For you young ‘uns, imagine if Andre (El Mago) Curbelo was 4-inches taller and, oh by the way, could drop in 44 points per game (maybe 60 with a 3-pt line & shot clock) - That was Pistol Pete Maravich, college legend.
He was actually a little better season 1 at 68%. Down to 55% last year and back up 64% this year. That his best FT% was his Freshman year, is I think indicative that there is room for some improvement.
THAT would be ideal!
For everyone who laments every big recruiting loss (I hate it, too!), let’s think about the ratings of players Howard has brought in compared to what we currently put on the court - and remember the above observation from another team’s insiders.
If....if and buts were candy and nuts......well...you know the rest
Actually, a lot of the kvetching in the blog post and comment concerns how their guards are just too darn short and slow. Oh, and how they can't possibly replace Hunter Dickinson next year. Cry me a river.
Hope you are right, but he has long ways to go offensively before he is in the same league at B Cook.I remember getting loads offor saying he had Brian Cook-like upside.
It may be higher.
Unless you are MJ. Then you just shut your eyes on the line and knock it down on National TV
Boswell wore a Hawkins jersey today
Never seen anyone like him.
I'm going to show that to my kiddos... His ability to get good looks is a good demonstration of -move constantly with a purpose- and you will find a look, and get vertical. Great pic.Nice post-game writeup on MGoBlog today basically about how Illinois has personnel superior to Michigan's across the board, how "Brad Underwood's team put on an offensive clinic that Phil Martelli and staff seemingly had no answer for", and basically no one among the commenters can understand how the Illini ever lose.
Lol. They were disparaging the program and BU endlessly in the pregame post comments. Now, their tails are tucked firmly between their legs as they slink back into their hovels and look forward to hosting the inferiority that they perceive MSU as. I'm betting they slip to 0.500 by my bedtime tomorrow evening.

After roughly a month of defensive improvement, Michigan came crashing back to earth in a loss against Illinois yesterday. Brad Underwood's team put on an offensive clinic that Phil Martelli and staff seemingly had no answer for. You may recall Brian's column from a year ago entitled The Book...mgoblog.com
I love this photo of Plummer on the header. It kinda looks like he's like a yard off the floor as he shoots.

Boswell IDKWTI.
He’s a really good former recruit. Hope that helps.
No doubt. Eyeball wise, I like his energy and handles better at this point in their development. Cook definitely had the smoother, or at least more productive, jumper. Coleman's shown some similar slipperiness around the hoop when aggressive. I think CoHawk has better passing instincts.
We'll see where his game's at in a year.Still DKWTI. Hope it works out for him..
I think he’s more likely to be starting his senior year of high school around then, but I understand.
Fair point
Only problem is that was before OSU lost to MD. Right now let’s win it
That was fun to listen to/watch. Our guards completely outplayed the MI backcourt. It always helps when you are nailing 3 pointers and have Kofi unstoppable inside.Nice post-game writeup on MGoBlog today basically about how Illinois has personnel superior to Michigan's across the board, how "Brad Underwood's team put on an offensive clinic that Phil Martelli and staff seemingly had no answer for", and basically no one among the commenters can understand how the Illini ever lose.

Just looking at recruiting rankings, Michigan should run away with the Big Ten title. They have four McDonald's AAs. We have zero. We have three (barely) top 50 players. FWIW, I believe the most McDonald's AAs we've ever had is three (the 89 team with Anderson, Liberty, and Hamilton).
