Still holding out they will finally throw some 11’s out there for the public, but doubt it happens. Also wouldn’t mind to see some 1’s a lot like the cleats the players are wearing this season. Just the right balance of maize and blue
Sucks those bottom ones are so damn ugly because Nike’s React midsole is up there with adiboost for most comfortable midsole on the market in my eyes. Leave it to Nike though to fuck it up with an ugly ass pattern, especially for a school with the best color combo in the country
Doubt Harbaugh gets fired but I’d see how things play out with Justin Wilcox at Cal. Also, if Jim stays and Gattis leaves then I’d look at Harrell as an OC from USC
Wife always wants me to give her a list of stuff I want for Christmas. I just tell her anything Michigan, so she proceeded to get me tickets for the OSU game (first game ever for me at The Big House), Jordan Michigan polo, 2 pairs of Michigan socks, Michigan beer bottle koozie, Michigan lunch box, and Michigan pajama pants.
I don’t expect Collins to supplant DPJ for a starter, but I can see them moving DPJ to the slot when Collins comes in on 3 wide sets to set up a mismatch for DPJ and his speed against a weak safety. However, I am a little worried about the OL holding up long enough for the play to develop and Patterson to have time to get a good throw off. I know his mobility will help extend plays, but I’d like him to be able to step up into his throws, especially the ones downfield
Do you think we’ll see DPJ in the slot more this game in order to get matched up with a safety? Saw somewhere that if Nico keeps progressing he can play outside with Black and move DPJ in the slot
Buddy, give it a rest. We all realize you think Favre is a top 5 QB. That’s your opinion. Others are entitled to their opinion as much as you are to yours. Not everyone is going to agree with you
This was going to be my vote as well. Love hearing Beilein talk to the players, especially after games. I bet Moe would be fun to follow behind the scenes and around campus too
I understand the NBA is going more in the direction of bigs who can shoot, but the bigs also have to be able to play in the post, and with their backs to the basket. Moe did it on occasion but not enough to be proficient or consistent with it. Look at players like Davis, Giannis, Aldridge, Porzingis. They all have post games to supplement their outside shooting. What is Moe going to do if he has an off night with his outside shot, or the D plays him tight and takes away his outside looks? He’s not going to make up for it on the block, nor on defense. He sure as hell isnt going to blow by them like they were Nick Ward. Like college football and the NFL, NBA players are much more agile, quicker, and stronger. He’s a good player with possibly room to develop these skills, but he’s better off developing them in the NBA or even the GLeague where he is going against better competition and not 18 year old freshmen. I’m sure GLeague teams develop players and run systems similar to the NBA organizations that own themwhixh will further help him prepare for whatever team drafts him. He’s also no where near strong enough. The NBA is much more physical than college, naturally. He wouldn’t stand a chance against a player like Draymond Green
It’s a fair question to ask. Let me preface this by saying I’m not a scout nor some NBA guru. There are a lot of things that go into a teams assessment of a player I’m sure. I will also preface this and say these are all hypotheticals. First I think you have to look at age. NBA teams will be getting a 21 or 22 year old senior as opposed to a 18 or 19 year old freshman. That’s 3 more years a team can get out of the younger player than Moe. Plus those younger players may be more “moldable” if you will, where as Moe may be to a point where what you see is what you get.You just don’t see a lot of seniors get drafted these days.The only 3 high quality players I can think of are Damian Lillard, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler.
I don’t think Moe coming back would improve his footwork, agility, offensive and defensive post play (seldom plays with his back to the basket which at 6’11” you should have some post up game in the NBA), or shot blocking. I love coach Beilein but his system doesn’t mesh well with what the NBA wants for big men. When was the last time he had a post player get drafted and make noise in the league? The only one I can think is McGary and he’s like a professional bowler now. For a big guy Moe is a good shooter, probably a little inconsistent, but a good shooter. What is he going to do when his defender takes away his outside shot. He’s not going to be guarded by Nick Ward every night. He’ll have to try and get by Giannis, Draymond Green, or Anthony Davis. I just think Moe is better off going to the NBA now to start developing now as opposed to waiting one more year to be pretty much the same player he is now
In sum, Moe is a project this year. He’ll be a project next year if he were to stay. NBA teams take projects in the 2nd round, maybe late first round depending on the team and their needs
I would love to see him come back too but I don’t think he would be in any better shape in the draft next year. Might as well leave now and start making money
If he comes to SA then he will most certainly spend significant time in Austin. Except for Leonard, I think all Spurs rookies have spent a majority of their first year in the G-League. Gasol is getting old and has a horrible contract. Maybe Moe can be his replacement
Hopefully the Spurs, and if goes to their GLeague affiliate it will be Austin. I can watch him in both places. Saw a few projections that had him going to SA late in the first
Going to be strange when Michigan takes the floor next year and hes not there. His three years on the team felt like ten. Same with MAAR and Duncan. Best of luck to Moe though. Hopefully he kicks some ass in the NBA!
Harbaugh almost seemed surprised he actually asked. What on gods green earth would’ve given him any notion he was going back in. He made the Rutgers D look like the Steel Curtain
Could you imagine going from essentially playing in front of college crowds smaller than a high school game to playing in front of 80k and a worldwide televised game? It’s bittersweet to see these kids go. I think I’m going to miss MAAR the most though.

Any idea how much Yak is being considered?
This coaching search is moving about as fast as Warde’s metabolism
Pros: good…

He beat a #4 ranked TCU team that year as well. Two wins far better than anything Harbaugh has done while at Michigan.
