Wolverine Wednesday: If Your Keeping Score at Home

NCAA Basketball has become one and done which usually was reserved for talent like Cooper (don't call Kupp) Flagg.  Now its a transfer portal thing and it's hard to know who is and isn't on your team.  


We have to add another name to the Best of Luck list:
  • PG Trey Donaldson - who I expected to jump into the portal when Michigan signed the 5 star UNC point guard Elliot Cadeau.  Trey had an up and down year for the Wolverines.  At the end of the day he had too many turnovers and not enough assist. 
We add another to the Welcome to the Team list:
  • Illinois Freshman F Morez Johnson who averaged 7 points and nearly 7 boards with 1 block a game.  Johnson is 6'9 and is a mid-range shooter.  He did not attempt a 3 this year. 

Maggon Gwath the prized center from SDSU is staying in San Diego and was a Michigan portal prospect.  This is the 2nd big man (Iowa Center) Michigan has missed in the portal.  Johnson above is expected to play more power forward then center next season.

  • Former Michigan WR Tyler Morris has hurt his knee and is out for the year for IU. 
  • Buzz Williams is trying to coach at every Division 1 school and took the Maryland job. 
  • RIP Val Kilmer, AKA Iceman

Did not pay attention to Val Kilmer until I watched
'Thunderheart" ..... he was one of best actors ever ..... his portrayal of Jim Morrison kicks "booty" ..... he knocked it out of the park as "Doc Holiday". It's hard to take how he was a man's man then latest pics showed him as a decrepit old man kills me. I was a beast in my 20's >now I am just a "POS" geezer pleaser! Thanx for your mini eulogy. He pissed fellow actors off because he stayed "in character" off camera. Top of his craft.... if you want to be number one you have to "go for it" and he did!

"Your" is a possessive adjective, indicating ownership or belonging, while "you're" is a contraction of "you are". You're welcome...

I looked and I looked for your and could not find it ..... It drove me kookoo (actually more Kookoo). But I came back determined to find it and it was it title line. Seriously, I make upwards of 8 mistakes every time I write, but that "spell coorection" saves me 95% of the time.
