Spike Albrecht....

Any chance we are on this?

[LIHoosier 27,391]

Not if Beilein/Michigan have anything to do with it. Forde wrote an article about avoiding another Bielfeldt situation. (Max had to win an appeal to be able to transfer to a B1G school)

That athletic office is straight up hypocrites.  They like that grad transfer for football.  But Beilein doesn't like training someone for 4 years only to have them transfer and play.  I got a solution for that.  QUIT RECRUITING OVER THEM AND TELLING THEM MONTHS IN ADVANCE YOU ARE DOING SO!!!

Would be a great get.

Hasn't he had issues with injuries? Do we want a third guard that may be limited by injuries on our roster?

This year he had hip surgery.

I thought he had pretty much retired and given up on basketball altogether?

I loved Bielfeldt ---but I would pass here. We have enough players recuperating from injuries and I like our new recruits at guard. Exception--I would jump at the Simon kid from Arizona.

From a fan perspective I have to pass too. I've said too many terrible things at Spike to make the mental shift. It's not like Max where he didn't really play us much.

[Kepner 1,261]

I'd pass as well. Injury problems and is a defensive liability more than Zeisloft and JBJ. He didn't play at all this year because of hip surgery and he has had them in the past. He would be a great leader but thats about it.  We may not have the most experienced guards next year but with Rob, JBJ, Newkirk, Cujo, Niego, and Gelon all in the mix I think we have enough guard wise.

No no no no no no and not april fools'in

I'm not interested in going after Albrecht for multiple reasons, but it is interesting that Beilein has caved into the bad PR he's been getting and it serves him right.

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

He now understands that he was wrong, that's a good thing.

I think he now understands how this would hurt his recruiting down the road.

Please.... No Spike. Butler seems like a good fit.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 88,183]

PUke., the Franimal, Little Ricky and Groce's Grunts all need warm bodies if he wants to stay in the B1G.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 88,183]

LOL

He could probably start at Rutgers.
