…and he’s not even really a Senior.
Not sure I believe Iggy is 10 pounds less than Johns and only 10 pounds more than Nunez
It’s his 4th year in college right?
The thing that stands out to me the most is actually Austin Davis. Listed as a Jr. I know that he has two years of eligibility after this season, but it really should be a make or break season for him. JMo had rounded into form by his Jr year and that is what I would hope for Davis. I am excited to see how the minutes get spread around at the 5 this year
All players are listed as their actual year in school without any redshirts taken into account. I think that is something Michigan does for football too. I think Matthews being listed as a senior is telling though, the plan is for this to be his final year at Michigan.

Yes! Let’s get in to a 100 response thread argument about what class Matthews should identify with!

He can identify in any way he wants. It’s 2018

Is there really an argument here? Michigan lists players by the number of years they’ve been in college. FR|SO|JR|SR|GRAD.

Yeah I realize the protocol being taken. I guess more than anything it just didnt feel like this will be Austin Davis’s 3rd year in the program and that this should be a pretty pivotal year for him IMO

The real issue for Michigan is whether it can get “senior leadership” out of Matthews. I’m very hopeful that it will.
I like to see Poole at 6’5", that’s good height at the 2.
For comparison regarding whether Livers and Johns could play at center, Roby at Nebraska is listed at 6’8" 226 lbs – basically the same as Johns.
I am honestly surprised Teske is only 260, he looked absolutely massive in some pictures this off season. His calf’s are humongous.
Can Beilein even dunk!?!?

Pushed around, outsmarted, outshot, outcoached, and outclassed. This is the best timeline!

I wish Zack and Stu could come back for sixth years.
Its long been established from the scientific analysis of the light pole picture on campus that JB is 7’-10"… One of my favorite’s!
Go Blue!
Seriously, I am so pumped for this team! To me, Charles is already a leader, I loved playing with guys on my team who had an edge, they’ve got your back. I’ve said it in prior posts, that day at Breslin will always stick out when he went right at Ward! That’s leading by doing in a subtle way! Second favorite leadership moment…Z Novak…bleeding in the post game interview! Priceless!

Ah, the fun of over-analyzing heights and weights when we all know that most of them are probably false anyway. To me you really have to squint to learn anything from this. For example - we know Simpson isn’t 6’0" so they are probably fudging some heights as is the common practice for all teams/sports. But if that’s the case and they STILL list Castleton only at 210…wow. He might be 170 pounds!

Matthews and Wagner punked Ward so hard last year.
I was surprised how strong Teske’s lower body was last year and it is only going to get stronger. I just rewatched the UM/MSU games and man, Nick Ward does not look like he is having fun trying to push Teske around.
