Glad that we had Eli around for 5 years...Definitely took a bit of time for him to find his game, but once he did, these last two years in particular, he was really a leader for Michigan.
Good Luck Eli!

He gave it his all and became a key performer over the last two years.
I wish him the best in his career and suspect his days in Ann Arbor may not yet be over.

I have a sense that we will hear more from Eli in the coming years. May get to play some pro ball overseas, but I expect his careeer will take him through increasingly higher profile leadership positions, whether it is on a basketball court or off. To echo what others have said, one of my favorite U of M players ever.

Sad to see Brooks go. Really the last significant peice from the Beilein era. Don't let his looks fool ya, he was one tough player for Michigan. Played in alot of big games!

Mr. Eli Brooks is a Michigan Man, through and through. I hope he sticks around the team somehow, someway.

Was a pleasure to watch Eli play for Michigan these past 5 years. Sweet 16 or better appearances every year. Big10 Champ. He went out strong the second half. Thanks for staying and giving it your all Eli !! Best of luck, continued success, and God speed Eli. A true champ and great Michigan Wolverine in my book.
Hail and thank you, Eli. Go Blue!
Gonna miss you Eli! Hard to overstate what he has meant to us. Consistent outside shooting, offense creation, surprisingly great defense from the plucky undersized kid. I feel very strongly that his coming back this year likely was the difference between missing the tournament altogether and the surprisingly successful campaign we ended up with. G league, overseas, non sports, hell I can't fully rule out an NBA stint with his work ethic- I'm sure he'll be great wherever he goes.
plucky says it all. He is a great competitor, leader, and work ethic. He should hold his head high tonight and if he buys a beer inside of Ann Arbor city limit again, I would be surprised.
Thanks for everything Eli!!
Thanks for the memories 3li!

A true warrior, great attitude, not scared to take the shot, pretty good defense AND most of all a…
WINNER!!!
I think he can play and make good money in Europe for many years if he wants. He will be missed!!!!
