Christian Anderson Jr., who has committed to play
basketball at Michigan, has never abruptly moved up or
down a grade in school -- "reclassifying." as it's known in
youth sports -- and has no plans to do so. He did not
accumulate as many scholarship offers as possible or
publicly announce finalists. He does not attend a basketball
powerhouse and he skipped the premier AAU event this
summer. Though unwilling to play the same recruiting game as many
other high-profile prospects, Anderson has found success
anyway. He not only earned an offer from Juwan Howard,
which he accepted before he'd played his sophomore season
of high school, but a spot on Germany's under-16 national
team. He's currently playing in a FIBA tournament in
Bulgaria.
