Spike Albrecht is one of the unlikeliest stories of the past few years in college basketball.
He was a gifted player in high school, but incredibly undersized. No colleges really gave him a serious look when it came to recruiting him. He wasn’t even remotely close to being a highly-touted recruit. When Michigan offered him a scholarship and he accepted, all it seemed like was a late pickup at a needed position, but nothing special.
Few really expected much of Albrecht outside of some bench minutes when the team had big leads or Trey Burke needed a break.
