No. I think it also says something that his list includes some shady programs. I watched a lot of Georgetown last year and liked what I saw from him on the court, but that does not sound like it would’ve been a good situation for Michigan.
I’m not thrilled about Eastern having one foot in AA and another (imaginary) foot in the NBA either. As long as he’s not making any positional demands, however, it’s less unappealing.
I always thought Brazdeikis was planning to be a one-and-done from the moment he arrived, but at least he didn’t explicitly say so publicly and I don’t get the sense that he was a bad teammate. He must have ticked Beilein’s box of unpacking his bags.
I’ve likewise always expected Franz to be here for two years. His skill level was such that I didn’t think he’d be around as long as his brother, but it also seemed clear that he wanted the life experience of attending university in the US for at least a couple of years or he would have stayed in Germany.
