Franz Wagner to announce decision sooner or later

We are lucky to have you here in that role.

I donā€™t really see how pursuing Tillman or not would have to do with Wagner. Michigan has 3 scholarships open and needs players. It isnā€™t like thereā€™s one spot.

While I donā€™t know the answer, I can certainly think of reasons why the two might be connected. It might be that Michigan feels comfortable with 11 (including Wagner) and some spots left for a big class next year. It might be that bringing in another 6ā€™7" kid, and one who has proven himself in college to boot might spook Wagner. I agree that Michigan could, and in my mind, likely should, go after both, but theyā€™re seemingly not going hard after Tillman, and if the staff isnā€™t very confident that Wagner is coming (assuming he qualifies), it seems likely that we would be beating down the door for Tillman, since everyone agrees that we need at least 1 more guy on the roster for next year.

I just assume the recruitment of Donnie Tillman has more to do with what Michigan thinks of Donnie Tillman. He doesnā€™t play any where near the same kind of role that Franz would be playing, but I guess they could be trying not to scare off Franz, just seems a bit like wishful thinking to me.

The larger point that I was trying to make is that even if Michigan was holding off on Tillman until it heard about Franz, it wouldnā€™t necessarily mean good news. Or bad news for that matter.

I feel like a kid stuck in the back of a car on a long road trip.

Are we there yet?

In the end just another idle threat from another exasperated parentā€¦

Mo to the Wizards.

Iā€™ll admit it: I get existed when I see there are new posts in this thread. Especially when thereā€™s 5 or more.

YES! Iā€™ve been looking for a reason to root for the Wizards. Hachimura and Wagner will do it.

Southwest offers good flight deals between Detroit and DC. Please pass on word, The Truth.

Good luck to MOE! Iā€™m not a big Wizards fanā€¦very limited Ball movement from what Iā€™ve seen.

I feel like the longer this has gone, the more optimistic I am with him coming to Michigan. If he wanted to stay at Alba, wouldnā€™t he have already committed to stay with them following Sunday? Could this wait just be an academic office/admissions thing?

I cautiously agree with this possibility.

Heā€™s waiting for July 4th. Heā€™ll announce heā€™s coming to America on the same day our country celebrates winning its independence from Germany. Yep, thatā€™s definitely it.
