I agree, and the Covid chaos probably means that it will be slower and that a lot of players will take a wait-and-see for now. The only difference would be if all hell breaks loose on May 20th, who knows?
Iāll believe that when I see it. Kansas will assuredly fight, appeal etc. A final decision could be a loooong way off.

He was always destined for Michigan!
Hey Iād take him for sure. Would be quite the story if he ends up playing for Michigan in the year 2021. He was kinda efficient for an absolutely terrible offense with an awful coach last year. Would assuage a lot of my depth fears at the 2/3 for sure.
I hope Juwan can sell him on competing with Smith as the other starter in the backcourt with Brooks. That seems like a pretty solid opportunity. Donāt know what the others have to offer in that respect. We definitely have geography on our side.

Jalen Coleman replacing Cole Bajema would be peak UMHoops message board fodder.

The single greatest thread in UMhoops history

That thread is pretty funny to go back to
Especially funny because JC has become nothing but a jump shooter which everyone was bemoaning about Duncan

I mean Duncan was only a shooter also. But yeah.
Having re-read that entire thread, it now being several years later, and revisionist history notwithstanding, is there anyone out there who can reveal WHY Jalen Coleman-Lands elected not to commit to Michigan when he had the opportunity?

It was weird, I remember he had an unofficial set up that he was supposedly going commit on then canceled it and beilein stopped recruiting him. Same thing happened with Trevon Bluiett.

Yeah I meant because the implication was that JCL would be something more than Duncan as far as other skills, but now heās just a shorter worse shooting version of Duncan

Heās a bucketā¦ Newark kidā¦ would be a nice possibility as a transfer for whoever gets him but has declared without an agent I believe. First team all-AMEast this season.

If Olaniyi grad transfers and is interested, heās an instant take imo.

Not sure if they have scholarships available, but I wouldnāt be surprised if Rutgers got involved in this one considering Pikiell recruited him to Stony Brook.

Oh my! Good shooter and driver! Love the highlights against a mix of teams including some in the Top 15

Low major jump to Power-Conference ā¦ doesnāt usually work out well.
Youāre not wrong, but I donāt think thereās a whole lot to lose taking on a player like Olaniyi for a year when he has a diverse skillset and thereās not exactly tons of guards out there to choose from.
