The Orlando Wolverines
With the pick of Caleb Houston last night, the Orlando Wolverines/Michigan Magic now have five Wolverines on their roster and could theoretically run them at the same time. Counting Houston they also have Iggy, both Wagners, and The Big Sleep (currently on their G League team) and I'd probably need to go dust off my Starter jacket if it happened.
Awesome to see so many of our dudes in the league, especially the concentration down in central Florida!
It was cool when there were 3-4. It's even cooler with 4-5.
I gotta say though, being a Bad Boys and Bad Boys II fan, the Pistons' draft has me pretty excited. Having heard Jalen Duran's name for most of a year when we were recruiting him to Michigan has me excited about him being a Piston. Ivey's story with his mom and grandfather playing in Detroit is pretty freaking cool too.
Who is "The Big Sleep"?
Jon Teske, who plays on Orlando's G-League team
Who is Houston?
Where is Houston?
Why is Houston?
How is Houstan?
When is Hous? Ten?
What is Houston?
Dunno but I'm betting Houstan is at a car dealership.
Nerdy history tidbit.
Astronaut Swigert said “I believe we’ve had a problem here.” Ground Control in Houston asked them to repeat and then astronaut Lovell replied “Houston, we’ve had a problem.”
Tom Hanks in the movie Apollo 13 didn't like the original real quote and changed it to just Lovell saying "Houston we have a problem."
Houston is who you tell when you have a problem.

It's a lot like Belichek drafting a lot of Michigan players, and the Saints draft a lot of OSU players. Sometimes a coaching staff just falls in love with players from one particular school.
I think at one point, at least three of the Saints four starters in the secondary were all OSU players. Now they've got Michael Thomas and Chris Olave out wide.
the justin feagin?
Shades of the late-90s C-Webb/ Juwan Washington Bullets!
Folks from Michigan moving to Florida is an old pattern.
Great roster, still think they have one of the best retro jersey in black with pinstripes jersey
Don’t really care other than I may root for them occasionally, they play the pistons I hope they lose every game.
