    we want them to extend him and then him to fail... leaving Michigan in a much worse position later. how we get there does matter. momentum is a thing. 1. ideal situation.... they get off to a hot start, he gets extended. they finish decent in the big ten (maybe top 4) but that's it. he flops...

    I think it has to be Z. he'll be the first one off the bench to spell Tomi after the first under 16. and could stay in to spell mirk. he has the ability to impact on defense, an easy lob threat (which needs to be incorporated more in the offense this year) and if he gets his shot back from 3...

    you could have said that last year and they didn't push him into prominence until they had to. injuries did slow tsj last year but let's hope you are right!

    I tend to agree but in the world of wemby I'm curious if mara isn't the best choice. he can pass and defend and is 7'3. put him next to AD and that's a killer front court defense.... if you think mara can translate

    even beyond this. with podz, morez and Jeremiah fears that's 7 players in the last few years that this staff had committed or play on the Illini that got drafted. the talent evaluation by this staff is off the chart but the ability to get them to commit is also amazing.

    I was a big morez fan and really hated him leaving but never did I ever think he would be a top 10 pick in the draft.

    anything on the current Michigan team on our menu? would love to poach something. I assume their starting lineup will be hard to get anyone but they have a huge class. I wonder if Estrella and chaim leave to someone else... bigs are in demand this off season. if anyone leaves from their top 5...

    the only thing I know is if we lose to uconn again I'm gonna lose it. coming to the United center after the last few games, we better be ready to jump down their throats! I'll be there and if your want to be the best, beat the best. I'm done getting complexes from playing other teams, I'm ready...
