MBB Hello: Preferred walk-on PG Andrew Dakich
andrew dakich@daycheck37m
An unbelievable day in Ann Arbor and after speaking with my family about it, I have decided to attend the university of Michigan! Can't Thank all the people who helped influence me on my decision. I just want to win national championships and that's what Michigan is all about ...I am grateful for this opportunity and looking forward to the best 4 years of my life! Go blue!!!!! pic.twitter.com/J5I5eTNqaR
Can't wait until Anthony Wright and Dan Dakich first meeting in person. Awkward.
That family has squinty eyes.
rec. sunglasses or get away from buildings with reflective windows
This is going to be so weird.
Genius move. What better way to get him to shut up about UM?
Highlights here:
If you're going to make a highlight video of a white PG under 6 foot tall, at least use some better music.
Red? please . . . competition orange!
I find the music perfect for what is happening on the court.
nice layups! Welcome, Andrew.
He is class of 2013. Coming in with Irvin, Walton and Donnal.
This is now 2 guys from the AAU team that he coached. I'm sure the fact that he has played and is buddies with Donnal has somthing to do with him committing. Either way Dackich now has 2 guys at UM.
You see that Dan? That's a stop-sign for trolling on national broadcasts.
can't think of a hotter school than Michigan. Welcome to A2 Andrew Dakich.
Dan Dakich is one annoying son of a bitch. At least he'll be on our side for the next four years.
Just a thought here, but maybe we shouldn't be calling the father of a new Michigan basketball player a son of a bitch?
its all about context. cant take shit like that personally. plus, he's been a coach and a commentator. hes pretty used to people being sick of what he says/does.
i bet he doesn't does give two shits.
Whatever some of us personally feel about his Dad, at least for one day let's be grateful that Andrew is now part of the Michigan family and not resurrect baggage from this past season.
I agree, there's no reason to drag his grandma into this. I'm sure she is a very nice lady.
If people don't like Dakich's delivery/attitude, that's one thing. But to say that he has some anti-Michigan bias is ridiculous. He loves Beilein and frequently mentions that Beilein's coaching job at West Virginia is the best he's ever seen. The only time that I can remember him unfairly criticizing Michigan was during the whole GRIII punch incident, which made Dakich look bad (he refused to admit that he was wrong even after the conclusive second camera angle was released.) Other than that, he calls it as he sees it. I like it; I'd rather have my announcers approach each game with a fresh perspective than have them compliment certain players based on past performances. Bob Knight is the best at this because he rarely knows much about the teams that he's watching, so he often sees the players for what they are (in that game) rather than what they are supposed to be.
People flipped their collective shit when Dakich power ranked Michigan below OSU, MSU, and Indiana (maybe Illinois and/or Wisconsin at one point).
Michigan wound up finishing 5th in the conference.
Apparently, people hate commentators that are correct.
However, he also got into a bitchy, hissy-fit with Anthony Wright on Twitter that was very immature. I'd like to think most of the hate is because of that (since it would then be warranted), but most of the hate started when Dakich was critical of Michigan during B10 season, which was totally warranted.
Only 11/13 scholarships spoken for next season. I'd say that means at least 1 year of paying no tuition.
I doubt he'd get a scholarship as a freshman. That's not usually how it works for walk-ons. They usually have to earn a scholarship down the road.
A coach's son is always a good addition. Welcome Andrew.
The team's depth needs to be re-stocked.
Are there no Walton children available to join him on the team? Maybe Lou Holtz has a kid that wants to walk on to the football team?
Answer as quickly as possible. Try not to screen things out, just say whatever first comes into your mind.
Go...
Blue.
Victors...
Valiant.
To Hell...
Umm...wut?
Thanks, son. We'll be in touch.

Yeah, but they were Indiana hookers, so much heavier and more difficult to subdue than Texas hookers on a per capita basis.
That's what they'd like to have you believe, but the CDC's data shows Indiana as the 8th fattest state, Texas around the 11 mark.

So CJ went for volume, DD chose a greater degree of difficulty.
Given that the team seemed to be losing ALL OF THE WALK-ONS this year, I think this great. I hope he's happy with his decision and hope he can push Spike and Derrick. Welcome young Andrew.
Good pickup, at least from the little known about him. I don't undervalue the role these guys play in the program's consistency and resiliency.
I can haz horribly biased play by play?
Good! Never hurts to have guys on the team with connections in the game like this. And if it means that his dad is going to do a 180 and love Michigan to death now, that's a nice bonus.
All your famous children are belong to us.
Can someone please photoshop Timmy Sr's beanie onto Dan Dakich's head? Pretty please?
Now I'm going to feel terribly confused when Dan Dakich says something I strongly dislike because now his son plays for Michigan. I will be really conflicted for the next 4-5 years
They are separate people. We can learn to love Andrew while still thinking Dan is a giant blowhard. Hell, for all we know, Andrew thinks his dad is just as big of a douchebag as most of the Michigan population.
