I got to watch my first Michigan Basketball game of the season last night. This will be an interesting team. They are very deep, have a ton of shooters but a bit questionable on defense. They are very athletic as well, any guy could go for 20 points any given night.
Walton played great and Duncan Robinson was perfect from 3 point range. Caris, Spike and Zak are still clearly rusty from their off season injuries. Once those guys hit their stride, this could be a very difficult team to play. I also have concerns at the 5 as Wagner is very raw and Donnal seems to have a confidence problem near the rim. Doyle seems to be the only serviceable big at the moment.
(Donnal is more of a forward but found himself at the 5 a few times last night)
- Rashan Gary's mom said that she expects a family trip to Ann Arbor in January before signing day. That seems like a very positive sign for the Wolverines. If Gary announces at a All Star game that would before his scheduled 4th trip to Ann Arbor. This probably means he is thinking more of a signing day announcement.
- Sounds like Auburn has jumped into the top 3 for Devin Bush. Jr., Michigan and FSU are the other two.
- Kingston Davis visited Louisville over the weekend and Kareem Walker is planning a visit to Auburn.
Coach Speak: A couple of highlights from Jim's press conference yesterday:
- With depth issues on the line, Strobel and Poggi are now two way players.
- DT Bryan Mone who got hurt in fall camp, might be available. Many of us expected him to redshirt, would they play him with only 3 games to go?
- Derrick Green didn't travel last week and has an injury.
- Rudock and Chesson were co-offensive players of the week for the Big Ten
- Rudock won the National Walter Camp Player of the Week
