Michigan basketball: 2024 Justin Pippen sets commitment date
Michigan head basketball coach Dusty May has been all over the place in his first weeks on the job at U-M, living up to his reputation as a “basketball junkie.” He seems intent on putting together a winning team in his first year, and he could be on the verge of landing a nice piece.
Class of 2024 guard Justin Pippen, son of former NBA great Scottie Pippen, will announce his college decision Friday live on On3’s YouTube channel.
Georgia Tech, Stanford, Cal, and Texas A&M are the other schools on his list.
Pippen, out of Chatsworth (Cali.) Sierra Canyon, was a late addition to the weekend visit list but enjoyed his trip, so much so that On3’s Jamie Shaw logged an RPM prediction in Michigan’s favor. Pippen is also the brother of NBA guard Scottie Pippen, Jr.

“Much like his brother, Justin Pippen is a later bloomer,” Shaw wrote in February. “He has always been a good athlete and an aggressive basketball player at the point of attack … however, this high school season he has sprouted up to 6-foot-3.
“The Chatsworth (CA) Sierra Canyon guard has produced some big outputs this season. However, the efficiency and processing are questions. Of the 12 games that Synergy has charted this season, Pippen is averaging 14.8 points while shooting 37.1 percent from the field and 32.4 percent from three. In that span, he is also averaging 5.8 assists with a 3.00 assist-to-turnover while averaging 2.3 steals. The eye test will show you a guard with good size, who is comfortable with the ball in his hands and has no trouble touching the paint.”
Pippen is currently No. 103 in the On3 industry ranking, but rising.
