you gotta figure everybody who is returning is going to be better …….if stu and llp can step their games up this could be a very good team……..very excited to see the improvements

I actually forgot about LLP for some reason. I like that pick. Also, there’s a great write up below by MIKE HUGUENIN about coach Beilein when asked who’s the best sideline tactician.

I’d vote for LLP. I really think sitting out for an entire year hurt him last year. I had heard the same thing as everyone else prior to the Oakland game, but he just seemed a bit off the entire 2nd semester. He had some moments, and even won a huge game for us, but overall he was off. I bet he slows down this year, gets his feet under him, and gets his swerve on.

I agree Ben. Stu should have a great season. Also, I think LLP will have a good season too.

I have a feeling Darius Morris will be very good player this year but my pick for returning players is Stu, reports are he has bulked up and is looking good in practice

Interesting how Slam magazine has us at 19th, behind four other Big Ten schools but says we could finish 2nd in the conference.

I really don’t see how Minnesota warrants a spot above us…

It make sense that Eso could be the specialist to back up Manny, maybe he will compete with Ant for the 5 minutes.

I’m glad to see Ellerbe get the, uh, recognition he deserves. One goof though: he didn’t recruit Taylor or Traylor. He was floundering at Loyola (Md.) at the time.

I know we are a long way away from Petway and Amaker (and eventhough I did like Amaker as a person) that is definitely good news. I found a pretty cool recent video on Petway (Beilein would have had a good time with some backdoor passes to Petway).

I’m definitely really psyched for this season. Who’s everyone’s breakout player?? I think I’m going to pick Novak. I think he’s going to score a lot more this year than last. Go Blue!

good article on Trey by Sam Webb, sounds like he wants to pick his school sooner then later, but My prediction is we get prather or zeigler
