And we are back, folks here on the Michigan Insider, on the Big 1050 WTKA online at the big 1050.com.

So I'm going to talk a little basketball because we have been running so much in the way of football

and all of the programming that we have, haven't been able to get to the recruiting round to talk

about the latest commitment to the 2026 class, a young man by the name of Malachi Brown, who committed a couple of days ago.

Now, this is a, as our Eric Bossy said over on 24-7 sports, one of the cooler recruiting

stories that you'll hear about because there's there's under the radar and then there's

Malachi Brown because he was he was not just an under the radar guy he is the definition of a

you know a late bloomer senior eval kind of guy, guy who stock rose up here in the final, sort of the final phase of his high school recruitment.

So it started, according to, according to Eric, it started in the summer where he was really turning heads on the Adidas 3SB tour.

And coincidentally, it wasn't just, you know, it wasn't just our scouts who had started talking them up to some other schools.

Dusty was already aware of him too in his travels, kind of watching other guys, staff kind of watching other guys.

And this was a name that when the fever,

I guess fever is the wrong word,

when the buzz started going around and the buzz created by,

by scout.
