But Will Robinson was the best of the bunch, especially with the Robot in the post!

DANGER WILL ROBINSON!

Smot, Brundidge and Colton Christian are all transferring.


That solves any logjams in the frontcourt. Smot is the only one that surprises me but I really thought he was going to have to do a lot to not lose PT.

Tough way to end his Michigan career. I blocked lay-up and a game-ending turnover down the stretch, after he'd played a good game.

I think he'll make some program happy, maybe closer to home like Boston College?

Both Brundidge and CC can play big roles at a mid-level place, although CC may never be starter material.

We'll see if Carlton lives up to his H.S. ranking somewhere else. It's tough to be an undersized 2 in big time college basketball.

Good luck to them all- I wish them well.

I guess Trey Zeigler could be on the table again. Can he play some PG?

It is odd to see Brundidge go when he should have recieved playing time next year with Douglas and Novak gone. I'm thinking there was a divide between the old school (Novak/Stu) and the New School (Burke,Hardway). Now that the old school is gone, Smot bailed.

Smot is surprising. The other two are addition by subtraction.

I think Stauskas would've leap-frogged Brundidge on the depth chart. CB may have had a chance to back-up Burke but his PG skills didn't seem too strong.


Of course....this could put a monkey wrench in EVERYTHING:

[lions&tigers&wings...yea]

lol that would suck, but I don't see how he could go in the first round

[*JD*]

I don't either. He's just too small to ever be a high lottery pick but I could see him being a 1st rounder if he came back next year and the team made a deep run in the tourney.

His assist numbers could double next year with the horses that are coming in.

Nothing cuter than little brother still pre-occupied with big brother, even with all the success, the inferior complex is still alive and well.

I wouldn't lower myself to trolling an MSU thread. Then again, Im not a sparty, lol

Walter Football does have Trey going #16....in next year's draft.

WalterFootball.com: 2013 NBA Mock Draft

[jaadam4]

Trey is looking at this years draft according to the freep.. Oh man that would REALLY REALLY hurt. I figured at his size he'd stay for at least 3 years.

wow

[Whitley]

Nothing wrong with considering your options. Hard to see Burke getting a first round slot though. I think the rule is if you look into it and go through the camps and all that then you have to stay through your junior season?

[DanO]

I think Burke is stupid if he goes.

[jaadam4]

You and me both DanO.

I thought we had a few years before this would come up.

[froot loops]

Burke is better than Manny Harris and Darius Morris, this comes with the territory when you get better players.

[jaadam4]

True but at 5'11 180 I figured that type of frame generally doesnt equate well into the NBA.

Which it doesnt. He needs to keep his ass at U of M for 2-3 more years. This is retarded to leave this early.
