Tim Hardaway and Trey Burke weren't really high-profile players, nor was Darius Morris, and all were high-profile players. "We're still looking at 'who is the best fit.' "

Couldn't agree more.  A potential 2nd round pick has all the tools to be great in the NBA?  Come on.  Who is THJ going to guard?  The Michigan fanbase gets nuttier and nuttier each day.

Steph Curry the NBA version of Sauskas?  Laugh out Loud.  Nik's got a long way to go.  Step 1 quit shooting from the high school 3 point line.

3 weeks 2 days ago I hate to make it into that I

I hate to make it into that I just can't believe the Michigan fan base will still go to bat for RR.  If Hoke went 3-5-7 he would also not have support.

It's amazing what a school can do when you win* 

10 weeks 1 day ago Our bigs are already at a

Our bigs are already at a disadvantage due to the fact they aren't actually bigs (aside from Mitch)  but I think the coaching staff puts them at more of a disadvantage with the 35 foot hedge.  Have to be the only division 1 coaches teaching this. 

10 weeks 1 day ago What he always says "get into

What he always says "get into the offense.  don't do anything special.  Trey high ball screen"

11 weeks 1 day ago At what point do the to

At what point do the to young, we need a leader, defense isnt taught in AAU excueses get thrown out on the window and we concede that JB and staff just don't know how to teach it.  I mean that high long hedge has to be the most frustrating thing I have ever seen in my life.  When do they realize that 3 people helping in the paint is going to lead to an open kick out?  Not to mention the defensive rotation, where it looks like everyone is just running around confused, is very laughable.  These are all things being tuaght to them.

I'll take 3 years of bowls we missed out on over Denard. 

14 weeks 4 days ago Do people really care that

15 weeks 3 days ago Tell that to Jamarcus Russel

Tell that to Jamarcus Russel

15 weeks 6 days ago That's exactly how that play

That's exactly how that play was suppose to go.  He has one option on his last possession plays.  The top of the key ball screen.  It was the same case at Iowa a few years ago with DMO and ended in Smot jacking a step back 3.  Happend at OSU this year with Trey launching a contested 3.  I don't mind Trey taking someone 1 on 1 as he is usually the best player on the court.  What happens when that's taken away though like vs OSU when Craft played flawless D?  He has no other option but to throw it up and pray.  THJ or Stauskas coming off an opposite double screen at the very least would suffice for me.

16 weeks 19 hours ago Well it was the same thing at

Well it was the same thing at the end of the OSU game.  If that's all JB can come up with we have problems going into the tourney where you are typically going to come down to your last possession in multiple games.  I would love to actually be in that huddle when he tells the team what they are going to do.  I imagine it goes something like this "Trey you take your man one on one everyone else stand around" 

16 weeks 19 hours ago I still can't believe there

I still can't believe there isn't more of a concern at JB's half ending play selection.  At the end of the 1st half it was another THJ take your man one on one while everyone else stands around.  It resulted in another 3 point attempt similar to Trey Burke at the end of the OSU game.  Maybe the one on one is the best option but what is there once that's shut down.  There is no 2nd or 3rd option to the play.  This worries me.

17 weeks 4 days ago Theres shot attmepts and

Theres shot attmepts and theres good shot attmepts.  Nothing, other than a Trey Burke create and kick, is in that offense to get Stauskas an open look. 

17 weeks 4 days ago I am not concerened with

I am not concerened with Stauskas not getting 2 backdoor opportunites a game.  I would be more concerened with why there isn't a play JB can go to to get the best 3 point shooter in the country an open look. 

My main gripe with JB since day 1 has been his inability to draw up a play to get an easy look at the basket in crunch time.  Izzo is a master at this.  It seems to me that coming out of a timeout JB just says "alright lets get into the offense."  There never seems to be a special set.  I.e. Get GRIII on the block or get Stauskas an open look at 3. 

18 weeks 20 hours ago Ahhh I see your

Ahhh I see your point...anyways.

I guess my point is Denard is typically viewed as a god around here when I see him as just a good football player.  I understand normally you aren't going to play as good vs good teams as you do vs bad teams.  In Denards case he put up monster numbers vs bad teams and bad numbers vs good teams.  In my mind that evens out to make him an average football player.  

For example:  Putting up 500 total yards vs a ND team that ends up in the Ghostbusters.com bowl isn't that impressive when you consider how he did vs a ND team that played for a national championship. 

I don't have much time so in Closing ....

 

Denard +Bad teams = Good

_______________________             = Denard Average.

Denard + Good teams = Terrible

 

I rest my case!

18 weeks 21 hours ago Well I am curious just how

Well I am curious just how inflated Denards Stats are because he went off vs teams like Indiana and bad ND.  Everyone messes themselves over Denard around here but the way I see it is he played good vs bad teams and terrible vs good teams.  I just wanted that documented in an eGraph.  Is that ok?

18 weeks 22 hours ago I am still waiting on the

I am still waiting on the chart that details all of Denards stats in games vs top 25 defenses compared to those of Defenses out of the top 25.  Many of you have eGraph fetishes on here so someone make it happen....

18 weeks 2 days ago When is someone going to come

When is someone going to come up with the Denard egraph percentage stats comparing how he did in games vs lets say top 40 teams to teams outside the top 40??  I am interested... 

18 weeks 2 days ago Agreed.  KenPom is like

Agreed.  KenPom is like Denard to this blog.  He can do or say no wrong!

21 weeks 2 days ago I think Lewan would be

I think Lewan would be foolish to not go pro but maybe he is saying the offensive line will be fine next year because he'll be on it???  May be a stretch.

21 weeks 3 days ago He also gave us....A loss to

He also gave us....A loss to Toledo.  No wins against OSU.  No wins against MSU.  One bowl appearance which happen to be a very embarrassing loss to Miss St in the who gives a fuck.com gator bowl.  Broke our bowl streak.  Produced the 3 worst defenses in school history.  Recruited countless players that couldn't even make it to school due to grades.  Had an endless amount of players transfer.

But hey he gave us Denard and Denard had 500 total yards vs Indiana. 

You can have Denard if I can take back the 3 years RR was here.

Ready go!

21 weeks 3 days ago Rich Rod gave us 3 of the

Rich Rod gave us 3 of the worst years in school history.  He set multiple negative records on the way to a whopping 15 career wins while in Ann Arbor.  I could care less what he does the rest of his career. He did absolutely nothing where it really mattered.... Michigan.  Good riddens.  Now lets please forget he ever happened and encourage the present and future!

21 weeks 4 days ago You came up with all of that

You came up with all of that at work?

The natural conclusion is that the Brian and the majority of the people who read this blog question everything without knowing anything.  It's hilarious.

Yeah DG is not a playmaker...

Does it ever cross anyones mind that Norfleet was given the chance in practice to show he can contribute on offense?

Do you guys think our coaches are just that dumb where they wouldn't even consider him on offense?

They make millions of dollars to coach the winningest football program in the nation.  Lets have a little bit of faith that they know what they're doing!!!
