Early life

McGary at Brewster, 2011

Mitch McGary was born on June 6, 1992,

junior varsity team as a freshman, while eventual three-time Michigan Wolverines captain Zack Novak was a senior on the varsity team.[9] That year he also was a 6-foot-6-inch (1.98 m), 190-pound (86 kg) freshman tight end on the high school football team, but his father made him quit football as he continued to grow.[10] His local Indiana SPY Players AAU basketball team included future Michigan teammates Max Bielfeldt and Glenn Robinson III, son of Glenn Robinson.[8] McGary joined the varsity basketball team the following season and played two years. McGary is afflicted with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. He eventually transferred to Brewster Academy, a prep school in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, to repeat his junior year because his parents thought the discipline would be good for him.[3] Before transferring to Brewster, McGary was the tallest kid in his school and in the basketball conference that he played in.[8] McGary shoots left-handed.[11]

As late as March 2011, McGary ranked 92nd in the national class of 2012 by Rivals.com.[12] During the LeBron James Skills Academy in July, McGary stood out as the best player in attendance.[13][14][15] He was invited to participate in the 5th annual Nike Global Challenge the following month.[16] Due to an ankle injury he did not participate.[17] However, later that month, he participated in the Boost Mobile Elite 24 event,[18][19] where he shattered a backboard.[20] His other 2011 summer camps included Pittsburgh Jam Fest, the National Basketball Players Association Top 100 camp and the Under Armour Best of the Best Camp, where he was the most valuable player.[19] McGary scheduled his official Michigan visit for the beginning of September.[21] McGary completed his official campus visits to University of Michigan, University of North Carolina, and Duke University,[9] in that order, by October 4.[22] However, due to injuries suffered a few weeks earlier while shattering the backboard, he only played pick-up games at Duke.[20][22] He also made an unofficial visit to Florida prior to these official visits.[17]

His reported best friend,[23] Robinson had committed to Michigan on September 14, 2010.[24] In a press conference broadcast on ESPNU on November 3, 2011, McGary announced his verbal commitment to Michigan over his other two finalist Florida and Duke.[25][26][27] Within hours of the commitment, ESPN ranked Michigan's recruiting class the fifth best in the nation.[28] After several other schools announced their commitments, Michigan, which had been outside the top 25 at the end of October, ranked the number 7 class in the nation, according to ESPN.[29][30] He waited until November 9 to sign his National Letter of Intent so that his parents, who were still living in Indiana, could be present.[2][4] Both of his parents had liked head coach Mike Krzyzewski and had hoped that he would choose Duke.[8] At the time of their November 2011 National Letter of Intent signings, Nik Stauskas, Robinson and McGary gave Michigan a consensus top 10 entering class for its 2012 class.[31]

McGary was technically eligible for the

Division I basketball players, including Florida State commit Aaron Thomas, Xavier commit Semaj Christon, NC State commit T. J. Warren, and JaKarr Sampson.[41][42] JaKarr Sampson earned both the 2012 National Prep Championship MVP and New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) AAA Player of the Year,[39][43]
leaving McGary with a supporting role.

McGary was invited to participate in the four-team All-American Championship along with future teammate Robinson in New Orleans on April 1, 2012.[44] Six days later, McGary represented USA Basketball at the 15th annual Nike Hoops Summit as part of the 2012 USA Junior National Select Team.[45] Following the season, he was named as one of 40 Parade All-Americans.[46]

During his senior season, scouts became aware that McGary was less polished offensively than he had appeared. By January, his ranking had been reduced from number 2 overall to about number 20.[47] He eventually settled between 26th and 30th by Scout.com, ESPN and Rivals.com in the final class of 2012 overall rankings.

In the third game of the season and the third of his career, McGary posted a game-high 9

AP Poll with 51 of the 65 first place votes.[63] It marked the first time Michigan ranked atop the AP Poll since the Fab Five 1992–93 team did so on December 5, 1992.[64]

McGary played a career-high 29 minutes, tallying then career highs of 14 points and 4 steals, along with 6 rebounds, on February 5 in an

2013 Big Ten Conference men's basketball tournament against Penn State, McGary posted his second career double-double, reaching 10 points and 10 rebounds in the first half, but only adding one more rebound in the second half.[70][71]

Prior to the Final Four, McGary stated that he would not enter the 2013 NBA draft,[94] but a few days later said he had been caught off guard and would prefer to respond after he has time to reflect on his season.[95] On April 9 before boarding the airplane to return from the NCAA Final Four, Beilein met with Burke, Hardaway, Robinson and McGary to direct them to seek the advice of the NBA advisory committee. The draft board has until April 15 to develop each individual report and the players have until April 28 to enter the draft.[96] On April 12, ESPN journalist Myron Medcalf described McGary's likelihood of entering the draft as "borderline," noting that his NCAA tournament performance may have given him a sudden chance to be a lottery selection.[97] Several sources regarded him as a likely first round draft choice in the NBA Draft,[5][98] so there was much speculation about him entering his name into the draft. On April 18, he and Robinson held a joint press conference to announce that they would not enter the draft.[99] This came after Burke and Hardaway entered the draft on the 14th[100][101] and 17th,[102] respectively.
