Coaching matters.  More to the idea that Dusty is getting who he wants and getting both the top guys in the same position is a remarkable feat.   Clearly the Wolf/Goldin success is paying off immediately.  Hoping what’s his name never suits up, he’s the one that pops off the screen.  Mara is interesting to me but more of a gamble.  Not a clear top guy however that size and skill has top potential. 

Does make me wonder if that means that Morez Johnson truly isn't going to get admitted to Michigan.  Wolf/Goldin could get on the floor together because of Wolf's ability to handle the ball and shoot.  Johnson and Mara on the court together would really clog it up.  I like both of them just see at best them sharing 40 minutes.

Assuming Lendeborg is filling in the Wolf role this year.

Lendeborg I would think will still have to decide if he will stay at Michigan or go into the draft.  Would think he'll go to the combine and decide from there.

Exactly.  3 of the top bigs.  Decent odds one of Johnson/Lendeborg doesn’t end up at Michigan.  And if all 3 do.  Incredible job by Dusty!

Imagine what Woodson could have done if he had three bigs.  Wouldn't even need a three point line.

Michigan and Dusty just added Mara from UCLA. lol. I believe that gives him the #1 and #2 C in the portal.  Unreal. 

Where are you seeing Mara as the #2 ranked center in the portal? 

I guess it's splitting hairs, as your point that Dusty is killing it in the portal at least optically still stands, but a quick look at CBS's rankings (probably not the best but it popped up first) has Mara as the 7th ranked Center.

Villanova's Sasha Gavalyugov will enter the transfer portal, a source told ESPN. The 19-year old Bulgarian point guard averaged 19.4 points,6.0rebounds and 8.4 assists at last summers FIBA U18 European Championship Division B.

Mara is ranked the seventh center on 247 and fourth on On3.  I'm a fan of Mara's game but even I think those rankings are too high.  I think against certain teams with fast small personnel he can be neutralized.

And yes, he's definitely NOT the #2 ranked Center in the portal. Not sure where that came from?

He's a solid piece, especially if he's behind Lendebourg, Wolf and Johnson in their front court rotation. Though, I have a hard time believing all four of those guys end up there.

I am pretty sure Johnson is no longer going to UM. I think it was something about credits not transferring

No because most kids haven’t.

Wow, UCF Pg Dior Johnson is back in the portal. Dude is trying to put the record for schools attended completely out of sight. Went to something like 10 high schools and the next college he commits to will make, I believe, 5. Oregon, Pitt, a JC, UCF and whomever’s next.

Mgbako is on NC State campus today.  Sounds like they are confident in getting him and the Hollmann kid from Sparty

That feels like a pretty, uh, interesting fit given how complicated Wade’s defensive schemes are. So much communication needed.

He did a full UK visit and left without committing. So maybe Wade will guarantee him a starting role. Good luck with the locker room.
