As first reported by 247Sports’ Evan Daniels, 2021 five-star forward Paolo Banchero has named his final six schools in his recruitment. Unfortunately, Michigan is not one of them.
The final six schools for the 6-foot-9, 235-pounder from Seattle include Duke, Kentucky, Gonzaga, Washington, Arizona and Tennessee.
For Juwan Howard and the Wolverines, this is 100 percent for the best. With Banchero officially crossing Michigan off his list, this gives Howard and company the opportunity to move immediately to the next target on their list. Even Banchero said as much, and it was apparently a reason he decided to narrow down his list.
