The Wagner brothers will be UM hoop legend forever. Not sure if Moe graduated but I believe that both of them will have their Michigan degrees some day.

This feels right. Another year would have been so wonderful, and itâs crazy to ponder that the Wagners have come and gone already, one of them without getting to play in multiple offseasons, but time flies and we had a heck of a lot of fun. Looking forward to seeing Franz tap into that crazy upside he has as a pro.
Someday Dylan will get a vacation without a big story dropping in the middle.

This. X100. Just an important moment in Juwanâs early tenure. And gave us so much excitement for two years.
Really appreciate Franz and will be closely following his NBA career.

We have former Michigan assistants plus current assistant to thank for because they kept recruiting Franz when Michigan basketball was in limbo. Without their effort, I donât think Michigan wouldâve gotten Franz.

âWagner is the second in his family to leave the Wolverines after his sophomore season.â
Itâs just a little oversight, I know. And this time not the kind that will spread a fatal disease and get the whole AD shut down for three weeks. Still. FFS. The athletes pursue excellence; the administration should at least aim for competence. Get the basic facts right about your program legends.

Just read his Players Tribune piece. An eloquent and graceful last act.

We knew it was coming. Glad he gets to go on, and Iâm happy for him. With his unique skill set, particularly his subtle but massive defensive impact that required close attention to appreciate, he was both fun and rewarding to watch.

Good for Franz. Staying another year never made any sense to me.
I too knew he would probably declare also. Just making for fun discussion for you guys in this long off season. I think the final roster is now set for the 21/22 season. Letâs go for the great 22 class. Go Blue.

Franz Wagner truly knows how great it is to be a Michigan Wolverine. Hey at @ therealmirman since it sounds like you now Franz personally please let him know how this board feels and how we appreciated him these 2 years. I hope Franz has access to this site to read all these great comments. You will truly be missed.
If he reads just one I hope its Silverblueâs. That says it all.

Love Franz and will always appreciate him. Loved his passion and the way he played the game.
I think most of all, I will just appreciate his initial choice to come to Michigan in the first place. I recall his official visit happened when we literally had no coach and he was being shown around by assistants who didnât even know if they would still be at UM themselves. Most people on this forum assumed we had no chance with him. So for him to take that leap of faith and be such a critical figure in Juwanâs first 2 years is something we should all appreciate.

He was literally in the airport in Berlin when the news about JB dropped IIRC

This sort of thing irritates me a lot as a fan.
ESPN and CBS writers make these errors with regularity, and as a close follower of college basketball, it angers me that people who are paid to know these things donât even check basic facts before publishing.

Good point. Definitely harder to get it right as media when the official press release fails to do soâŚ

Will definitely miss watching him play in maize and blue. Awfully grateful he took a chance on Juwan. Coming into the 2019-20 season we were losing our top 3 wings/scorers early to the NBA and our top forward recruit after Beilein left. Getting Franz definitely helped the transition as others said. That season couldâve been pretty ugly without him.
Heâs still younger than some of the guys going at the top of the draft so heâs got so much room to grow. If he can find a consistent jump shot, heâll be one of the better pros this program has produced recently.

Yeah, although it made me sad, it would have made me mad at Franz if he risked his golden ticket. Heâs already got one, he had to go.

Damn, wish I did lol. I just know someone who knows someone who knows him 
The chain happens to be solid when it comes to certain tidbits theyâre kind enough to share but the price of info is respecting the request to zip it!
