My opinions of Matt Vogrich mostly echo what has been said on this site previously. Vogrich will make his biggest impact offensively to start, with a skill set similar to that of Stu Douglass. He has good shooting touch, good range, and he sees the floor well. He made a number of sharp passes setting up his teammates for easy looks. Vogrich was guarded man-to-man most of the night, and he did a nice job of driving throughout the game. However, he does not possess elite athleticism and was not quick enough to "blow by" his defender. He drew a number of hand-check fouls while driving, but struggled in getting to the free throw line. Defensively, Vogrich is going to need some serious work. A college strength program will help, but he was often in a poor defensive stance and misplayed a couple defensive switches. In general, Lake Forest was out of synch defensively, leaving Brandon Paul wide-open on a couple possessions. Vogrich scored 15 points, while having one of his worst shooting games of the year. Brandon Paul had 18 points at the half, finished with 29 and was the best player on the floor all night. Paul's ability to physically dominate was the difference in the game. He was able to get the shots that he wanted, both inside and outside. I would have liked to see Vogrich demand the ball like Paul did, but I also would have liked Lake Forest to look for Vogrich more often. It's a shame Lake Forest's season had to end with a mild upset loss, but Matt Vogrich and the entire team should feel great about a very successful season. Looking short-term to the 2009-2010 Michigan season, Vogrich should be able to add depth behind Stu and LLP at shooting guard. Hopefully Vogrich (like Stu) learns he'll have to improve defensively if he wants to see the floor consistently. He should fit nicely into the Michigan offense, especially with his 3-point shooting and good vision in the half-court. Vogrich won't get to the line 8 times per game like Manny, but he has the ability to score off the bounce (something Michigan definitely needs more of). Overall, Matt Vogrich should add backcourt depth immediately, and I'm very excited to see him develop as a player under John Beilien. In his senior season Vogrich truly became a scorer instead of just a shooter, and his game should continue to improve over the next 4 years.

It sounds like U-M is in good shape with Will Regan and Alex Dragicevich-- does Michigan wait on Ziegler because he's in-state or do they tell Ziegler, Casey Prather and Tim Hardaway Jr., we have one scholarship left, first come first serve ?

That put them out off the bubble if they haven't already. St. John's winning over Georgetown. Not sure if Georgetown's bubble already has been burst but we'll say they're still on the bubble team for the time being. Cincy fall to DePaul. wtf.
