MBB: Michigan among suitors for Seton Hall transfer Jaren Sina
Nope, not really that similar.
Maybe more of a young Nomar Garciaparra?
Much better
Looks more like The Situation to me.
Erryone at Seton Hall looks like The Situation. Espcially when he rocks the fake glasses.

Sina would have to sit out the year that Caris would be a senior. If you're making reference to number of scholarships, don't we have one for this guy?
Since he sits out a year, by the time he can actually play Caris will be gone for sure (either early entry or graduate) Spike will also be gone (graduation). Walton will be a senior and we won't have another scholarship PG on the roster (unless you count MAAR as a pg, which I don't think he is a true PG) So I think it is a great move. PG is one of the most important positions in the beilien offense.
There is an open scholarship even if Caris returns.
Caris will be fine because leaving ASAP is ALWAYS best.

He could have came back and improved his dribbling and shooting, skills that no doubt he would need in the pros as a 3. He most definetely could have helped himself by coming back.
on the internet. Always know better than a coach, kid, his family know themselves. If only we could MAKE THEM SEE THE WISDOM!!!
every day, for a large salary...vs. going to class and limited interaction with coaches
GRIII was NOT ready for the NBA after his Freshman year. Those same "projections" were those he followed when he left too early after his Soph year. If GRIII sticks around he would have done no worse then he faired and much more likely develops into a first round pick as opposed to riding pine in MN.
Remember how much he improved between April of 2012 and November of 2013? He did that without a single minute of 'playing time'.
Waiting a year would have got him into the first round probably, but what would he really have gained? One less year of getting paid. One year further away from free agency riches. One more year of doing what he already did in AA for two years.
It would have been great for Michigan, but not great for Glenn.
You realize you are making a great argument that GRIII should have returned right? If he could have elevated his game and became a first round pick that is ideal for everyone.
I mean, he isn't playing any minutes for an abysmal team. He was a second round pick, which means he is making $500,000 this year and unless he shows some signs of life they are unlikely to pick up his 1 million dollar option for next year. Look at Mitch as a later first round pick; he's guaranteed around 3M for the the next 2 years with team options in year 3 and 4 for up to another 4M. Being a second round pick historically gaurantees you are less likely to get "free agency riches" and more likely to end up outside of the NBA.
You get more practice time in the NBA than in college.
We can debate all day about where better development would happen and there is no indisputable truth on the subject.
My point is that playing time isn't the end-all-be-all of development.
GR3 is who he is -- there is ZERO guarantee that he would have been selected in round 1 the following season after doing the same thing at Michigan that he already did for 2 years in a row. He might not have been drafted at all, and be a half million dollars poorer for it. Even if he quit basketball right now and went back to school he'd come out ahead.
I will just say I don't think that's an accurate depiction of what actually happened. Your version makes it sound like some devious plot that Beilein set up which just is not the case. I also don't think it's accurate to say he "dropped almost a whole round by coming back." Plus your stfu is an overreaction.
Was gone before the year started. Nothing has changed.
not disagree more. If he was gone before the year started, he would have actually gone before the year started. He is a worse position now than he was, and he could possibly improve his position dramatically if he came back.
Two notes:
1) Sina went to Gill St. Bernard's, the school where the #1 Michigan target for 2016 5* Tyus Battle goes.
2) Michigan recruited Sina a while for the 2013 class, but somewhere along the line we cooled on him. IIRC, I think he was a backup plan in case Burke left.
Can someone refresh my memory on how many scholarships we have for his class?? Do we have a link somewhere providing this information on the BBall team?
Thanks in advance Guys n Gals!!!
Gotta be 1 or 2. Bielfeldt is 98% gone and I think LeVert leaves as well. I bet Beilein gives Hatch one more year to play.
really think we have that luxury at this point? I am asking seriously, and with as much empathy as I have. Can he remain on scholarship at the University without taking up an athletic scholarship? He hs great survivor story and he has had a couple of really nice moments this year, but doesn't the competitive needs of the team start to win out at some point. I am not saying dump the kid, but could other arrangements be made through the university whereby he could remain on academic scholoarship without taking up a roster spot? Tar and feather me if you must.
He can be medicaled, which means he can't play but he gets to keep his scholarship. I'm just not sure that Beilein will do that at this point. Time will tell.
on scholarship to fullfill his dream to play for Michigan. A medical scholarship is nice, but not what either Hatch or Beilein want. We can be fine with only 12 on scholarship. It would not be the first time.
Here's a little background on Sina's decision - LINK
Sina said it was "not a good situation" for him, and indeed, the quote from the Seton Hall beat writer mentioned in the piece regarding Seton Hall's struggles of late is interesting:
Internal strife has been a prime contributor to the downslide, as friction between the freshmen and upperclassmen grew over the past few weeks. After Saturday’s loss to Marquette, senior forward Brandon Mobley indicated some players were more concerned about their shot attempts than winning games.
This exactly.
Winston, Langford and Teske is realistic and would be a helluva recruiting class.
close to a lock for UM? That is not what some of the sites are saying.

Is this more of a depth thing? Walton is a senior in 2016 and MAAR is a junior. This guy would be a junior as well. There has to be a PG signed in 2016 for sure.
I believe that is the plan.
We need a backup PG after Spike graduates. Sina would add another member to our current Freshman class which is already enormous...which makes me wonder how much it will shrink this offseason.
First of all, great name.
Secondly, are you anticipating any transfers?
It wouldn't surprise me if Beilein let a few players know where they stand, which might scare them away (like Smotz, C. Christian, Brundridge, etc).
current roster that Beilein might do that to and he isn't a point guard.
