Deshawn Sims what can you say-my favorite player by a mile. Compare him to that do nothing Maurice Taylor of the earlier era. Tell me Deshawn can't be an NBAer. I thought it was kind of sad to see Hardaway sitting there all by himself. Do they have an open gym with the recruits during their visit? I never thought they would bear Duke-not in a million years.

I don't have any plans to do any kind of print publication right now. Got my hands full with just this. It would be cool to do down the line though. Ky Fox: There is TheWolverine and GoBlueWolverine.

I don't think he leaves, and every time I hear that he is a candidate for a job elsewhere I think of it as the most preposterous bullshit ever. However, for the last few years I've thought that Izzo has either grown complacent, or at least has become tired of being the head coach at MSU. He's revered as a god there though. With all that being said I highly doubt that this is true, and the part where he says "calls were not returned" by the respective AD's makes this sounds like a travesty of "journalism."

Much like MSU has spartanmag. Or is there already an outfit that does that? Something that might be a little more personal to UM hoops.

I feel like a baby. I cant give enough credit to JB!! We all talk about having Peedi and Manny just step up and carry this team...and they did but let me tell you there is no way they are that mentaly tough or as skilled(Novak=FR, GRADY=SO, SHEPHERD=lost without a cause) as we are today without the help and teaching of John Beilein. We all have seen what coaches can do. They can either make you better, keep you stagnant, or make you worse. From the days of Amaker we seen how we could bring in top tier recruits but subsequently watch their skill levels go to the wayside, not to mention a mental state that was as fragile as my 90 year old grandma. On the flip side in the new era of UM hoops we see a guy who extracts the absolute most potential and skill from a kid that is humanly possible, and raises theyre level of confidence, poise, inner self worth, along with a bit of pride and makes winners out of everyone involved. I am so DAMN proud of this program and SO DAMN proud and thankful for John Beilein!! I know there is a lot of basketball left to be played, but in my eyes John Beilein has put UM hoops back on the map and is building something very very special here in AA. I am so happy with the crowd and the support and caring concern even from all of us on this site/blog. Dylan you do a fabulous job and have made UM basketball something to get involved with and be excited about. Guys I know this is a huge step for our program, but there are even brighter days yet to come for this GREAT TO BE A MICHIGAN WOLVERINE family!! and as always...GO BLUE gosh darn it!!!

Sure, Manny and Peedi played phenomenal, but at the same time a lot of our players are still coming out of their shells. Imagine the game when both Novak and STUd are knocking down 3's, Cronin is healthy and distributing from the high post, and LLP is tearing up opposing guards... Yeah, it's official: we can beat anybody Looking back at the game, we played one of the greatest games of all-time, but we still aren’t even CLOSE to our ceiling yet.
