Although Michigan's 2014 recruiting has not gone completely according to plan with Keita Bates-Diop and Jae'sean Tate committing to Ohio State, there are a multitude of tremendous prospects still on the board. One of the best players in the state for 2014 is point guard Edmond Sumner out of Detroit Country Day. Michigan has not offered him a scholarship at this point, but they have expressed genuine interest in his abilities and could end up offering him sometime soon.
Sumner has a multitude of skills that make him one of the top prospects in the state. Of course, as a point guard, he has good vision of the floor and has the ability to pass at will. His greatest skill, however, is probably his ability to attack the basket. He's not the greatest driver to the basket out there, but when he does drive, he has a knack to find wide open teammates that can either knock down the shot or drive it effectively. Add on the fact he's a tremendous shooter, has a lot of motor, and is an aggressive defender and you have the makings of a very good prospect. He has the ability to play multiple positions on the floor and I really have a feeling that he will move to the 2 spot in the future. One thing that is for certain, he has some room to grow. He will definitely have to get bigger before college. I would also like to see him become a little more consistent on defense and work on his handle, which can be a bit sloppy at times.
