Every team has injuries, and last year was very unfortunate. The way this team seems to be crumbling is unforgiveable, and the defense has been atrocious the past three games. I've been on his back for two years, but like with Carr, I think they are content with Amaker not to fuck things up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-1139562249271710742006-02-10T04:04:00.000-05:002006-02-10T04:04:00.000-05:00I think Maryland is a good comparison but Maryland...I think Maryland is a good comparison but Maryland went to the NCAA Tournament its first year off of probation under Williams and didn't miss it until last season. At this point, I would gladly take Maryland's path. I just don't see it happening. One or two guys isn't going to get it done. One guy on Michigan gets hurt and the team falls apart. It's not for a lack of effort but rather a lack of talent. Michigan needs big-time players. I think you're right about getting it done without McD's AAs. It's going to take a long, long time. <BR/><BR/>As far as UM's big men for next year, Sims is a jr. so he'll be back. Brown and Hunter will be gone. Petway will be back. So, UM will have one center and one power forward. That could be a problem.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208921021297172480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-1139541507187992362006-02-09T22:18:00.000-05:002006-02-09T22:18:00.000-05:00Just out of curiosity, who will be UM's bigs next ...Just out of curiosity, who will be UM's bigs next year. Aren't Sims, Brown and Hunter all seniors? Can they possibly be good next year with the loss of Horton too, who I might add, is playing like the player I expected when he was a freshman?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-1139446816427287362006-02-08T20:00:00.000-05:002006-02-08T20:00:00.000-05:00How about UM the part about being absent during a...How about UM the part about being absent during an era when turning pro right out of high school became mainstream? Also, the AAU culture went to new levels during the 90s...a terrible time for BE to burn bridges with pretty much everyone in the state of Michigan. BE pissed away the UM brand name bringing in his "national talent." I'm afraid that UM's turnaround will have to be like Maryland's under G Williams...a very slow process that was done under the leadership of a dedicated coach and for the most part without McD's AAs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
