Carlton Brundidge

If Burke decides to go pro, is there any possibility that CB might change his mind and stay with Michigan? It seems like his main gripe was playing time (somewhat understandable if he thought he was going to be relegated to 5-7 minutes a game behind Burke for his whole career), but if if Burke left CB would seem to be the near-undisputed starting PG for 2012-13.

Is there any precedent for a player announcing he's transferring and then changing his mind? Would JB take him back? Should he?  The conventional wisdom is obviously "once he's gone, he's gone" but I wonder if this particular situation might warrant an exception.

DetNews has an article about Carlton Brundidge and speculation that he'll transfer.

(edit) - He shoots it down.

A Baumgardner item at annarbor.com quotes Beilein as saying Horford's season is over:

On Friday, Michigan basketball coach John Beilein said it doesn't make sense to chance putting the 6-foot-10 sophomore forward back into the lineup this late in the year as he continues to recover from a right foot injury.

"We're just working him hard in half court (during practice) and thinking about the future," Beilein said. "I don't think it makes much sense (to play him now).

"It's not fair to him."

Horford's injury has been unfortunate as I thought he was posed for a breakout season, and the team could have used him in a number of recent games. He'll be eligible to apply for a medical redshirt at a later date.

Also on the injury front, Carlton Brundidge returned to practice yesterday and may be ready to play in Saturday's Purdue game. He's missed several games because of complications from asthma.

"He was sick before our last trip, he had an upper respiratory infection, so he didn't make the trip," Beilein said. "He practiced (Thursday) and (could be) full-go (on Saturday)."

Bacari Alexander comments on the physical development of some of Michigan's players. Pretty encouraging stuff.

• bacari34 Boy, did some of our guys work hard or what this spring! New and improved bodies. Wow! Great job fellas!
• bacari34 Wow Evan Smotrycz is diesel! I'm hearing 235lbs! Geeze! Jon Horford up to 250! Now that's exciting! Vogrich looks bigger/taller too. Yes!!!!
• bacari34 Jordan Morgan is more cut up it seems as well [as] Novak and Douglass. Carlton Brundidge looks fit and trim and Trey Burke has been working.
• bacari34 Max Biefeldt looks great and is a lean, mean machine it seems. His body has really developed over the years. I'm sure pick up gms will b fun
• bacari34 Unfortunately, we can['t] watch pick up games nor can the players report back to us. NCAA rules! We trust our players will do the right things.

The final Scout basketball rankings came out today.  Trey Burke went from unranked to #94 and he will be a four-star.  Carlton Brundidge checked in at #98.  And Max Biefeldt didn't crack the top 100...he is a 3 star.  Glad to see future Michigan hoopers getting some love!

I don't know how respected MaxPreps is, but in their final top 100 all three UM recruits made the top 100. 

Brundidge = 62

Burke = 80

Biefeldt = 100
