this is a silly thought....there is ALWAYS going to be new guards coming in every year....I would hope DDJ is man enough to know that....His main issue, his size and he is just an average shooter. I liked him a lot though, and was even impressed by his defense. I'm guessing that DDJ felt he could be the man, the starter for sure, at another school. He is probably right on that, especially a bit lesser program
No surprise....saw some posts yesterday that once they saw DDJ was transferring, for whatever reason, assumed that Michigan had Aiken in it's hip pocker.....ummm, no.
good list....West Wing to me is an all time top 5 in TV history, the way it was shot, the cast/acting, etc......I loved NYPD Blue in it's prime as well, in terms of dramas.....Comedies- Seinfeld, MASH, Cheers, among others
someday, we may find out that Levert has a break or tear or something relatively serious that kept him from playing basically the whole important Big Ten season - but until I hear that, I remain of the opinion that he refused to play through something some others might have, and help his team this year. I wish I didn't feel that way, but I do. Someday, if proven wrong, I'd happily apologize. I think he was more worried about jeopardizing his NBA status, whatever it may be at this stage. His loss was huge - AGAIN. They truly never had a guy to go to when they absolutely needed a big hoop, or even help get a stop on defense.
...look, I agree right now the Big Man situation for UM isn't responding, and doesn't look good enough to have the inside presence they need for BIG 10 play. But, it is still early in the season, and several of their "key" guys are either injured, or coming back and not all the way back from it, such as Spike and Irvin in particular. The flow of the game in college basketball is and virtually always has been controlled by good quality point guards. Right now, there is no flow with Walton completely out, and Spike not healthy yet to be effective. I'm definitely not saying the big man thing isn't an issue, but as the above guys get back, and get healthier, I do believe the big men will also benefit from it, probably on both sides of the ball. Remember too, that the team had average big men, at best(yep even McGary was just average maybe a tick above most of that season)while both having a great regular season, and then making the run to the championship game just a few years ago. The key is finding big men who can rebound and at least put a body on someone inside defensively. They absolutely can continue to do what they've done recruiting wise and compete. Beilein has done it before, and will again in his way. They need another big man with some presence, no question. I'm also in agreement with those that say DJ Wilson needs more minutes to see what they have.

wow that list is overall terrible...a few good ones, but lots of questions
yes, yes we are. And should be. It's clear he has the most talent.
He doesn't qualify academically, plain and simple. They are saying there was an issue with the transcripts, meaning it don't or won't fly at Michigan.

deceiving stat...most came from the QB in the spread type of offense, Denard Robinson

if he does retire, the only team he could play for if he changes his mind is the Lions this year....unless they trade him
