Some comments I read earlier in the year suggested that Boswell had a reputation for enjoying the social aspect of college a little too much; which shouldn't be surprising for someone who has yet to turn 19.

And mine is that I think Michigan thinks too highly of themselves, even after two absolutely terrible basketball seasons, to bend to a coach from what they view as a lower-level school.
May returned all his talent from his Final Four run and didn't do much with it. He knew he needed to jump before the window closed on him. I don't think his bargaining position was as strong as OP was implying.
It’s pretty well known that he had offers from Vanderbilt and Louisville. He absolutely had his choice.

I may be a minority here, but I watched a number of FAU games this season and I'm not a huge fan of Goldin's game. I'd prefer we'd look in a different direction.
I’m still not over that whole debacle of an off-season lmao

I watched him a few times and never really was that impressed.Looking at these 23-24 Boswell stats.....
That same account yesterday tweeted out that Dain Dainja is expected to enter the transfer portal so who knows.

Probably not an Aprils Fools thing, but more a troll trying to get engagement.

I am sure the staff has made it clear we need shooters and if Rodgers is the favorite son - playing Rodgers and Harris at the same time will be tough. Not impossible but based on this year - the roster and everyone else understands the impacts of roster construction.

I'm assuming he's UM bound because of May. That said, Vlad's offensive/defensive rating splits are erotic. He's +28 over an average of 100 possessions both last and this season. It's not easy being a big who can't shoot from 3 and being that much a difference maker on both sides.
Yeah, not great, but with a game on the line I'll take that 8% greater likelihood of seeing points go on the board. Every time this year he went to the line I had visions of Shaun Pruitt losing the game against Indiana, clanking free throws in the final minute of that game. And I'll take the guy whose career
average was 61%, you can have the 51% career player whose FT percentage declined each year he played.

Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
Especially consider today's date. Don't believe anything you see today.
Isn’t Jake Davis a Luke clone? Same height, same skills, same role- that might tell us something
His choice of three dumpster fires.
I guess you could make the argument that Hill is a good midrange player, and we could have used that against UConn and/or Purdue?
But that seems to go entirely against Brad’s philosophy. Our shot charts usually look like an analytics geek’s wet dream.
Think we need floor spacers and/or athletes. Would take booty ball but not sure 6’4 185 will get it done in booty ball actions at the P5 level. Those are Fletcher Loyer measurables.
That said if we get him please, prove me wrong.

Game is very Domask like….good around the rim, solid turn around and in the post, has good form don’t worry about his shooting numbers as much. 5 resounds and almost 3 assists per game doesn’t hurt either.
