Now it's entirely possible our front court is Doke, Mac, Lightfoot, and De Sousa for this season. It would be pretty tough for someone else to get PT, and that's probably a top 5 front court this year.
Too 5???? Shit, that’s easily the best in the sport. Embarrassment of Riches
If Dotson returns we are a surefire top 8 team. [Reply]

Im happy Doke is back....but I’m not relying on him to play a full season. He’s missed time with 4 injuries in 3 seasons (including 2 season ending injuries).
The appeal has a specific timeline, and isn't in the mainline NCAA process that can take as long as they want it to take. We'll know shortly. [Reply]

correct thread

If you don't know who the other kid is, it's Jalen Wilson. Who had committed to Michigan before Beilein left for the Cavs. Big time shooter and best friends w/ RJ Hampton. I mean literally best friends with Hampton.
And just 8 hours ago requested a release from his Michigan shollie commitment.
