You mean he signed his OIL.
November 8th, 2023 at 10:00 PM ^
But what about him signing his Lol?
And I'm not joking when I say that, as a GR West Catholic grad, I'm rooting for my high school to beat his high school (GR Catholic Central) on the football field this Friday evening.
Good luck to Durral's basketball team!

Hey Rob, fellow WCHS grad here :) Class of ‘97. I guess this year we get Crush Cougar week part 2?

If he has dyslexia he could sign it twice LOI IOL, and still he would have already signed it three times today!!!
November 8th, 2023 at 10:07 PM ^
Glad we got PHAT!
November 8th, 2023 at 10:07 PM ^
definitely belongs on the All Name Team
November 9th, 2023 at 1:57 AM ^
Because of Brooks? I see what you did there.
November 8th, 2023 at 10:28 PM ^
Will they attempt to add 2 more recruits in 2024 or look for transfers?
November 8th, 2023 at 11:07 PM ^
We got 2 Phats!!
November 8th, 2023 at 11:49 PM ^
Hell yeah!! Hell yeah!!

For some reason, "phat phat" sounds like a Cantonese nickname to me
November 9th, 2023 at 1:13 AM ^
any relation to eli? I mean wuz not to like?
November 9th, 2023 at 6:05 AM ^
One more phat and he could have gotten an awesome brand deal with Triple Fat Goose.
Welcome aboard!

So, if Brooks is a PG, Anderson is a PG, and we already have McDaniel, how is that going to work? Maybe run the two PG offense? Why not.
November 9th, 2023 at 8:29 AM ^
I am not sure how that is going to work either. Dug looked so good the other night. He will be our PG for the next 2 years after this for sure. I am guessing those 2 will battle for back up status and one might end up transferring?
November 9th, 2023 at 8:32 AM ^
Anderson is short, but he looks to be more of a scorer.
Dug and Anderson would be an epically (sp?) short backcourt.
November 9th, 2023 at 8:50 AM ^
Having more than one ball handler is nice.
Anderson is a little more score first and is a great shooter. Early on, I'd imagine he plays a little more off ball and/or his role is as a scorer off the bench, coming in for short bursts alongside Dug or during stretches where they need O and they can take the risk of having a small backcourt defensively.
Also, roster construction is just different now. You can never really count on anyone being there the next season, let alone two down the road. So go get good players who want to be here and let it sort itself out. Especially with ball handlers, which has been a spot where UM has not had depth lately

Not to be confused with Khalid "Fat" El-Amin from U-conn in 1999.
November 9th, 2023 at 8:52 AM ^
Literally have never once heard or seen him called that
November 9th, 2023 at 9:25 AM ^
I'm more familiar with ol' Fat Lever from the Nuggets.

I hope no one thinks this is any kind of disrespect for Mr. Brooks. I don't mean to do that at all. But I am still amazed when I hear things like the Number 1 ranked MBB player in Michigan is a 3 star. I can remember when the State regularly produced some of the greatest players in the world.
