I know there was a post a few days ago, but a friendly reminder that Mitch McGary's game wil be on ESPN at 4:00 today. Will be a good test for Mitch as he faces 6'11" Nerlens Noel (#2 in 2013 Class)
Also Nik Stauskas played earlier on ESPNU, but I missed the game, so if anyone has an update please post it.

Not starting? WTF
Yeah.
My thoughts exactly.
Not starting!
Whaaaa??
Section 10, Row 45
Stauskas played already
Scored 15 points. Had a couple of 3s, crossed over a guy and sliced through two more for a layup. Not a bad perfomance. Hopefully McGary can best this Nerlens guy.

this coach is tough!
Thanks for the reminder.
Thanks for the reminder. Watching now. Noticed that McGary is not starting.

So far
Not impressed. He will fit right in with the effort the team gave yesterday.

So far his team looks overmatched. But there is plenty of time left. That Noel kid is dominating right now.

Thanks for the heads up. #3 in black has a Kid n Play flat top. Classic!

Rough first quarter for McGary and Brewster. Hopefully he is able to get some open shots so we can see how good he is.

These teams don't even run plays. It looks like they aren't used to having to try to score.
any chance
Mitch can get in Noel's ear about coming to AA?
Wow
I'm disappointed.
Oh how I hate ohio state...
To be fair, everyone was
To be fair, everyone was expecting him to dominate because of the hype. If he didn't, it was going to be a disappointment.
I still think he's gonna be great for us.

I expected a little more from a 20 yr old guy playing against 16 and 17 yr olds.
On that note though if Noel is a legit 6'11 than Mitch is no more than 6'7 tops, he looks completely dwafted by Noel in the post.
He's not necessarily
expected to play 5 for us.
To be fair...
The hair puts him over 7'.
Whatcha gonna do, little brother?
Win or lose
that guy's flat top is awesome

Section 10, Row 45
So far Mitch isn't even a top 3 player in this game. I can handle the fact that he isn't scoring, but where is this energy & hustle he's supposed to bring?

this game
This game looks like an And 1 mixtape. Whole lotta woofing it up.
This literally looks like a
This literally looks like a NBA game with a lot of one on one, hard to get anything out of this game. The shot clock has some of these kids jacking up shots for no apparent reason and with espn being there it really is a perimeter game.
I expect McGary to be a Tyler Hansborough type player at michigan who everyone will hate because he just attacks and gets the benefit of every whistle possible. I'm sure we all can and will take that.
Very disappointed. Let's
Very disappointed. Let's face it if you didn't know who he was, afterwatching that half you still wouldn't, he looked like just a guy out there. Really showed nothing.
Not going to lie ...
pretty underwhelming so far.
Judging by the first half, I
Judging by the first half, I think McGary stays at least two years and that's not bad news for Michigan IMO. His energy will definitely be an asset and totally infectious. I can not wait until he steps on the Ann Arbor campus!

Lot of negativity...
He's a PF having to match up with the best center in his class if not the whole country.
Whatcha gonna do, little brother?
C'mon man.
C'mon man.
What?
Thought it was clear I meant that he's the best high school center. He's the number one center in the 2013 class and if he's better than Isaiah Austin (the #1 2012 center), then he's the best center in the country. ESPN has him rated higher.

I'm pretty sure that Noel is
I'm pretty sure that Noel is like 3 years younger than him, 1 class year younger

Come on guys stay a little more positive for a future wolverine. Hope he doesnt read this with you guys judging off watching him in one game. Show a little more class.

Hope that Mitch is very upset with his performance. If he happens to read any of this and is a true competitor then he would agree with the assessment of his play today because he in no way even looks like a top 50 recruit.
Oh how I hate ohio state...
How the hell did these teams
How the hell did these teams come to exist?? My high school team sent a couple guys to D1 schools and we would have gotten absolutely murdered by these guys.
"Michigan Defense" is dominating everything, in every aspect of life. That's a rough definition.

First time seeing McGary
First time seeing McGary play, and I've been impressed with his athleticism and effort. Noel is a phenomenal shotblocker so there isn't a lot of room for Mitch to finish around the rim, but I think a lot of folk here are putting way too much emphasis on points scored. There isn't a shotblocker like Noel in the Big Ten and there probably won't be going forward.
Brewster runs NO plays and
Brewster runs NO plays and they seem like a bunch of selfish players. I like Mcgarys hustle and after some John Belien coaching he will be just fine
