Speculate away. I'll start the bidding at January 28!

and that type of info can't get out.

For those who don't want to patronize the freep with their clicks, here is a similar story from mlive:

BTW FUCK the freep!

Did he deliver cadavers to the alumni dinner or something?
January 26th, 2016 at 7:34 PM ^
of fizzies into the swim meet.
January 26th, 2016 at 6:08 PM ^
It's on a need-to-know basis.
January 26th, 2016 at 6:37 PM ^
WE NEED TO KNOW
January 26th, 2016 at 6:11 PM ^
He'll be back for Indiana
January 26th, 2016 at 6:13 PM ^
So now we have an unspecified date by which he will probably return to practice?
This is ridiculous. Until I see him in a jersey, I'm just going to assume he's not playing the rest of the year.

The eagle has landed.
The chair is against the wall.
John has a long mustache.
January 26th, 2016 at 6:18 PM ^
I'm not sure which one comes first but it will be for one of those two games
January 26th, 2016 at 6:22 PM ^
I'm hoping he's back for that one so that the team has at least one game to reestablish some chemistry before MSU.
January 26th, 2016 at 6:23 PM ^
Indiana comes first.
January 26th, 2016 at 6:23 PM ^
I'd prefer that he come back a game earlier and get his legs back before a big game.
January 27th, 2016 at 8:20 AM ^
Exactly. He needs to play BEFORE those games to have any hope of being effective

Kind of crazy you could miss half your season for stepping on somebody's foot.
January 26th, 2016 at 9:17 PM ^
ankle sprains are no joke. add to it a guy with surgically repaired feet and a multi million dollar NBA future on the line.
January 26th, 2016 at 7:05 PM ^
but as one of my top 5 favorite Michigan games ever, I will always +1 that picture.
(Also eligible, Tebow with sod in his helmet and Jordan Morgan dunking on Syracuse)

Was letting scooter know that Meechigan is #1. He may have not been too happy with the student section chants during the game. Something about ND's mascot' I'm not not sure what that was all about...

Tomorrow night's game is an easy win without Caris. That puts us at 6-2 in the conference needing to go 4-6 in our next ten in order to almost guarantee a spot in the tourney. Anything after that is for seeding/ a B1G championship.
X>80% games:
vs. Penn State
@ Minnesota
vs. Northwestern
50%<X<80% games:
vs. Indiana
vs. MSU
@ OSU
@ Wisconsin
30%<X<50% games:
vs. Purdue
vs. Iowa
<30% games:
@ Maryland
If things go our way and we get Caris back for the game against Indiana I see us having a realistic chance at 13-5 in the B1G. If Caris comes back and there are no issues with the team geling then you can move all of the games up a category in my opinion.
January 26th, 2016 at 6:28 PM ^
While we should win at Minnesota, I would not call it a greater than 80% likelihood. The Barn's one of the better homecourts in the league and Minny played us fairly tough at Crisler.
I'm not sure about the trips to Columbus and Madison being greater than 50% either.
January 26th, 2016 at 6:31 PM ^
I would say the Minnesota game was more of us playing them into then them keeping it close. While they shot poorly, it is the usual for them. We shot poorly which is abnormal. If we play even avergage basketball we win that game. And OSU and Wiscy are more towards the 50% it all depends on how well the team plays with Caris back.
January 26th, 2016 at 9:19 PM ^
I would also say our chance vs Purdue is 30% I know we played them tough, but we match up horribly with them
January 26th, 2016 at 7:39 PM ^
I know I am in the minority but I say we sneak him some minutes against Rutgers and Penn State if he is ready.
Team chemistry has been fabulous without him and I hate that adjustment to come against an Indiana squad that can light the scoreboard up.

He is out for Rutgers so clearly he is not ready. If you add "if he's ready" to your perspective, then I think you share JB's perspective. It's clear he won't play until he is ready, and will definitely play as soon as he is ready.
