Justin Pippen, the No. 62 overall recruit in the 2024 class and the son of NBA legend Scottie Pippen, has committed to the Michigan Wolverines, he tells 247Sports.
The 6-foot-3, 180-pound combo guard out of Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon committed to Dusty May live on 247Sports over his other finalists including California, Florida, Stanford and Texas A&M.
“Just the school itself,” he said of why he picked Michigan. “I wanted to become a pro, that’s my goal. Just the resources there, the culture there, it’s a great group of guys, coach is very friendly and it’s in the Big Ten. It’s one of the best conferences in the world so you get to play on the big stage. All of that adds up to me wanting to go to the next level.”
Pippen snuck up to Michigan over the weekend and his time on campus ultimately sold him that Ann Arbor was the place for him to achieve his dreams.
“Everything,” he said of what stood out about his visit. “The campus is beautiful, the coaches are really nice, the players are very friendly just everything really.”
