With Dusty May still looking to fill out his staff, a new name has emerged as a potential assistant coach on May's staff and it's an intriguing name as it has connections beyond just coaching.
Georgia basketball assistant Akeem Miskdeen was brought up from those I speak to today and, speaking to those in Georgia circles, it appears there could be mutual interest as well.
Why this could be an intriguing hire for the Wolverines is twofold, you're bringing up a talented assistant coach to help lead the program but you're also bringing in someone with recruiting ties with none more important than his connection with Khani Rooths, former U-M commit who is still on the market.
For those who might not be aware of Rooth's recruitment, he was very close to committing to the Bulldogs because of Miskdeen's presence before committing to the previous staff in Ann Arbor.
While U-M is still under consideration with May, Miskdeen's presence might be enough to reel Rooths back in, which would be a huge win for May.
The Bulldogs are still in the thick of the NIT right now so the hope that more clarity comes through once its tournament run is over.
More when I have it.
