Just Purdont, Spike....
Isn't it possible to block 5th year transfers within your conference? I though Beilein recently came out and stated that he dislikes coaching a guy and providing resources for a guy for 4 years, only to have Michigan NOT reep the benefits the 5th year. I just don't get it. I understand having Spike's best interest at heart, but Beiein should really have Michigan's Basketball program's best interest at heart since he is paid a pretty penny to keep us fans happy, and he has not even come close to keeping us happy the last few years. Maybe we were shown the Cadillacs too soon....
complain one bit if a Big Ten coach blocks a kid from going to Michigan for his 5th year, that seems very reasonable to me. I wouldnt have been the least bit bitter if Rudock wasn't allowed to come here. Harbaugh would have found someone else he could coach up. Hindsight and all that....
I totally get why U-M let Spike go. Not arguing they should've kept him. But you can't complain about who your GF dates after you've broken it off.

So you would have preferred us not to get Rudock last year?
Not sure if I've seen discussed but couldn't Walton have split time between PG and off-guard next year?
Pretty sure I've read he's much better as a spot up shooter which is easier when you're receiving the passes than dishing them out. I mean, if we're going to get a stud to take Aubrey's spot on the wing fine but not sure if that's going to happen.
We don't have nearly all the facts but it will stink big time if we leave the spot open again.
This plus Chatman begs the question, Is 6 million enough to keep Beilein around and knock the program back three to four years? Witht his attrition and the inevitable lack of incoming recruits with impact skills, the program isn't going forward, its moving backward. Beilein got it to where it is, he can't be allowed to cut that growth in half. Can he?

This is an eff you by Spike. Not cool.
I love Spike a little bit less for him choosing Purdue, when he knew full well that the one thing Beilein asked is that he please find a landing spot out of the conference.
I hope he appreciates those two free surgeries that Michigan paid for, and will now repay Michigan by trying to beat them. Jeez, Spike. Very undude of you.
