Behind the scenes due to his handler/father and/or because of Michigan? I need to know if this elevates my dislike for Michigan.
Can imagine it would. There is factual, recorded evidence that MIchigan has been cheating consistently for 125 years. In spite of retreating to the sewer whenever things get tough, they hide while proclaiming themselves to be "Michigan Men"....a moniker that has become widely known by all others to mean sewer rats.

Look what Dave Portnoy paid Bryce Underwood. I’m sure he’s paying some for Michigan basketball too

Not excited about Ty returning. My most vivid memories of him are the opposing team not bothering to guard him. Hope he proves me wrong.

I think Illinois is better with Ty getting the minutes that Humrichous got this year. So I look it at like:

Ty > Ben
Boswell = Boswell
Ivisic = Ivisic

Replacing KJ/Riley/Tre White/Morez with a better collection is going to be the most challenging part of the offseason. Very challenging

I hear the offer to Will is $2.5M and that the staff is modeling that out vs what he would earn in the NBA. Any chance that is real and that it would be more than he would make?

New booty ball specialist?
Hummer....and I think Ty also...could get that 8 ft. fade-away virtually any time they wanted. Problem is Hummer could never get the ball over the front of the rim. Made me wonder if he ever practiced the shot, but cannot imagine he would work so hard to get it if he didn't. It is not difficult, but the speed and jump on the fade has to be consistent because the eye perception is changing constantly and rapidly. Ty could be effective too if he worked at that shot....and it would be a good mismatch strategy when he gets switched to a shorter guard....but only if he can hit the fader at a 60%+ clip. Domask certainly spent some time learning that shot. BH shot about a dozen that I recall and maybe hit one...possibly two.
