond [on the court]," DeJulius told mlive.com. "We're just two unselfish people capable of scoring the ball."
