Tommy Amaker may have found his starting center after Hunter played a solid game in that starting role against Wayne State in the Wolverines’ opening exhibition contest. The 6-foot-11 Gary, Ind. native recorded 17 points, 11.3 rebounds and three blocks a game as a senior. He was named the Class 4A MVP in Indiana last year, and was a top 100 selection for the Michigan’s All-America game in 2002.
