Not really sure why you would recruit a kid, develop him for four years and then let him play his best season for one of your biggest rivals. He was our best big last year and he would have been our best big again this year. Beilein screwed this one up -- the choice was Bielfeldt or an empty scholarship. Why on earth would you choose the latter?
- Derrick Walton, Jr. - Third Team (Coaches); Honorable Mention (Media)
- Zak Irvin - Honorable Mention (Coaches and Media
Which would have placed him fourth and second in those categories on UM.

the size of his calves around Max?
"I did tell the coaches that I did want to come back to Michigan," Bielfeldt said. "But at the end of the day things didn't work out and we both decided to move on."
Bielfedlt added, "I told (coaches) that I wanted to stay (and) Michigan was my first choice but as time went on I had to explore other options."

These kind of over and over dong punches remind me of Hoke's last years - it seemed the football team and program could do no right. The writings on the wall.
This thread was just an attempt to re-open the Beilein arguments.
Oy.
Seemed odd that we moved on from Max when he would have been our best big man next year. Maybe it will pay off for next year when we have a little experience at center ? Who am I kiddng.....Walton and Irvin are both going to be out for the year by the start of Big Ten play anyway.
How would he have been our best big man? He is 6'6" and not particularly athletic.
I think it is odd that Coach B recruits guys like Max, Wagner, etc. and never considers playing them as a 4.
Doyle was our best big last year.
Doyle started out mediocre and has gotten worse each year. Max was better at both ends of the court last season.

No idea. I would say that Chatman is almost stretch four territory as well.
It was especially puzzling this year as we had zero wing/guard depth but we still refused to play a stretch four (despite our solid number of big men)*

After Jaylen Brown decided, Max was still making his decision and expressed to the media that he wanted to return to Michigan still.
There really isn't a reasonable defense for Beilein's decision. Neither choice was more "non-sleazy" than the other. Just one option was dumb, the other was smart.
With Max torching us to officially kill our NCAA chances. If we get by Northwestern.
I am actually very happy for Max - good for him.

Is anyone surprised that front court player developed a great deal after leaving this staff?
