Best of luck T Will.

Davis Moseley said the other night that TWill is gone (before he declared or enter the portal). Props to him, he's been killing it with info since May was hired.
So you’re saying Dave is moseley accurate?
…
I’ll see myself out
T-Will gave a lot during his time at Michigan. I appreciate his work and effort.
It’s not surprising he is ready to move on. The team he knew is no longer there and he was probably not going to be a good fit in May’s scheme. Best of luck to him. He’ll always have that Tennessee game in the tourney to fondly look back on.
I saw T-Will as a guy that would be Charles Barkley like as a junior/senior. He didn't reach that level but was a good all around player this past year. I can see him being a solid piece on a good team next year.
I do think he would fit well in May's scheme. Shoots well from 3, passes well, multi-talented. However, there is a decent chance that either May or Williams didn't have the same opinion since he waited this long to enter the portal.
Agreed 100% with what you said. He was my favorite player this year, always working hard and doing his best to help the team succeed - offense or defense.
T Will gave his all for the program and the university.
Good luck and do something positive for the world with that M degree young man.
One of the few shining people on this team. He improved big time last year. Good luck to you sir. I’ll always remember the put back T-Will had against Tennessee.
I always liked T-Will. He frustrated the heck out of me these last two years, but he was asked to do more than I think his right role ideally would have been. In 2021 he was the perfect garbage man off the bench for a couple minutes and would hustle, rebound, and play D. He had two very important tip-ins vs LSU in the 2nd round of 2021 when LSU was starting to stretch a lead. In 2022 he had a great game at OSU without Hunter that helped us secure a bid.
Best of luck kid. Degree in hand, B1G champ, played in two tournaments and was one of the few this year whose effort never seemed to wane .
That OSU game without Hunter was a career game! A great performance when the team - and fanbase - needed it most...
One of my sons was born the night/early morning before the game. My wife was able to have some great pictures of us in the hospital and me holding him with the game in the background. I think it was foreshadowing for the next two years in football vs OSU.
Did you name him T. Will Qmatic?
Good luck T Will. Not sure why but there was always a huge gap between fans’ expectations of how good he was versus his actual talent.
He reminded me a lot of Brandon Johns. Forever figuring things out here and never quite putting things together despite some great breakout games here and there.
Yeah great comp.
I was just about to post ironically about how he's been in the portal for ten hours and nobody seems to care. Here I am and you care.
Best of luck to him. He stuck it out through some pretty tough times with a fanbase that never seemed to care much for what he could (or couldn’t) do on the court. Don’t care who you are, that’s tough to deal with.
Hope he can go get a fresh start somewhere else.
TWill will have plenty of options. Coaches love to have someone like him to bring in off their bench. He's good enough to start for most teams at a little lower level. I'm curious what he'll choose
I thought I read somewhere him saying he still may return.
Thanks for your contributions, congratulations on your degree, and good luck on your next step in life.
Wishing the best for TWill. Hopefully his Michigan degree opens some doors for him. Just reread his hello post. (Remember Isaiah Todd? I didn't. Michigan could have used him. Remember Josh Christopher? I barely do. Both of those guys are already out of the NBA and in the G-league. At least TWill has a legacy and a degree.)
I remember Isaiah Todd, Josh Christopher, and Greg Brown. I was wondering the other day if landing any or all of them would have changed the trajectory of the program. My gut says no.
- More exciting team to watch? Probably.
- More wins? Not so sure -- none of them would have stuck around for more than a year anyway.
- More consistency in the program? Can't see it.
Isaiah Todd and Josh Christopher are great early examples of Juwans completely flawed recruiting approach. When pretty much every other power is staying away from these guys, it’s probably for a reason.
I mean 6-7 225 wing, #103 in class. Isn’t that exactly what we say are looking for in the portal/ recruiting here at 〽️? Or am I listening wrong?
Hoping similar recruits have better luck with better development from the stafft?!? At least I think that is the plan.
Good luck TWill- work hard and find a place that’ll coach you up!
The problem with twill is that he ended up having a pretty low ceiling. He didn't develop much after high school. But yes, we want that with a higher upside.
He seemed to be in a funk his junior year where he was just drawn to make the wrong pass or play. I'm glad he stuck around for his senior year (which was much better), but I thought a change of scenery might have helped him get a fresh start.
Good luck, T-Will. Thanks for the Tennessee win :)
Would his credits even transfer to Michigan???? :p
Just when he was starting to cook. Best of luck T-Will!
Better for all sides that he moves on. Hopefully Jace makes the same decision.
Go to KState with Reed. It will be interesting to see what Tang can do with Dug/Reed/TWill.
I appreciate TWill at least hanging around to feel out the new coaching regime. Good luck young man!
I'd love to have you back, but IMO, our NIL money is much better spent elsewhere. Godspeed T-Will.
In the 2022 tournament, Williams had 9 points and 3 rebounds in 14 minutes against Tennessee.
He had two massive put backs with under 4 minutes to go to help Michigan close.
We don't win without him.
The story I read last night when he announced this (On3 maybe?) said he was in the portal but also declaring for the draft, probably to learn what to work on, and also hadn't shut the door on returning to Ann Arbor. It sounds like he's keeping all his options open, determining what he has to work on next season to move to the next level while also trying to maximize his NIL payouts.
Personally, I'd like to see him back. He's that 4th- or 5th-year guy who was always the backbone of the great Beilein teams, the savvy, mature veteran who knows how to make the right play at the right time.
Go get that (checks notes) uhh NIL money I guess.
Nice kid from all accounts and stayed loyal over the years - never really took the leap. A player I could see coaches frustrated with in terms of decision making year after year - that NIT game will live in infamy.
Good luck, I stood behind him in line for a pretzel at the Michigan vs Washington game(2021). He paid attention and got his concessions in a timely manor. I'll always appreciate that.
