Only options for Hatch are medical redshirt or stay on scholarship. Once he has a scholarship, even if he paid his way he'd count as a scholarship player.

I think it would be low class to mess with Austin Hatch, and his status on the basketball team.
Michigan has received a lot of goodwill for what they've done, and they shouldn't mess with that."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"Comment

2016 C Austin Davis commits. He has some good long term potential, but I don't get taking this commit, especially with Teske already in the fold.Comment

He looks like a load and averaged 26 points and 17 rebounds in Class B this past year. Probably an Even-with-the-rim player but a guy that sounds like he's improving. Pretty typical of a Beilein big but he's already got college size at 6'10", 250. From the looks of him, he reminds me of Tyler Hansborough, albeit a poor man's version at this point.Comment

Kind of your typical 6'10" guy (save the camo shorts) vs. 6'5"-6'7" guys highlights but here are some:

If you're into the full game experience, here's Davis' last game of this year. He's going up against 6'8" Nick Perkins, who is a senior heading to Buffalo.

There's got to be a big leaving. Donnal is my guess, which is too bad. Otherwise taking a commit from this kid makes zero sense.Comment

I don't think that's true. I've seen it suggested at more than a couple places he could go to walk on status for a year or two and pay his own way.Originally posted by WM Wolverine View PostComment

Either way, Hatch won't be contributing. Letting him take up a scholarship is the equivalent of putting yourself on probation for 4-5 years.Last edited by Hannibal; April 17, 2015, 01:10 PM.Comment

Agreed. It was really cool that U of M stuck to their commit like that but it's about time to do what's best for the program. Either way it's a win win. If they get his scholarship they win and if they stick with him it just makes the program look even more like a upstanding institution.Originally posted by Hannibal View PostF#*K OHIO!!!

As I understand it, there's not a way to pay Hatch's way without keeping him on scholarship. Either he pays or Michigan uses a scholarship.
Anyhow, yeah -- surely somebody's leaving. Donnal was definitely disappointing, but going into the season with Doyle as our only experienced big would be exceptionally frustrating, completely avoidable, and risks ruining a very high-expectations year. You guys better hope Donnal stays because otherwise I'll be bitching about this anti-bigs bias in the program on a regular basis. With bigs, even if he can get to competence that'll be a big contribution.Comment

You bitching is the least unpleasant consequence of Beilein losing yet another player.Comment

Heh. You might actually rather it this way, I suspect...Comment
