Dusty May introductory press conference (video)
Opening statement:
(HT: https://umhoops.com/2024/03/26/video-dusty-may-introductory-press-conference/)
And the questions:
Favorite Moment 12:20 of the Q&A. Dusty replykng to question about style of play says “I don’t know, I haven’t seen the roster yet” and the whole place giggles like a middle school classroom during sex Ed.
sounds like a good dude. Wants to be here. Not afraid to learn from people better than him.
Bet〽️
Wow...I think I was impressed with literally every single answer he gave. He seems as though he very much understands the modern college sports landscape and appears to have a process and approach for everything he does.
Press Conferences don't win games, and this is my first time really hearing him talk at all, but darn it all I'm on board. When does basketball season start!?

Very impressed with his answers to questions, regardless of on-court results it appears he'll be a great representative of the university. I'd love to see him pull whatever strings he can to elevate the Maize Rage, that seems like something where he'd have some sway and could improve the experience for players as well.
I believe you mean May's Rage
If he's good enough and sticks around a while I can see that name becoming a reality.
if he had a bloodhound named Blue he could have a basketball podcast called "Mays & Blue"

Or he could team up with Vida Blue.
Winner
May(ze) Rage

Oh that is going on so many tshirts...
Important note potentially re: next season’s roster: George Washington III was in attendance
Ehhh. Mid major level talent in B1G. Portal might be right call for both parties
Curious if May is required to keep him, as he is in portal... What if May doesn't want him ? Is he obliged to take him back ?
Once a player is in the portal, the school is under no obligation to take him back--at least not in any sense that's based in NCAA rules or contract law.
I heard that about many a Beilein guard that turned out pretty good. Maybe some development and PT leads to improvement.
What a sweet piece of ass.
Warde or Dusty?
George Washington. You know his teeth were made of wool.
Six foot eight, weighs a fucking ton
The sons of his opponents wish that he was their dad
Warm in the winter, cool in the summer. Where can I get some of these wool teeth of which you speak?
Warde of course. Look at that ensemble. The quarter-zip under the oversized blazer. The hastily folded pocket square lost in a Grand Canyon of a pocket. The Woody Hayes frames. The enormous Balthus tie knot.
It's unparalleled beauty.
The quarter zip under the blazer that he wore to the NC celebration looked like it would be extremely hot. Big fellas get sweaty I know from experience so I don't wear that many layers
Veronica Vaughn?
Some of you are really insecure about appearances.
Warde with another bizarre and weird fashion flex 😂
His insistence on wearing a quarter zip sweater under an oversized blazer is one of the most baffling fashion commitments I’ve ever seen
The extremely skinny lapels don’t help.

Logged in to upvote. Great show!
Warde is trying to be a trend setter.
My first thought was WTF is Warde wearing. It's like a blazer/moo moo. He either lost a lot of weight or is planning on gaining a lot of weight.
Yeah, it's some sort of unstructured sport coat, which is very weird.
Or he's planning on hiring a firm to assemble a panel to decide if he should gain weight or lose weight -- and what the ramifications could be for him. After the six figure check is cut to pay for that analysis, he'll then consult with University leadership and former Michigan coaches to formulate a plan that's best for his weight gain/loss program.
Then he’ll make no decision and just see where following status quo gets him. The ultimate man of inaction
In fairness, Warde is a 6'5" former defensive tackle. His body type doesn't leave him with very many options.
I heard him speak when he was the AD at the University at Buffalo. He was wearing a very nice sport coat and gray slacks. He looked sharp that day.
A little OT but, Louisville is talking to Richard Pitino.
I hope this happens. His dad knows the town, especially the good Italian restaurants, he could probably get his own table.
I wish I could give more than 1
Already has more than 15
Didn't Billy Joel write a song about it?
Well, it's not just his table...
Actual LOL.
Not sure he'd need a table. Just the ground would do right?
He's getting old. Maybe some handicapped rails?
