Isaiah Todd backs off Michigan commitment, will explore professional options

The hits keep coming for Juwan Howard and the Michigan basketball program.

And more importantly, John Calipari and the Kentucky coaching staff have proven yet again they know what they’re doing on the recruiting trail.

Just 12 hours after missing out on the commitment of 2020 top-ten prospect Josh Christopher – a former Kentucky target – last night, Michigan has now lost its top basketball commitment in Isaiah Todd.

Todd, a five-star forward and top-15 overall prospect, has officially backed off his commitment to the Wolverines and will explore his professional options.

“This was a tough decision for him, but he just feels like this is what’s best for him and his development,” Todd’s mother Marlene Venable told Jason Jordan of Sports Illustrated.
