MBB: Does the Davis commitment mean LeVert [EDIT: or Beilfeldt] are coming back?
You can't give a scholarship to Jaylen Brown or Kenny Williams even if LeVert leaves so long as you take Coach Beilein's statement that there will be no roster attrition at face value. Davis's scholarship offer is currently contingent on LeVert's scholarship being available by 2016, and you couldn't be sure of that if it were taken up by anyone other than a senior.
I know there are other ways Davis and either Williams or Brown could be on the roster together, but LeVert staying and Michigan being done with 2015 recruiting seems the most likely. I doubt Coach Beilein would essentially burn a 2015 scholarship by locking himself in with Davis. So, we have good news?
EDIT: I didn't think about the possibility of bringing Max back and using the 2015 opening (if LeVert leaves) that way. We have to allow for that.

Signing 2 centers in 2016 makes even less sense, because you could use another PG in 2015 and now you don't have the scholarship available to take him.
Furthermore, to have two senior PGs at the same time and lose both is highly suboptimal.
