I hope they had as much fun doing those podcasts as they seemed to. I didn't find all of them great, but I found all of them more than worth their price!
Thanks to them for doing these.
Why am I posting again? Post count, of course!
I understand his decision, but I'm still glad Dunc gave him shit for it.
I can look past Spike at Purdue. This one's going to be hard.
Ohio freaking State? Really?
There was no other D1 program in the entire NCAA? None at all?
idc for OSU basketball. I don't see them as a rivals tbh.
Honest question: Why does he even need a scholarship?
His family has enough money to pay for a year of school somewhere. In fact, paying for college to better your situation is what most people do.
Just find a program that can offer a role for him with decent playing time even if they do not have a scholarship slot open.
I'd rather pay to go to Michigan for a year than go to Ohio State for free.
For real.
I talked to him at camp this week, great kid. He just wants to play and Michigan did not offer him next year.
I literally don't understand his decision -- he has already been in the B1G and experienced high levels of team success; he also played (two years ago) in the B1G, in a mop up role, and one of two things will happen next year at OSU: 1) He will play very little, because the team ends up being OK (e.g., 6 or 8 wins in the B1G) or 2) He will pay quite a bit and the team will be terrible (e.g., 2 or 4 wins in the B1G).
I can completely understand wanting to play quite a bit, but his dad or someone should have stepped in and gave him an honest assessment of his game -- if he wants to play 25-plus minutes a game and doesn't want to get drilled almost every game, he needed to go to a school like Quinnipiac.
Going to a rival school, to get drilled by MSU, UM, Wisky, etc doesn't make sense.
I think he didn't get into the grad program he wanted there.
Wow, a school that actually pays attention to academics and does not just rubber stamp the whole "grad transfer" thing just to get a basketball player.
Does the NCAA know about this?
To wish Dak luck at osu, But CAN"T. just stay healthy.
What they say about X is spot on, I was there and I think I may have video of the pushups. X was into the games, it was worth the price of admission.
His answer was strange. Still don't really know.
He was enrolled but couldn't get into the grad program that he wanted
These guys have great chemistry together, and I think it might actually be even more fun if they represented rivals. Andrew Dakich sacrificed the opportunity to play a couple of seasons at a mid-major in order to help out Michigan when they needed it. It's hard for me to blame him for taking a scholarship to OSU vs. paying his own way to UM grad school, and I think it'd be hypocritical of me, as someone who professes to care about the players' education, to criticize him for transferring from Quinnipiac when he didn't make it into the grad program he wanted. So, I'm never going to root for OSU, but I don't have any bad blood for Dakich personally.
It'd be hard, logistically, to do the podcast from separate locations, and while Robinson's Michigan teammates might accept the idea, given that Dakich is a former teammate, the OSU guys would probably give Andrew crap if he didn't quit. So, sadly, I expect this truly is farewell.
Maybe they'll have a reunion podcast after OSU gets eliminated from postseason consideration. :-) Say... mid-January?
