Jalen Rose to join ESPN College Basketball Gameday

Submitted by Leaders And Best on

ESPN announced today that Jalen Rose will replace Hubert Davis on ESPN College Gameday. He will still serve as an NBA analyst during the NBA Playoffs.

Actually think Rose and Jay Bilas will make a good analyst combo. Their crew of the underrated Rece Davis, Digger Phelps, Bilas, & Rose may even surpass the quality of the ESPN College Football Gameday crew now.

Love Jalen's insights.  Not always PC, but always interesting.  Feels like you're taliking with an actual player, not a paid announcer.

Jalen was hilarious when he was doing guest color commentary for a UM game last season... can't remember which one. A nice change of pace to the "tread too lightly" type announcers.

Always good to hear success from Michigan figures.

Does anyone else feel that Michigan is on the cusp of an unprecedented run in both Football and Basketball?  Reminiscent of Ohio and Florida of the mid '00s.

Should be an interesting dynamic between Rose & Bilas. Think Jalen will call him a bitch during commercial breaks or would that just be redundant after already expressing his feelings about Dukies in the Fab Five documentary?

Not just for Michigan fans, but for basketball fans in general...Jalen is a breath of fresh air. Anything is better then listining to Jay Bilas tell me how great Duke and UNC are!

From the streets of inner city Detroit.  Jalen is not afraid to express his opinions and does so in a refreshing manner.

It will be interesting to see the chemistry with Jay Bilas.
