I happen to agree with him. It can be very hard to play football if you’ve got the flu and I’m sure they were worried about spreading it to other teams.
Their linebackers are the real heroes, because you could see they were trying to keep at least 6 feet away from Hassan every play.
Welcome Spike! Great pick up...from the videos he looks to be a smooth pass-first PG.
If Burke somehow ends up staying, it will give us decent backcourt depth. If he leaves, I can see him doing a good job of facilitating our athletic wings/bigs.
I feel like Beilein has us positioned well currently. If Burke stays, I think we stand pat and bank a scholly for next year since six in one class (Bielfeldt, Robinson, McGary, Stauskas, Albrecht, +1) might be a little much. We can then go after a big name recruit for next year.
If Burke leaves, I think we go ahead and pick up Della Valle as well, if he's still available. He will be a nice addition to the back court and has a great offer list. Though honestly, I was not super impressed with his play esp. in terms of handling and shooting form. Perhaps he could develop into what Stu gave us on defense, which is something this team is currently missing.
I don't think this has been posted yet after a quick site search, but I apologize if it has been.
AnnArbor.com article from Evan's mom, talking about how he just "wasn't happy" and wanted to reassess things. Also sounds like he has thought it through quite a bit and not a spur of the moment type of deal.
Wow, definitely a surprising turn of events, especially with Smotrycz.
I'm also wondering how Zack and Stu feel about this; they must be pretty disappointed, given all the work they put into this team and what they had envisioned going forward.
Definitely dampens the momentum we had coming out of a very successful season.
On the bright side, we are still 8-9 months away from next season, so hopefully that'll give us enough time to land someone in an area of need. I think even before this, I was worried about who could back up Trey and/or handle the ball; perhaps now we'll get the chance to address that.

Apparantly we ran a few of those double pass plays over the years.
The one that jogged my memory was the Minnesota game, both for the blocking and Navarre's jogging (starts @ 3:33).

It took rooting for Ohio and sitting through the longest 1.0 sec but it was worth it! B1G champs!! Tremendous job by Beilein, Zack, Stu and co!
