Yeah, they lost out big time in this lottery. I figured they would land a top-4 for sure.Wondering if Beilein is reconsidering after the lottery last night.

Great take on it. I knew Gilbert was MSU grad but hadn't thought about it like that.I think cavs were flirting with Izzo a few years back. If he’s an MSU alum, hiring makes Michigan weaker, better for MSU lol.
Great hire for them. Taking the Memphis approach, but with a coach that has more experience than the HS ranks. He obviously is going to have ties to Chicago, which isn't such a good thing for us.
Miami Heat assistant Juwan Howard is expected to be named Michigan head coach
Agree... good hire from them from a recruiting standpoint. Don't know if he can coach. Hiring a primary assistant with head coaching experience will help with that. Recruiting 80% of winning and knowing his way around Chicago another plus. Think Michigan advantage.Great hire for them.

The McDonald's nuggets guy?

Probably can but don't know until we see it. College is different than pros. Good choice for Michigan unfortunately.He was a much talked about candidate for NBA head coaching jobs so I think he can handle the coaching aspect of it.

If only I could Grant you that wishThe biggest thing I'm taking away from this hiring is that I wish McNuggets were still 20 for $2.99.
We went old school...tough guy...they went new...former nba player with connections and sons...I don't favor us in this contest.
Good point. Football too, sort of..college experience was a long time ago. Never know but think Howard will be an excellent recruiter.It's interesting that Whitman was early in on this no college experience hiring when his number 1 choice was Monty Williams.
Howard wasn’t allowed to do anything more than exchange a greeting with other prospects or their parents Wednesday. And he was only allowed to watch games involving his son, who is trying to make the 12-man roster for this summer’s FIBA Americas U16 Championship in Brazil. But the former Fab Five star’s presence certainly didn’t go unnoticed.
Many kudos to Roger for his ascension up the ranks. I'd guess his next job will be as a Division 1 head coach.Roger Powell to Gonzaga as Assistant Coach.

No better coach to work under than Mark Few.Many kudos to Roger for his ascension up the ranks. I'd guess his next job will be as a Division 1 head coach.
