I'd like to have Roby back with the Mayor to help.  I think the kid is athletic (can run) enough to play in the new system.

But, I'm not that impressed with his ball and shooting skills.  A little surprised the NBA thinks he can play at that level at this time.

Seems like Howard's strategy is to be program CEO, and surround himself with guys who know how to be head coaches.  The rumored offers out there are for Mike Miller (not the NBA player), who has 13 years of D1 head coaching experience at Eastern Illinois and Texas State, and was more recently NBA G League Coach of the Year two years ago, and the recently fired Phil Martelli from St. Joseph's.

Gavitt Games are announced. Michigan got what appears to be a favorable matchup with Creighton at home. However, the others appear to be not so favorable except DePaul @ Iowa and Sparty @ Seton Hall 
Seton Hall is supposed to be good this year.  CBS has them #10 in their Top 25 +1; Jon Rothstein did revised rankings this morning to factor in the final draft list, and had them #12; ESPN has them #11

I heard about Martelli being offered before it was widely reported through someone I knew growing up (he actually lives/lived near my parents' house where I grew up). I'm definitely not a fan of hiring both of them unless one (and preferably both) of them is an unofficial (ie. non-recruiting) assistant.

It sounds like he would've kept Yaklich, but he didn't want to stay for whatever reason. I'm glad Washington is retained, though. Supposedly, Haynes will be replaced by a guard-focused NBA assistant (Eisley is getting the most attention).

Nothing particularly noteworthy from today's press conference. I will say I was actually impressed with how Manuel answered some questions about why the banners won't return and the risk of hiring Howard compared to an experienced head coach. I still think he could do more as AD (I'd argue he's too behind the scenes unlike Brandon who tried to do too much and made a bunch of stupid decisions), but he answered the questions very directly to his credit.

Per Matt Norlander of CBS, Martelli is a done deal now

Beilein, Yak gone - tough to really figure out what Michigan is or how they'll look.

3 point line back to international length, shot clock only resetting to 20 on offensive rebounds, and coaches allowed to call timeouts in final 2 minutes of halves.  Hey the NCAA ever getting 2 out of 3 right is a win
