Unfortunately our offense hurts WR production. So dings WRs. Same with JJ - if he was in LSU's offense he'd either be #1 overall or not but there would be way more data so he was not some great box of chocolates mystery.
Yeah it was considered the best job and threat for Ben Johnson to leave. They don't have major salary cap issues and they have new ownership and are in a traditional market with a rabid fanbase.
Maye may bust (they could all bust or be 4 hall of famers) but he had the worst supporting crew on offense this past year amongst these 4 guys by a margin. Caleb had the worst defense of the 4.
He might break in half on the 3rd real hit in the NFL
I am also amazed how Maye has fallen off in people's eyes. Hilarious how people change their views AFTER the last game these guys play. Silly season indeed.
All of this is a crapshoot - remember when Leaf and Manning were a tossup? Remember when Young and Stroud were?
TWO first round picks not just draft picks, and an All American and most coveted transfer ABOVE Love and Shannon. And still a NIT to show for it.
And why so desperate for those two - because the roster management was in shambles. Usually you add one of those guys as a cherry on top. Not as the heart and soul of the team. Nkamhoua the same. Why are all the best player we did or could have had transfers vs you know developing our own and accessorizing with the transfers.
We know nothing about Moore yet as a full time HC. Also there was no "second in line if not Moore" with the timing. It's like saying congrats you drafted Cade Cunningham first overall - well that was the consensus and obvious.
If it works out in 3-4 years then yes congrats. If not, it's a bad hire. None of us know.
Well it's a coaching change in the program - it's not a random day in May. Football dominates the fanbase. We love basketball when we are winning. When it was Ellerbe Amaker almost no one wanted to talk about it.
Continuity of shit? No thanks. Martelli seems like a fine guy, he was a useful tool for a person with zero HC experience; he is old as dirt. Time to enema the program. Get some recruiters, get some ball busters out there who are hungry, get someone who can develop guards.
Holy shit this blog's bpone never ends does it - guy hasn't won one game at Michigan and could be fired in 4 years for all we know, and people have angst about the NBA taking him??
Because there is such a track record of college coaches doing well at the NBA.
Many sacrifices from the past present and future were required to claim the national championship. A destroyed basketball program and an ACL here or there amongst others.
Guy was making $1.25M annual with 5% annual increases. This is a boon for him.
People are conflating football contracts with bball. So this looks like a "deal" but it's a great deal for a guy who really has shown out one year. We will see if he can recreate that one group of players who got him paid.
Hope it works out - but it's not our money so who cares.
We won't know until he gets in here for a few years and portals in, recruits and we see what the product is down the road. I hope people who will say be patient now are indeed patient when actual games happen as next year we truly are a flaming piece of shit at this moment and even with transfers we are probably at a spot to be thrilled with a .500 record.. JB was 10-22 year 1 (Harris & Sims) and 15-17 year 3. Granted no transfer portal but hard to build a winner almost solely through that either. There is literally no base of NBA or sweet 16 type talent on the team as we speak. Spare me Burnett.
Most hires look promising upon hire due to former success (otherwise they wouldn't be hired) and some succeed, some flame out. Holtmann looked like a great signing. That flamed out. Same for Dusty - who knows. As I wrote elsewhere the one thing I like is after massive success last year his players didn't all portal out for bigger BMWs. So that's something. We can cherry pick great things for any hire.
I do hope he gets a "defensive coordinator" type on staff as while the offense is fun, they leave a lot to be desired defensively.
These are not people leaving a well run program with a coaching staff that did much developing.
Different situation.
And it's clear based on those comments the college coaching community knows the "self inflicted one arm behind it's back" nature of Michigan basketball in the transfer portal.
And that's going to turn off some other coaches from coming here.
We tend to be an echo chamber here following the leader. No one the fuck knows who Medved is in Columbus or East Lansing or West Lafayette. Just like I doubt more than 10 people on this board new his name in January.
That doesn't mean he is a fine coach - these are all educated shots in the dark and who knows who will work out.
No idea if May is a good hire but almost every hire is a crap shoot. No one knows - we will give it a whirl and that's all you can do. The program is below what some others can offer due to admissions issues affecting your ability to shape and rebuild a team, so you are limiting what coaches would even come here in the first place vs those who are able to play the system as it's now designed..
What I do like is after unprecedented success last season his whole team didn't bail to go to higher paying programs. That is something in this day and age when any ounce of success leads many to walk to the the guy offering the bigger BMW.
I mean it's 2 and we are pushing it. Morgan had 23 catches and Morris 13. For perspective DE had 30. Clemons and Moore had some nice coffees out there in September against nobodies. (English had 1)
He would be the best QB on this roster. Unfortunately. :/
I know I know, Orji with his (checks notes) zero passes last year is better. I know I know the old guy from Indiana with his 54% completion ratio and INTs galore every time he played a real game is better. I know I know a true freshman is better. We've got 5 guys better than a top 20ish QB last year in NCAA
Just about every middle aged women photoshops shit to make their family (and herself) look better. And oh just about every young women does that too. Oh what a horror!
Remove filters from the photo apps and this world may burn to the ground within hours.
Yeah, I have zero empathy in a general sense for the royal family complaining about a single thing because its ridiculous these people live this entitled life due to nothing but bloodlines but Kate was not born into this life and also it's a friggin health issue not "I am tired of playing polo and my elbow was injured"
Wacky take - that said many countries inhabitants rightfully should have a lot of ire towards the English crown.
Every coach at this point needs to be a portal guy. Guys portal out - you can't replace them with only HS players unless you are bringing in classes of 6 annually which is not reasonable.
Michigan is going to be a problem for any coach here due to admissions fervor thus it falls in rank as a job whereas other places let their coach get anyone they want. Put Shannon and Love on this team and Juwan is still coaching.

