Matt, my 10 year old son (aspiring hooper) and I read all of your player breakdowns together, it really helps him understand what is valued in basketball and to understand the more intricate parts of the game. You have us both really excited for Michigan basketball again. Thank you for joining MGoBlog and for all your hard work!!!
When are kids going to realize that NLI are not required to be signed in order to receive a scholarship, it is a one sided contract. Just sign the scholarship agreement and the athlete has all the leverage.
You should read about the thousands of veterans who no longer suffer from PTSD due to controlled dosages of MDMA from doctors. I don't think they are trying to justify using the substances, there are legitimate medical studies on the benefits of many different substances and their healing properties as it pertains to mental health. Interesting stuff.
Dang they snap in basketball now? That's new I guess...I did not assume, they typed it on there buddy, not gloating either, simply pointing out what the university put on their announcement since it might be relevant to what Brian and everyone here has been discussing. You don't think Dusty is detail oriented to the point of intentionally listing Wolf as a forward apparently, everything he has done so far tells me he is very intentional about what he does. Seems like the listing in itself is kind of evidence since the Michigan basketball program itself created and posted it. I have no dog in this fight, just thought it was interesting that it said forward and not center since everyone has been adamant that he Wolf will be exclusively a center, have a good Friday homeskillet.
Or it could be intentional and accurate, sorry tater tot....wtf is the point of your response exactly? I read words on things because that is what those things say.
Pretty rare, both from such a small town, always thought it was cool. Had the pleasure of being coached by Adam's dad at Olivet's camp 3 years back in the day, awesome guy and amazing advocate for the sport. Met Adam at the MWA Coach's Clinic one year, he spoke about his world championship and was kind enough to personalize an autograph for my son. His dad spoke after him and said something that has always resonated with me as a coach, "Wrestling is a father-son sport, but also a fatherless son sport." It could not be more true, kids without their fathers really gravitate to the sport and the level of discipline and structure it provides them, and as coaches we cannot fail those kids. Awesome family!
Juwan himself said he should have been shaking more hands and attending more events, May was talking to donors immediately after his introductory press conference.
Sounds like Rooths has re-opened his recruitment, I'm hoping for Power over the other Duke PF due to his shooting ability but don't know if he is visiting. Rob has been pretty informed, anyone got updates? I'm guessing McNeeley is a no go...
Excellent, I'm excited to see what he can do with more creators around him and playing off the ball more. I also think his defense will improve since individual defense is dependent on defense as a whole unit, I expect him to be a lock down guy with his athleticism. I think he is a great rotational piece, let's get a PF from Duke and call it good!
Regardless of NIL resources, Dusty kept the FAU roster together after the final 4 run because of the culture he built. Culture trumps all, I'm sure it will be developed at Michigan, combined with NIL that should be a huge asset.
There was some discussion in the spring game thread about Orji not throwing downfield and checking down a lot, a lot of people seem to think that will allow defenses to stack 11 in the box. I think Orji is our best option, others seem to like Warren because he hit a few long throws.
My brother in law is the team chef and has nothing but great things to say about what St. Brown brings to the building, great for the culture, great player, great production!
Wait a second...you mean to tell me a check down machine with a strong running game can make it to the NFC Championship game and the team can have a stellar year but people on here don't think we can win with Orji checking down? Which one is it people?! (not saying this was your opinion OSW, nor is it mine)
AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA im literally laughing out loud at work right now, you're for real bro?!?!?! Over some clicks of the mouse? Brooooooo I think it's you that might have the problem, honestly I thought you're car thread belongs on reddit, not a sports blog, and I just wanted to see how you would respond to losing some imaginary status symbols on here, as expected thanks for not disappointing!!! Classic response bro, I mean really, thank you, this made my day, I'm still laughing at how seriously you take things, too funny. This is true gold, buddy! You could not have me more misunderstood my friend...would love to have a beer, I'm a very jovial guy with a very happy life, thankfully. Healthy, beautiful family, loving wife, children who are confident and happy and successful, secure employment, plenty of strong connections with friends, I get to work with kids and help them everyday which I love, and I get to live out both of my passions on a daily basis which are helping others in need and coaching wrestling/football, all good here buddy, you don't have to worry about me anymore!!! May you have a blessed day!
Stop projecting and trying to rally the troops lol, take your negs like a man and be quiet about it. Remember the first rule of MGoPoi….fight club and when people adhered to that in the good ole days?
Dude gets buckets, I love how hard he drives tot he rim. Looks thick, finishes through contact, great body control. He looks more explosive in this video than the few I found on youtube, I imagine these are the type of under the radar recruits that got FAU to the Final 4.
Seems pretty fair and I think Orji could do it, everyone ranting on here forgets we have some masterful play callers and offensive minds designing specific plays for him. Chill out, he’s our best shot, he just completed 65% today and ran for two TDs. We ran 10% of our playbook today. Maize seemed to have all the receivers and our whole OL is out. He just needs to keep the chains moving.
And there is the whole NBA evaluation process that a few want to go to. Be patient, things are looking good based on what Brian and Sam are hinting at.

King Tot, where you at buddy? Dusty May is a very intentional person, he makes moves with precision. Wolf listed as a Forward was indeed accurate.

Yeah....everyone knows it was Joe Rogan and Graham Hancock..../s...kind of
But he had 12 slot ninjas in every class!
"We view offensive lineman as weapons here"
Rich Rod taking 1 OL in one class and 2 in the next set us back decades, thank you again Harbaugh, for restoring our OL depth!

Wolf listed as a forward and Goldin a center, I guess that answers our question of Wolf playing the 4, sorry Brian...
Antonio Bass....that's how devastating losing Moore is...
I'm pretty sure we needed Trente too...
11 straight years D2 champs, don't feel too bad. RJ has got a train rolling over there.
Looks faster than I imagined, looks like a good athlete who can contribute.
"it would likely also require the NCAA and conferences to agree to a system for sharing more revenue with some of the players moving forward."
Harbaugh is always on the cutting edge, nice work Coach.
We should put them on the schedule in the next few years, in the short term definitely send Stallions down there to do some investigating.
They still salty about the whole Vince Marrow thing or something?
Can't beat Big Ten Burritos!!!
Did you used to wrestle?

That would have been the most Jim Harbaugh thing ever!

For the brand...
Keon Sabb, come on down!!!
Tyler Nubin maybe?
The way Berry is playing at Nickel maybe we slide McBurrows outside with Hill, this transfer is a tough one, kid was looking good.
Smokescreen season, not buying any of it. We will find out soon enough if it is true.

Thanks for tracking all of this Brian, as always we appreciate the accurate content!

My buddy just reminded me that Trey Burke was a 3 star, ya never know!
Quality stuff Matt, thank you!!!
One more PF or developmental C would be perfect, hopefully Rooths but we will need a C when Goldin leaves. Dusty May don't play!
Being coached by 6(!) good coaches!
Esposito you sly dog....!
