Mens Bball: Class of 2016 sign LOI
Michigan announced the signing of Austin Davis, Xavier Simpson, Jon Teske andIbi Watson this afternoon. The Wolverines inked the four class of 2016 prospects to letters of intent on November 11th, the first day of the early signing period.
Good article linked above that talks a little more about the players who signed. It will be interesting how the scholarship situation develops, because as of now we do not have room for all four. I remember hearing that Austin Davis may reclassify, but not sure if there is any real substance behind that.

Need: Austin Davis, or any of the other members of this class, to reclassify or someone to transfer. The current Sophomore class has 6 members, so one of those would be my best guess to transfer.
Here is a breakdown of the scholarship situation: LINK

Sorry, but I really don't think it's appropriate to anticipate individuals transferring on MGoBlog. The numbers are what they are, but imagine being a player and having a friend tell him that people on MGoBlog are hoping he transfers.
Why not just let everything "come out in the wash," as it always does. As for anticipating Dawkins "blowing up" and going to the NBA, I think his dad might encourage him to stay in school, get his degree in three years and then go to the NBA. It's not like his family needs the money.

does he say he hopes Donnal transfers? If we can't discuss possible transfers on an internet message board devoted to said team, what would you propose? I can understand Brian et. al. not commenting on this, but sometimes people need to lighten up a bit.

I'm just not confident in his ability to fit in Beilein's system.

It would make 0 sense for Donnal to transfer. He already redshirted, so he would lose a year of eligibilty in the process of leaving and have one to play. He might as well play next year because you can transfer without sitting out for your 5th.

Zak Irvin declaring for the draft if he picks up where he left off from last season, but he can't play until he's cleared after back surgery.

People on the board have said Davis has no plans to reclassify, but it seems unlikely to me that the staff would just assume someone will leave early or transfer.

is willing to reclassify. Based on Beilein's history, I believe them.
November 11th, 2015 at 11:22 PM ^
but JB seems to think he'll be there for class of 2016, not 2017

Let's see what happens in the the late signing period when the roster situation becomes clearer.
November 11th, 2015 at 7:29 PM ^
Irvin or Walton have told the staff they are leaving for the NBA and/or for grad transfers.
Not saying this will happen, just pointing out that the speculation can go a lot of different ways.

How do we know how this plays out?
I think it's a premature statement...

Saw a B1G recruiting class list.......how is Penn State #2? How do they have good basketball recruits? They have been horrible for a long time.
