Michigan's Basketball staff is starting to come together under Juwan Howard. The bad news is, reports are that Luke Yaklich is going to accept an offer by Shaka Smart and head to Texas as their DC. The good news is, Saddi Washington is expected to stay on staff.
Many fans were hoping Luke would stay, but Juwan is a defensive head coach and their skills sets may overlap. Luke has a senior in high school (next year) so this can't be an easy decision for he and his family. Its not completely done, but if it happens, we wish him the best of luck in Austin. This will also allow Juwan to add some of his own coaching staff which could be a long term benefit as well.
As reported a couple days ago, Jon Sanderson the S&C coach was also retained.
Juwan will be announced at a press conference tomorrow at 11:50, it will be streamed on Mgoblue.
- Ed Cooley said it was very hard to turn down Michigan. Let me be the first to say, Thank you Ed for doing that! I still question if he had an offer.
- Jaevin Cumberland the Oakland transfer is reportedly down to Michigan and Cincinnati. His cousin Jarron has decided not to enter the NBA Draft and head back to UC. Which seems to point to Jaevin leaning heavy towards the Bearcats, who also have a new head coach.

Regarding Ed Cooley, how can you turn down something that was never actually offered to you? You can't! It's like me saying that it was really hard for me to turn down Halle Berry when she never even offered anything. It was really hard for me to turn down the Michigan basketball job myself, winning the Oscar and Golden Globe, the Detroit Lions coaching position, etc. etc. (even though they weren't actually offered). So I guess I know how he feels. Boy, do I feel special. IMHO!!!
