Possible Michigan basketball recruit Mitch McGary could skip college, head to NBA (original) (raw)

Mitch McGary, 6-foot-10, 250-pound center/forward and one of the nations hottest college basketball recruits, could jump straight to the NBA, Peegs.com reports. That possibility is not something he is talking about, however.

McGary recently wrote on his blog for ESPN that he plans to visit the Michigan campus next month and has narrowed his college choices to Michigan, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, Maryland and Florida. He could leap to the NBA, Peegs.com reports, because by the 2012 NBA draft he will be more than a year removed from high school graduation and 20 years old.

McGary, a Chesterton, Ind., native, will play his second season at Brewster Academy in New Hampshire this year.

"To my knowledge, Mitch has not even thought about or contemplated going from Brewster Academy directly to the NBA," Brewster coach Jason Smith said.
