I feel really good about our squad in the tournament. None of the potential 2/3 seeds are particularly concerning to me

Classy move by Jordan subbing to get a senior in the game with 26 seconds. I mean I still thought the game could be in doubt! Now subbing freely with 13 sec. Props to LaVall Jordan and the Butler Bulldogs! WOW!

The 8/9 seeds scare me more. I guess it’s just cause a loss to one of those teams would suck. I’d feel like we’re ina great position playing any of the 2 seeds in the elite 8

Fans should never, ever, ever direct any comments at a player personally. Chatting about them on a message board is one thing as long as it is measured.
The issue with JC, who we need to know is just a teenager, was the way he lead the school on and then his laughable reason for going to ASU being about his brand.
He’s a good player and I wish him well…on the court, not sure about the brand.

I don’t think he ever said he was going to ASU for brand reasons. The brand thing is something he talked about a lot but obviously ultimately he decided family was more important. So the brand thing is funny but a little silly

That’s not the issue with JC, the issue with JC is our grown arse fans won’t act grown.
He chose a different school, that is all

Yeah, I don’t get the Josh C hate on here. He chose to play at a school closer to home that his brother plays for DURING A PANDEMIC.

I mean, the issue was he was clearly intentionally leaking/telling the coaching staff that he was coming to Michigan (a confident national media consensus doesn’t happen out of nowhere… and we have our own John Miller as as source too), when that was never the intention. IMO, that’s a pretty childish/annoying thing to do.
I think it’s fair for him to be subject of a little chirping online (high-major college players are public figures after all). I’d agree that there is definitely a line with it that shouldn’t be crossed (vulgarity, violent threats, @ing him directly, etc.) but a little siht-talking on a message board is within the bounds of fine discourse I think.

Bottom line: JC’s decision turned out to be best for UM, and worst for him or his brand. I am sure he regrets it, but there is no reason for us, UM fans to have sour grape feelings.
Agree about Michigan. Not sure if he regrets it since he is playing a ton of minutes and with his brother. Not going to the tournament and not getting very good coaching suck, but still getting some of what he wanted.

No sour grape. his decision at least doesn’t hurt Michigan but he still could’ve been a valuable addition to the current roster. Certainly didn’t work out for his brand.
I wouldn’t regret spending an extra year with my brother during a global pandemic. People have different priorities. He’s still going to be a first round pick. Can we not make comments like this? Only he knows why he made the decision that he did.

Apparently, Dan Dakich has left Twitter. It’s trending.

One less troll on that platform. Only about several hundred million more til it’s all cleaned up lol
I actually really like Twitter. But I avoid reading comments under tweets, which is where the real psychos dwell
I have an innate inability to ignore that stuff, so I deleted the whole thing. Facebook went a while ago. Trying to rid myself of Reddit next, but I might just switch to browsing while logged out. Rarely does something on here get me genuinely heated so I think UMHoops.com is safe for me to keep posting on lol.

For a man who hoped to remain gainfully employed for at least a little while longer. . . good idea.
Does anyone know what Dakich actually said (or did) that led to him deleting his Twitter…and apparently also this:

I just read the replies. No one knows what he did?
I literally just came here to see if anyone could find out what this Dan Dakich thing is all about. Really strange.
He was included in some person’s collage of national pundits saying Jalen Johnson quit on his team (in a ‘calling them out’ way) and responded in a very Dan Dakich manner. Just a bunch of old, crappy-ish takes on the matter. We all know Dakich’s opinion on it.
The bigger problem to some, which I’m kinda meh on and think people are more mad because it’s Dakich than anything truly terrible, came when some other people came in to argue against Dakich and he said that they were ‘bitching’ about the matter, which was interpreted as sexist since one of the people he was arguing with was female. He then got accused of doxxing one of the people by spelling his name out on his radio show.
