My favorite part:

He says he is ready for the challenges. Robinson recently told mlive.com: “I feel like I really haven't showed everybody what I can really do on a basketball court. Hopefully I can come back and shock some people. And maybe make some people think about what I can do.”

NBA Combine Winners (featuring THJ): http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/blog/_/name/nba_draft/id/9294289/2013-nba-draft-combine-sees-steven-adams-tim-hardaway-jr-impress-nerlens-noel-top-pick

• Hardaway Jr. has been hiding in plain sight for the past three years. Whether it was comparisons to his father or the fact he was surrounded by so much talent at Michigan the past two years, he's struggled to convince scouts he's a first rounder. I'm not so sure that's the case anymore.

His performance at the combine, shooting the ball in the athletic testing, and in Friday's live action 3-on-3's put him in the same groupings with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Jamaal Franklin, Glen Rice Jr. and Allen Crabbe for the next 2-guard to come off the board after McLemore and Oladipo get drafted.

IMHO this closes the book on any negative discussion of Trey Burke's size.  He is on track to be a high lottery pick.  GO BLUE!

My wife and family never feel the true emotions of what Michigan sports mean to me. As i was searching UMHOOPS.com and youtube I failed to find the banquet video, doesnt exist!? Help Welcomed! Go Blue!!!

I'm sure it'll replay...and yes, it's "just" the NBA Combine, but it's pretty cool to see Burke get the majority of the attention.

"Indiana announced Thursday that the former Arizona State guard will transfer to Bloomington and enroll in graduate school so he can be eligible immediately next season. Gordon, an Indianapolis native, is the brother of former Indiana star and NBA guard Eric Gordon."


This guy just does not stay at one place for very long (began career at Liberty), but a good move for him. Averaged 10.1 ppg last year for the Sun Devils, and could come in and help fortify a young Indiana team. Getting to play in your home state in front of friends and family is an added bonus as well.
