Michigan Friday: Welcomes Back Livers

Fox

Isaiah Livers has decided to take his name out of the NBA draft and return for his senior year!!

“What a crazy couple of months. However, I have learned a great deal from this process, and I’m extremely excited to return to Ann Arbor,” Livers said in a statement provided by Michigan.

"My family and I are so appreciative of Coach Howard and all the staff for letting us really explore my dream of playing in the NBA. While it was a limited process due to COVID-19, I want to thank all the NBA teams who took the time to talk to me. The information I gathered is going to be invaluable moving forward. But now, we have unfinished business in Ann Arbor. I cannot wait to do everything I can and help lead this team to great things.”

This is a good move for Livers as he wasn't ranked in the drafted-able range and would have needed a strong combine and team workouts to get drafted.   Since those opportunities are going to be limited due to the virus, this is the smart decision and one that was expected.

• 4 Star Belleville LB Jamari Buddin has committed to Penn State.  Michigan has been frozen out of that school due to a stupid feud between Jimmy and their head coach.   

• Michigan could lose close to $100M if football is cancelled.  Fun times!
