Clarkston center Taylor Currie will not be at Michigan after all.

According to his Twitter feed, Currie officially de-committed from Michigan and will now head to Madison to play for the Wisconsin Badgers next season.

Currie said on Twitter after de-commiting from Michigan. “After careful consideration and discussing it with my family, I have decided to de-commit from the University of Michigan and open my recruitment for both the classes of 2018 and 2019. In June, I committed to the University of Michigan because I grew up with a love for the school. However, since my commitment, I have learned more about the recruiting process and what factors should play into a decision. I want to thank Coach (John) Beilein for giving me the opportunity to play at Michigan and for the support throughout this process.”

Currie responded on Twitter about coming to Wisconsin "I'm grateful to announce that I'm a Wisconsin Badger. Thank you Coach Gard (Greg Gard) and Coach Oliver for the opportunity. #OnWisconsin."

Currie was reclassified as a Senior for this season in the summer.

Currie came to Clarkston from Ohio and won a State Championship last season with the Wolves. He will be part of a Clarkston team that is loaded this season with Michigan State bound players Foster Loyer and Thomas Kithier, along with CJ Robinson, Tristen Mysen, and Nick Wells for coach Dan Fife.

Thoughts

This is an interesting decision that Currie de-committed from Michigan but he decided to stay in the Big Ten and go to Wisconsin. The Badgers will be solid next season and for years to come.
