Thanks. My family actually commissioned the sculpture. My grandfather was classmates and friends with Wallenberg. It seemed like the right thing to do. I'm glad you liked it.
Wow. This kid looks amazing on tape. I realize that the level of competition must be pretty weak; otherwise he'd be a serious candidate for five stars. He appears to track the ball exceptionally well and makes catches in double coverage seem routine. His size, speed and field vision make him extremely dangerous after the catch (and a pretty sick stiff arm doesn't hurt either).
With all due respect, I just don't see how this team is better without LeVert. He is great at creating shots for himself and others; he can hit from anywhere on the court and can also take it to the hoop and score through contact; he is our best defender (by far); and the double-teams he demands open up the floor for his teammates. There is a reason that he led the team in virtually every meaningful statistical category before being injured. As such, I just can envision any scenario in which we are a better team without him.
You know things are bad when you start a player at a given position based on his name. Sadly, I think the outcome would be the same (at least in the win-loss column) regardless of who we pick from our current roster to play the post.
It seems like I ask myself this after every game, but what the hell is the deal with Chatman? Please don't tell me about the low level of competition he faced in HS. For long stretches at a time, the guy simply looks like he has never played the game before. SMH
@oriental andrew: Cyber-bullying? Really? Please tell me that you're joking. This tool has already placed himself in the public spotlight of the university community by promoting his asinine "idea".
Speaking as a Michigan alumnus who happens to live in SoCal, a lot of the kids from out here (e.g., Marshall) seem to be more than open to attending school where they can experience all four seasons -- including winter and the snow that comes with it. The lure of SoCal has a more pronounced impact on those who have never been here before, like Chris Clark. Just my two cents....
What's the deal with Chatman? Seriously. The kid looks completely lost on every single possession. He jacks up an ill-advised shot (almost always an airball or a brick) whenever he gets the ball within 30 feet of the basket. Otherwise, he dribbles the air out of the ball in until he turns it over. On the other end of the court, he misses assignments, plays man-to-man when we are playing zone (and vice versa) and gets out-rebounded and out-muscled by smaller opposing players. In fact, the only consistent thing about his game is that he looks lost on both ends of the court.
If our football program is as insignificant as you seem to suggest, then why are you here? Seriously. I can't imagine spending the time or effort to troll the comment section of a rival team's website. What kind of person does that? Don't you have anything better to do? I actually feel sorry for you.
