Beilein: "We expect [LeVert] to be full-go by the beginning of August, if not sooner."

We are really going to rely on these freshman bigs. We will have to keep our fingers crossed and hope they develop quickly.

I am not worried about our bigs. When have we ever had go to bigs not named McGary. IF JB can get them to be average by March we will be fine. We have the best backcourt in the Big Ten. And I also expect huge leaps from Irvin and Walton. Walton is going to be really good next year.16 and 6 from Walton. 14 ppg from Irvin. 22 ppg from Caris = B1G player of the year. Don't doubt JB. They wont be picked to win again this year and they still will win. I am not scared of Wiscy.

AND I mean we are going to win a lot this season. Michigan basketball does not rebuild. Michigan basketball simply reloads.

Man, it feels good saying that.

Has there been any news on where/when exactly we'll play in Europe this summer? I'm backpacking around in July and August and I think it would be awesome to pay our team a visit!

MLive article on LeVert has a bit more on his timetable:

With that timetable, LeVert should be available for Michigan's off-season foreign tour to Italy in mid-August. Until then, though, he'll remain in Ann Arbor undergoing rehabilitation.

LeVert had received and accepted an invitation to this summer's Kevin Durant Skills Academy, but will now be unable to attend.

"His only plan is to stay here, go to school and prepare for our trip," Beilein said.

Sad news for Max - I hope he recovers completely and quickly!

Glad to hear that Caris seems to be healing well so far & hope his progress continues smoothly.

Also glad to hear that Camp Sanderson has begun for Doyle!!

 

Thanks for the Tweets summary!

Damn. Actually had no idea about Max - hopefully he recovers completely and as quickly as possible. It will be interesting to see then over this summer how Doyle and Donnal begin to shape up and how much in they will be used (and how often). According to Rod Beard, Doyle is already participating in S&C workouts with Jon Sanderson but per NCAA rules cannot work with the full staff until summer practice.
