UM will be down one of its better players next year. If next year goes south,I wonder how long Manny hangs in there.

Rivals the best of the DrTre11 exclusives, but bound in leather!

I actually heard it from another poster. Nonetheless, its true.

You were right about Mallett, so nobody's going to question this.

This 'if' just goes to show Bukky's maturation. Last year it would've been a 'when'.

I am trying to be congenial.

Nothing on it at the Scout premium board, Mr Sondra Bullock.

Next year went south seven years ago.

When is this nightmare going to end? Different coaches, players, systems, it doesn't matter. Effing laughingstock of college basketball.

Maybe the "all vanilla all the time" lineup of Stuey Douglass, Zack "Morris" Novak, and IchaBen Cronin will turn things around. Shit. [smilie=puke.gif]

Zack "Morris" Novak

Any players that look like AC Slater?

A few things.

1st, when do you expect legit media to report this "news"?

2nd, as vanilla as the incoming class is, the twiggy dunk is something vaginal players like Courtney Sims have long banned from UM, so Cronin will be a nice surprise (assuming he somehow gets the ball inside with only a 5'9", 105 lb reject covering him). And the fact that Douglass and Novak have hit at least one outside shot in their careers immediately makes them better in that category than anyone on the current roster.

Udoh has been transferring since Amaker was dumped. There are some legs to the story, but so far, he's still in school.
Udoh is a product of the murky waters of the AAU shit. If you want an explanation of AAU and how they wrangle college basketball, PM hipdigit, he knows all about it. For now:

I think the "NBA preparation" angle is legit. Bielein wants him to shoot 3s, Udoh knows that will not be his role if he plays in the NBA.

Bielein`s system might be to high school big men with NBA aspirations what RR`s system is to high school QBs with NFL aspirations.

Udoh and NBA should NEVER be mentioned in the same sentence.

He`ll play professionally somewhere (perhaps Europe) and will get a look by the NBA.

based on what? I am a huge UM fan, and for that, trust my judgment more than yours. He has shown NOTHING in two years. He is tall, and you can't take that away from him, but the NBA...come on bukky.

Tell that to Stephen Hunter.

[Edit: Though I have to agree, udoh is a longshot at best...]

Or what bukdow is to message boards.

*SPOILER ALERT*

Bukdow told us all and now he will be back to gloat because he heard something on MLive a few weeks ago and spewed it on us.

I'm happy about this. Udoh went backwards last year and doesn't have what it takes to be productive in this offense. Zach Gibson is a much better fit, and I'm sure Beilein will want to use Cronin plenty. Udoh seriously won't be missed - at least not the Udoh we saw last season.
This opens up a scholarship for us, and there are some decent players looking to use that scholarship.
The only thing that can't be replaced is the shot blocking. He was easily the best shot blocker we had. Cronin has legit height, so maybe he can pick up some of that, but Gibson is not a shot blocker.

Uh oh.

I wonder if this opens up a spot for a European kid to come to Ann Arbor and fill the scholarship. This offense would seem to fit the mold of what we picture most European kids to play like. I wouldn't argue with a 6'10" type kid that could shot some 3's and speak no english.

The only thing that could screw up a kid like that is a woman.

Does Darko have college eligibility?
