Soxbadger Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Of course he is, by the end of it all he may be in the running for the #2 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Evan Smotrycz leaving Michigan. Beilein jerked him around this year. Went a few games without even playing and was rather versatile. Good role player and with Michigans lack of a post guy this year, he should of been in there 25 minutes a game. Hopefully I won't miss him next year with that class coming in.

I certainly hope coaches who feel free to leave whenever they feel like it wouldn't have a problem with another school talking with their better players about perhaps a better opportunity.

ZoomSlowik Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 It always confused me that Smotrycz didn't play more, he's basically the perfect fit for a Princeton offense 4-man. Carmody would probably murder a litter of puppies to get that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can't do anything with this next class coming in, I'd say it's time to find someone else, but that won't happen since he has made Michigan basketball some what relevant again.

Their backcourt should be pretty solid with Sobolewski/Cobb hopefully healthy/Crawford and a couple other serviceable guys on the bench, but the frontcourt is completely unproven. Sure, I'd take unproven over proven crap at the center spot, but losing Shurna could be a really tough adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Anybody else incredibly bored by this year's tourney? The Duke/Missouri upsets were fun (for some of us), but with no buzzer beaters, no great individual performances, it feels like this tourney has been pretty blah so far.

Most games have been decided pretty early. And I don't think there's been a single buzzer beater or near buzzer beater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, I was just thinking that today. Here's hoping IU can stun everyone again tonight. Actually, I think this win would be more shocking than the first, if only because of the "Kentucky out for revenge" angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
