Heard BU wouldn’t promise him the starting job. Wanted a certain NIL number that also wasn’t promised.
Also heard they’re making $ promises they wouldn’t make to Epps to Shannon and Hawkins in attempts to get them back.
Very interesting way to build a roster year in year out.
Sounds like Juwan needs to be making a $ promise to Shannon.

I guess if he’s got an extra year…
Wouldn’t that be something!

But seriously, this is demoralizing. Michigan is unlikely going to be able to land a player the caliber of Epps (a well-below average B10 starter) due to the lack of willingness to make $ promises.

I’m fine with it. They shouldn’t be making money promises.

Not really a fit given hes a point guard, but this is pretty big news. Weird that he started as a freshman at IL and is now leaving…

I mean I would take Epps. He’s as much a combo as he is a true PG. Is he great? no. but at least he’s young and has upside. doubt either side considers it but I wouldn’t turn my nose at him

Isn’t this already Ed Cooley’s?
Totally agreed. I doubt he’s going to a place where he’s not the starting PG though
