Agree we should pass on Luis when we've got Jake Davis. Should be good starting 5 and contenders in the conference.

Also Big Z may be coming. We're gonna space everyone out and bombs away!

So excited with the guys we've retained. Any word on if AJ Redd has also committed for the upcoming season? Would give high end backup for Boswell or maybe even starter if Rodgers doesn't return to form after long layoff

The lack of composure is entertaining, however.

With that’s said, I believe Underwood will build a strong team. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

Sure “strong team” & another non third weekend appearance. Why can’t we build a truly elite team with all the resources this program has?

It feels like we aren't involved in anyone right now. I'm SURE this is not the case but the tight lipped approach has everyone speculating that they are just gonna try to go overseas for the rest of the roster or maybe Reclass Costanza.

Months to go. Months. We’ll get our fair share of very good players. A combo platter of Ivisics sounds outstanding to me…

How much NIL does Michigan have? Top 5? How many 2+mil players are they going to sign in three weeks, jeez!

Will start by saying I think May is good coach

Though, I do agree with altgeld that a Final Four appearance via non-P5 school doesn't instantly make you elite

Nobody is shaking in their boots to go up against Larranaga or Brian Dutcher, although like May, they are or were good coaches in their own right

Michigan loaded up in the front court last year as well, and we took an injury ravaged squad into Ann Arnor and thumped them by 20

May had Nick Boyd (all Mountain West), Alijah Martin, Vladimir Goldin, Johnell Davis. That team should have won the AAC easily last year. They didn’t and got beat by a short-handed NU in the first round.

Didn't Luis get benched in the tournament because he was being selfish and not coachable? If Pitino doesn't want him, I don't want him.
I'll pass...

I got the impression he was benched because he was having a terrible game - so Pitino went with the folks he thought gave them the best chance to win in the last 5 min - it happened at least once with KJ this year as I recall when he was having a terrible game. Make no mistake he was a key reason St. John's had the season they did. His season efficiency and shooting % are not bad and he's one of the better defenders in the country

I don't know why we wouldn't take him - we would have to watch too much "RJ Time" but that's the only concern I would have and the coaches can handle that

Extremely similar bodies and games.

That said, Humrichous doing that stuff as a 21 year old in the Missouri Valley versus Mirkovic doing it at 18/19 in the adult pan-Balkan professional league are two different stories, that's true.

The league Mirkovic shot 38% from the field in last year is the same one Trent went over to and immediately became a top-5 player in the league in. I love Trent, but he was never a top 5 Big Ten player. Big Ten basketball is a step up in level. I think Mirkovic could be a decent multi-year proposition but I just don't see how he's an immediate impact kind of guy.
