Five-star forward Isaiah Todd was committed to Michigan for about six months before announcing that he was decommitting from the Wolverines. Now, Todd is preparing for a pre-NBA career in the G-League.
Five-star forward Greg Brown, who also had U-M as a finalist, is set to make his decision next week and is reportedly strongly considering a season in the G-League as well.
G-League talks heated up when five-star guard Jalen Green announced the he'd spent a year in the developmental league and would be inking a $500,000 deal with an opportunity for more with deals and incentives. Whatever you think is going on in the world of college basketball, it's not that lucrative.
