Sucks for Caris, sucks for Beilein, and sucks for Michigan. Coach Beilein must be feeling a bit snakebit at this point.

That's what happened basically. It's one thing to report something like this, but the OP did so in a less than tactful manner and then proceed to be less than tactful to the board when called out by others. We do try to run a clean place....well, reasonably sanitary.....enough to pass a health department exam at the very least.

Michigan's hopes of making the tournament/doing well in the tournament are steadily going down.
This news is also bad for Caris, but good luck to him, hopefully he will do well in the NBA.
February 19th, 2016 at 7:30 PM ^
That was the case with or without him. Didn't look anywhere near 100%, and we've got 2 top 10 teams to go...
February 19th, 2016 at 8:37 PM ^
no matter where they come from. that includes the BIG tourny. most have written off caris weeks ago.
and for the naysayers, everyone is back next year. so at worst, this is a 10-8 BIG team and ncaa tourny time; and likely better. i can live with that.
to hell with all of the JB haters.
February 20th, 2016 at 3:11 AM ^
...but we got everyone back THIS year, and, despite the better record, it looked like we regressed. Recruiting is not looking too great either.
Next year may be more of this year.

we DIDN'T have everyone back from last year.
The loss of Spike hurt us a lot more than his stats would indicate. He was the heart and soul of this team with his hustle and attitude and is sorely missed for those reasons alone, not to mention his ability to hit bunches of 3's when in the flow of the offense.
The loss of Caris hit us right at the start of the B1G season, and even though we played over it at times, his absense really hurt when Duncan went cold in the 2nd half of the conference season.
Lastly, we miss those glorious calves of Max Bielfelt. Seriously, though, I thought last season he brought senior leadership and some mental and physical toughness inside. I don't see any of that level of inside toughness on this team this season.

Feel bad for Caris. I hope he can still go in the first round.

reasonable shot of being a 1st round pick. Kevon Looney has the hips of a 20 year old golden retriever and he went in the 1st, albeit 30th. Too early to assume Caris is D-League bound.
February 19th, 2016 at 11:03 PM ^
Now I'm not much of an "lol" guy. But I laughed out loud. So LOL
February 19th, 2016 at 11:23 PM ^
If he's healthy by then and has the same moves, he'll probably be a safe top-15, top-20 draft pick. Teams are still high on his skill set.

Were a lot of people calling him soft? Honest question. I didn't hear it too much on here, not like I did for Funchess

I feel bad for JB. Between early entries, recruiting whiffs, and injuries, he's had to play a lot of weird guys.
February 19th, 2016 at 7:39 PM ^
I'll repost this from earlier: Good Lord what did Caris do to his damn leg? It looked like a simple ankle roll, and now we're at a collegiate career ending injury?! Seriously?
*Not a shot at Caris, just a real curiosity as to what happened.
February 19th, 2016 at 7:55 PM ^
My understanding is it's a high ankle sprain, which can often take 6 to 8 weeks to fully heal, and are prone to setbacks.

Michigans rotation is so short now. 7 guys, with Irvin and Walton playing so many minutes. There have been big injuries, Spike and Caris. What a tough season.
February 19th, 2016 at 8:02 PM ^
Beilein needs to apologize to the gypsy. Can't catch a break with these injuries.

I said it before I'll say it again, of course he's out for the year. Do you know how many Boo Boos or working through some things we have heard the past 3 or 4 years that were actually season ending injuries the list is just.... long and unfair. Mostly basketball and football, you know the major revenue sports. Not just the players that are easily replaced it's the guys who are major contributors or arguably the best players the teams have had since the 90's.
So its absolutely no suprise to me whatsoever, I am beginning to expect it. If Rashan Gary goes down to a season ending injury, first I will not be suprised then I will believe there is some sort of curse put on UM sports, A powerful one at that, and then I will be very suprised if Wojo or Angelique don't come out with a article going back over the past five years of season ending injuries.
Names like Pipkins, Peppers, Glasgow, Caris and another name escapes me but he was the starting Center on the BB team with a back injury that ended his season and college career. Injuries on other teams? Oh he'll be back for Michigan and when he does he has the game of his career. I may be bias but I am not far off.

mcgary. JB has definitely been snakebit with injuries to his players here. really sucks.
February 19th, 2016 at 11:07 PM ^
I would think this would be a pretty strong negative recruitung topic. It might just be luck; but if I was a big time kid with an NBA future I'd notice it for sure.
February 20th, 2016 at 2:03 AM ^
kids are going to blame Beilein for Spike needing hip surgery or Caris having multiple stress fractures or whatever the hell is wrong with his leg?
This whole idea that a staff can somehow prevent injuries like this is ridiculous.
