Dude... That shocked me so much that instead of typing "hammerandrails.com" into my Google address bar, I literally typed "wtf" because I was thinking of replying with "WTF" to you first...

More recent interviews with Livers indicates he'd only stay in the draft with a guaranteed contract (ie. first round pick and limited 2nd rounders in some circumstances), which leads me to believe he'll be back since he's projected to go undrafted by pretty much everyone.

Now there are apparently informed rumors that Todd is just going pro and DeJulius will likely transfer, which would explain why Michigan is looking at grad-transfer point guards. I can't say I'm surprised (or even disappointed) if both turn out to be true, but we'll see...

Surprised at all of these. Dejulius was in line to be the starter next year wasn't he?

Yeah, a lot of these don't make sense

Several updates:

Colin Castleton is also leaving. The hope was he could develop into a similar player as Mo Wagner, but it just didn't happen since he wasn't getting stronger, he was a defensively liability, and he never gained any consistency on offense, either. I wouldn't be surprised if he's successful elsewhere, though, and at least gets a career in Europe.

Mike Smith just committed as the grad-transfer PG, which reduces depth concerns there with DeJulius' departure. It sounds like he's a decent shooter and passer, but we'll see. Jaaron Simmons was a MAC PoTY at Ohio before doing a grad-transfer at Michigan and he never played much as backup to Simpson's sophomore year (Brooks was originally the starting PG as a freshman in November that season, as well), so who knows.

Still waiting on Josh Christopher to officially commit, but insiders are confirming that it's likely to happen next week. That would make Michigan's backcourt pretty strong, with Zeb Jackson as a combo guard, as well.


I think Livers is still more likely to come back at this point.... I'm not even going to try to figure out what Todd is thinking.... Jace Howard is coming in as a preferred walkon afterall, so Michigan could still try to get another grad-transfer if either of them go pro or Christopher goes elsewhere.

In hopefully the last roster change, Bucks add transfer guard Abel Porter from Utah State. He's immediately eligible and will play one season. Hopefully can provide depth at guard. Was initially a walk on and ended up staying the last two years.

Guards: CJ Williams, Duane Washington, Abel Porter.
Wings: Justice Sueing, Seth Towns, Musa Jallow, Justin Ahrens, Eugene Brown
Bigs: Kyle Young, EJ Liddell, Ibrahim Diallo, Zed Key

Expecting a starting lineup of Williams, Washington, Sueing, Liddell or Towns, and Young.
