Grady, who can be a three-level scorer, really embraces the 3-point shot. He could come in right away and become a three-and-D type of player for the Wolverines. There are no predictions placed for where Grady may go, but looking over at the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Oregon has a slight lead with a 29.9% chance of landing the '25 prospect.
Grady spoke with On3 on some teams and here's what he had to say about the Wolverines:
“Michigan is a newer school for me. Coach (Justin) Joyner was on me at Saint Mary’s and that relationship kind of transitioned over. Coach Joyner views me as a three-level scorer and someone who can score the ball really well. I think they’re a program where I can come in and be a shooter and fill in that type of role. I like them a lot.”
Grady has scheduled an official vist to Ann Arbor for August 29.
