Per ESPN

Michigan grad transfer Andrew Dakich told ESPN that he will be playing at Ohio State next season. Chris Holtmann needed help in backcourt.

Even with all the Buckeye attrition, I doubt he sees much playing time. Considering his best scholarship offer was Quinnipiac for a 5th year, it would be hard to turn down a B1G school. No offense to Dakich, but if they are offering him a scholarship that means their roster is in worse shape than I thought.

We'll have to wait for the details. If he's walking on there, then he's dead to me. \s...sort of

Ripple effects of OSU firing Matta in the summer:

They hire the Butler coach.

Butler hires UW Milwaukee Lavall Jordan, who hires Jeff Meyer away from UM.

UW Milwaukee hires a Northwestern assistant as their head coach, creating a vacancy which is filled by

Northwestern hiring Billy Donlon away from UM.

Now OSU has such a messed up roster that they have lured our bench mob maestro away.

The last time a major OSU program was in shambles they spent one year in purgatory (and almost beat us anyway) and then had one of the best coaches in the game to plug right in and they've been on an unholy tear ever since.  They had better suck for at least two seasons.

Not trying to take a shot at Dakich, but this just shows how far OSU has fallen in basketball. A couple of years ago they wouldn't have even answered the phone.

Take a look at Ohio States schedule and find out what teams play AT Ohio State.  He's always joking around and I really can't put it past him to tell a reporter that he is playing at Ohio State next season but leaving out the part where he will be on the visiting team.

It makes some sense. I figured he would go the mid major route for more playing time but if OSU has a scholarship and playing time to give then I can't blame him.

I grew to like Dan Dakich during Andrew's time on the team.  I wonder if I still will like Dan Dakich now that Andrew's gone full-Boren* on us.  (Probably.)

*I really grew to like Andrew Dakich on Michigan's bench and all the energy he brought.  I hope the move works for him individually.  But never, ever, go full Boren.
