Sucks but good to know where we stand on opening spots. I show we got 3 openings, right? Possible options are McDaniels, Wilson, Cumberland, and Wagner. Anyone else would be from left field due to possible Howard hiring. 

Important we close strong as this team is legit, but needs 2-3 strong pieces.

Welp, first order of business for Juwan is to find a goof white guy that is a flat out baller that pisses off every other fanbase in the Big Ten. 

 

Good luck Iggy!!

He’s got zero chance in the nba in my opinion. Just doesn’t have the athleticism but if he’s determined to try he isn’t getting more athletic so might as well go now.

Izzo makes sure his players can commit any crime without consequences. That is why the stick around.

Right I know if I was a player, I'd love a coach who verbally assaults me during a game.  I mean, that's how we know he's an elite coach, right?  And as for running Beilein off...well it was reportedly the dirtiness of the college game, so I wonder what they're trying to tell us about Izzo?  I predict we'll be fine.

Two months ago I figured Matthews was gone and Livers would slide back in as a starter, Iggy would test the NBA waters and return, Poole would for sure be back, and UM would be loaded and ready to make another final 4 run next season. Truly unbelievable what's gone down since they got bounced by Texas Tech

Not for nothing, but to stay a year with a pro coach like Howard, if it is in fact, him, could have been very beneficial.

Coach B's first and last one and done. Well next could have been special if we just lost Matthews but oh well. Iggy did give his all though. If we get Howard our recruiting will pick up more because obviously. Has Wilson decommitted or just think he's? Go Blue!

Makes sense.  He played well enough this year to earn the privilege of playing in the NBA.  Poole didn't.

 

I expect he'll be picked near the top of the second round.

Iggy will go down as a top 5 favorite player.for me.

He came in, only a handful of people outside of Michigan knew of him, tore it up, then left. It was quick, but it was a blast. 

Sure, it was regular season, but him going off and destroying Nova/UNC was amazing. Those types of wins don't come often, and its best (now more than ever) to not take those moments for granted

I have a sneaking suspicion he'll be drafted 28-35. Regardless, good look to that young man
