Sunuvadakich to visit Michigan
With the departure of seven players from Michigan's roster as a result of graduation and the NBA draft, the Michigan coaches have begun searching the country to make late additions to add depth to the program. One of the players they have identified is 2013 point guard Andrew Dakich of Zionsville (IN). Dakich, the son of ESPN analyst Dan Dakich, is an under recruited, crafty ball-handler who could provide another talented ball handler to the Wolverines thin back court.
Michigan started showing interest in me a few weeks ago before the Final Four," Dakich said. "Coach Meyer offered a preferred walk-on opportunity at Michigan and then Coach Beilein talked with my mom for a while recently."
Although he just recently started receiving interest from Michigan, Dakich already has some strong connections with two future Wolverines.
"I've been close friends with Mark Donnal for a while (they are AAU teammates)," Dakich said. "And I've been playing against Zak Irvin practically all my life."

Plus: Dakich won't be able to do our games anymore.
If that's the case, let's offer him 4 scholarships.
I'll pay for the kids education.
Bob Griese certainly called a few games at Michigan while Brian was playing.
Well in that case, if we land him, the elder Dakich at least won't troll the U of M fanbase so hard during the games he does call...

Unless he just settles in to talking shit about the guy who is starting in front of his son...
Unfortunately no, I distinctly remember Bill Walton calling at least one Arizona game while his son was there.
That din't stop Bob Greise from covering our games when his son played here... Not that was a bad thing. Griese calling the Rose bowl to end the 97 season was an awesome moment for me. After being so profesional through the season you could hear him getting choked up after that win and his son being named mvp. Loved that
That was another announcer, not Dakich. The play by play guy kept giving him an out, but the color guy kept insisting on 90% from the top of the key.
imagine stauskas could do it with optimal conditions.
otherwise, ridiculous.
This guy said every college player should be able to in a game. Even Stauskas couldn't come close in a game scenario.

He's coming here. Gut feeling.
Me too.
That's what she said.
He would be all over Michigan just like he is with Indiana.
and thought we were recruiting an Indian guy. Now I get it
I'll do whatever to get us brownie points in the Dan Dakich Index.
Love, but given how we got outboarded in the second half vs Louisville, and by Staee, I'd really like to see an athletic, Dennis Rodman type of garbage man big body added to the roster.
You're not finding that this late in the game.
Also, with GRIII moving to SF and McGary to PF, that puts 2 big men play GRIII on the floor at the same time. Our rebounding numbers will look a lot better.
with his length, Irvin would be a great rebounder at 2.
More than anything--as Spike will probably play a lot more, and Eso/Corey/Josh graduating, they have to replace some talent in the scout team backcourt. Someone with high basketball IQ and who can handle the ball sounds perfect.
Well....I suppose there are worse announcing dads that could be associated with the program. At least Dan Dakich only (allegedly) killed four hookers at Indiana.
I think we should give Beilein the benefit of the doubt with regards to talent evaluation.
Im kind of surprised the staff didnt have more backup plans in place. I felt they probably could have over signed by one since the pre-season (everyone knew Trey was going pro). The Hardaway situation was obviously more fluid. But between him, McGary and GRIII you'd think at least one would go pro after the sweet 16.
i know the guards are interchangeable but how big is this kid? if he is 6-0,6-1 i just dont understand another player at that size.

If Beilein wants him he is good enough.
India?
I suppose that once Coach Beilein went "international " by recruiting Stauskas and found it to be a successful strategy, it opened his eyes up to all the possibilities out there.
Besides, if Dantonio can recruit internationally at Staee, there's no reason we can't blaze that same trail for basketball players.
