He also loved doner kebabs, though.

is it reasonable to expect him to be a one-done? two and done?
Heās very young (turns 18 in August) so it is tough to define those expectations. The way Iād look at it is that heās on the radar if/when he arrives. That means if he plays well, his decision at the end of the year will only get harder. His youth probably means he doesnāt have to rush, though (unlike Iggy, for example).

lol, I remember him bringing it up in an interview and found it hilarious. IMO Doner kebabs > Chipotle. One of you Ann Arbor folks should open up a joint and we can keep this German pipeline going

We have a food truck here in Houston that sells the real deal, called Beeezzz Doner and Kebab. It is literally the only place Iāve found that does the ole Turkish Doner wraps. Sooooo good! With the popularity of Schwarma and Gyro Iām shocked we donāt have more here in the states. But alasā¦ it remains elusive. We need to find some though as a welcome gift to Franz when he comes

There must be in most major cities. DC and Baltimore have Berlin-style fast-casual places. Pretty sure I also saw one yesterday in the burbs between the two cities. They arenāt that good though. That stuff, in Berlin, is so damn good.
Try Ottoman Taverna in Chinatown/Mount Vernon if youāre in the area.
Realistically will there be an announcement from him in the next 24 Hours? Doesnāt Michigan start practicing soon?

If you donāt take the SAT then you have no decision to make - you canāt play in college. So you actually do need to take it if youāre undecided.

A non-zero chance he makes his announcement on campus? I can see him doing that.
I was alluding to the fact that I would make my decision before I take the SAT. I wouldnāt take that test unless I decided Iām going to Michigan, and if I pass/grades hold up, Iām going to college. I would have my mind made up ahead of it because thatās a whole lot of work/prep if I decide not to go to college.
I understand timing and needing to take it when deciding later. I just personally couldnāt fathom being undecided enough to have to take it. I assume he had to prep some given English is a second language.

I donāt know the timing of the test, so maybe he had to take it before he could talk to Juwan and the new coaches. If that was the case, I obviously agree it was something he definitely had to do to keep the door open.
Iām just saying I feel like it shows heās leaning toward Michigan by taking the test. If youāre undecided enough to take the test, seems like youāre leaning one way over the other.
Yeah, I get that taking the SAT probably sucks but if he is undecided on the last date that he can take the test then he needs to still take the test to keep his options open.

Dylan do you think we will find out by Friday?
Yes, there is rule you must take the SAT/ACT before taking an official visit. Hence, I know he skipped a practice to take and it had to be taken before his official. Otherwise his trip to town can only count as an unofficial.
Ah if thatās the case then obviously makes sense. I had the thought he took it recently after the visit, presumably after Howard was hired. If he took it prior to the visit, he obviously had to do it (plus he was expecting Beilein as the coach).
Iām not positive but I think that rule might have been changed when the official visit rules were updated.

Iām under the impression he has taken the SAT(maybe when he previously visited) with his paperwork already into admissions. Maybe he will just show up. Seems like something like this may have happened with brother Moritz. At least we all know ahead of time his last name is pronounced Vagner as if it was spelled with a " V" instead of a āWā.
Bear in mind Franz doesnāt need to ace his SAT. The minimum score he needs is quite low. Based on Moeās experience, he may know there will be no problem at all in passing. Worst case scenario is he plays at Alba. I wouldnāt assume he feels the stress about taking the test that you might.
