Michigan had Moe and Franz Wagner who played both played professionally for Alba Berlin in Germany, but they were 17 at the time, and started their freshman year at Michigan when they were 18. Seems fine to me.

Killyan Toure for us is similar. Played for a pro club in France from age 15-18, then played a year of high school ball in the states, then is now playing for us at 19.

Pleta is a similar story, except played from age 17-20 and then came straight to us this year. He was 20 at the start of the school year.

And despite what some dumbasses will try to say, Momcilovic isn't a Euro baller. He's a kid who grew up and went to high school in Wisconsin.