Pls hire a defensive coordinator type
Talk about lying in the weeds! Impressive shit.
A…
And (wait for it) ...NIL
A lot of guys came back to take care of 'unfinished business'
Most years another 4-5 of these guys would have left a year ago.
Unfortunately our offense hurts WR production. So dings WRs. Same with JJ - if he was in LSU's offense he'd either be #1 overall or not but there would be way more data so he was not some great box of chocolates mystery.
But could he throw 80 yards from his ass like Milton could???

Unlike Love who the same year

Because the coach.
Who is aside Uconn right now? Consistency is difficult in the modern era of everyone is a free agent. Maybe Gonzanga as 2nd.

We do the same thing here. Everyone does.
May has turned into a god overnight on the blog. It's the same everywhere.

Yeah guy is making it out as if Kentucky is Alabama and Michigan is New York or something. It's fucking 1 state apart from us.

If only he had an all timer Michigan big man and 15 year NBA player to coach him the last few years...
Oh wait.
Oh wait you were…

Woo hoo 40% shooter Burnett! What a backbone piece for next year. Cmon man these players wouldn't touch the court during Michigan's heydey..
I am sure he did no research before moving his family across the country.

He may be. We won't know for 3 years or so.
No sure things out there not named Bill $elf. (who bombed out tonight)
We'll see circa 28 if this was a good hire or not.
4 guys played more than him last year who return (2 barely of course) but 2 of them were in his class. So no guarantee of anything.
I mean it's 2 and we are pushing it. Morgan had 23 catches and Morris 13. For perspective DE had 30. Clemons and Moore had some nice coffees out there in September against nobodies. (English had 1)
Have you seen our offensive scheme? Not the most attractive for getting high end WRs here.
That said it is curious there hasn't been a single commit since Moore took over. Bama has 5 verbals since their switch.
He would be the best…
Same
He would be the best QB on this roster. Unfortunately. :/
I know I know, Orji with his (checks notes) zero passes last year is better. I know I know the old guy from Indiana with his 54% completion ratio and INTs galore every time he played a real game is better. I know I know a true freshman is better.

BUT BUT BUT who then will be wrestling Coach Moore in the locker room???????????
I love my DL coaches not wearing a headset and in short sleeves in sub 25 degrees!

Announcer: you need a 5 second call
Clock: I have 3.9 seconds on me
lol
Happy for Kampe man, 40 years.
You come out of a timeout with a Caitlin Clark shot from the logo loool
UK horribly coached. AAU ball.
can we buy the entire oakland U team? They are much better coached than us.
Oh wait none of their credits would transfer never mind. Our players are all Rhodes Scholars. Just ask admissions.
/too early??
FIRE MEDVED!!!
/too early??
Gohlke lol
His resume was no head coaching experience.
Then he began lunging and slapping and punching people - inclusive of inside his program.
Is someone on this list a person without a minute of HC experience upon being hired and a history of attacking people?
