and follow BBall recruiting even less ... but I just hopped over to UMHoops and noticed that we have made no offers for 2015 but multiple for 2016. Anyone have a quick synopsis of why that is? Who do we have the best chance at landing out of those classes -- just wild guess at this point... Swing for the fences and try to get that Jaylen Brown next year and then load up again in '16? Lots of good lookin' prospects there.
I want to be good again. It was great to be good.

They don't have an scholarships. Duncan Robinson is sitting out a year after transferring.

as of now, we have Max's--unless his recent play changes the coach's minds--certainly not if a Brown-type commits. If Caris leaves that opens another. And they still could choose to medically redshirt Hatch.
Robinson isn't taking up a scholarship--he is already using one.

Michigan REALLY needed that media timeout. Not a good stretch from them.

There aren't going to be many open scholarships for next season... Caris looks to be gone, and Max B is the only senior. JB loaded up last year with six recruits, so there aren't many to give out for 2015. It looks as if all eyes are pointed toward 2016. JB already has a commitment from Jon Teske (6'11"), a 4-5 star caliber player who will contribute immediately and looks to be hot on the trail of 5 star point guard, Derryck Thorton. If Walton and Irvin stick around, this team will be poised to make a final four run.

Michigan isn't good enough defensively to guard man-to-man. Nebraska was getting to the basket. Freshmen are still freshmen when it comes to defense.

Nice 3 point play MAAR!

Rahk is really fast while dribbling.
January 27th, 2015 at 8:22 PM ^
But he's really improved his ball handling. Much stronger with the ball.
January 27th, 2015 at 8:28 PM ^
As I think you posted earlier, you can definitely see the improvement in his game. It seems he could develop into a pretty solid PG here in the next couple years.

Love the transition baskets!
January 27th, 2015 at 8:22 PM ^
Such awesome play from the freshmen tonight. Way to step up, boys!

MAAR is having an amazing game.
January 27th, 2015 at 8:22 PM ^
That's a beautiful quick 5 by Rahkman.
That's 3 layups for him tonight.

should have been a foul before he stepped out of bounds

He's THE guy you would've thought would step right in...but he's just completely out of sorts.
At first I thought it was because he was playing PF, but we've gone small all year and the more I watch, the more I realize he's just not very good right now.
January 27th, 2015 at 8:25 PM ^
base line drive step out of bounds in each of the last 4 games.
January 27th, 2015 at 8:26 PM ^
Kam is just all over the place. He needs to just relax and let the offense come to him. I know that's obvious, but you can see the frustration is causing him to speed up in an attempt to make something happen.

We should be 15-5 or 16-4.
January 27th, 2015 at 8:26 PM ^
I just got home from work and the first two plays I see are Chatman turn the ball over. Can't remember the last time I've seen a recruit this highly touted struggle this much.

It's that simple.
He may improve, but he's been awful for just about the entire season. Not average or even bad...he's been terrible.
Should've redshirted in hindsight, but he's at least a year away.
It'll be interesting if he gets better over the off season, it wouldn't shock me if he looked for a new opportunity ala Brundidge.

I think he has some skill but his low b-ball IQ hurting his game.Have to be patient with him.
