Danny Wolf: Yale to Michigan

[jayp123669]

In addition to UConn, I occasionally follow local college b-ball teams in CT. Last year was watching Yale and watched this kid play. Not going to say he's Donovan Clingan but he had similar Clingan attributes. Being 7-0 feet tall, 250 pounds, could move well, pass well, rim protect. Had some characteristics I liked and with Donovan leaving thought Hurley would for sure take a look at this kid as a possible replacement especially being so local going to school in CT. Obviously he didn't and this kid ended up at Michigan. I watched him last night dominate some of that game against Wisconsin and remember him from his time when he was at Yale. Anyone know if Hurley ever looked at this kid?

He's at Michigan.

I'm aware, I'm wondering if BEFORE he chose to transfer to Michigan if Hurley looked at him at all? Or was he someone not on Hurleys radar?

I remember the BY talking about him knowing we would be in the market for a transfer center, but I think he plays for Michigan now.

He's at Michigan.

Agree -- he's definitely at Michigan and not at UConn.

May on to something using him as a 5b with Goldin bringing back the twin towers concept. As a primary 5 I could see him less effective at the high major. He must have had this planned in advance otherwise unlikely to have gotten both in the portal.

I remember watching him at Yale last year. He's got really nice footwork for a 7 footer. Not sure about his defensive instincts. I think he's playing now at Michigan but not positive.

Didn't he go to Michigan?

In before anyone mentions he’s at Michigan.

IIRC. Because he is from Glencoe Ill and Michigan had shown early interest -He made it fairly clear his interest was in returning to the Mid- West to finish his CBB career. Tarris Reed was entering the portal and Samson was returning and Singare on the bench. Dan knows the HC at Yale pretty well. It was my understanding from articles that were circulating at the time that there were discussions that didn't go far-Mutually agreed upon.

he went into the portal with a do not contact tag, he already knew where he was going. He's from Illinois, not like he's a local kid just cuz he went to school in CT.

Our focus was Tarris Reed. He's averaging 11 points, 9 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in 19 minutes (per 40 23, 19, and 3). Wolf averaging 18, 14, 2.8 per 40.

No ragrets.

 

[superjohn]

I'll chime in, I think he's at Michigan.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Didn't he go to Minnesota or something?

Timing is everything. This wasn’t gonna go well on game day, at 3pm. Especially when we’re in struggle mode. This would’ve been ok, in April. I have an opinion on it, in April.

Hmmm seems a lot of folks comment without reading the original post.
Oh and just in case u don’t know he went to Michigan.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

I'm a Tarris Reed guy myself, but to each his own

Has this been confirmed? I heard Providence wanted him.

 

[Huskybass]

Tarris Reed played at Michigan.

 

[Leebo]

I think he plays for Yale.

 

[RuffRuff]

didn’t wolf go to Michigan?

Minnesota is close to Michigan.

 

[uh-no]

The Wolf pack is the mascot of NC state.

 

[JohnFSilver]

I believe the kid is a Michigan player.

 

[ctchamps]

We win tonight this has to be our mojo theme.

Anyone know if Michigan has a player named Wolf?

This OP just wanted to discuss something that is of interest to any hoops fan and people have to say “ he’s at Michigan” lol. The kid is a nice player as is Goldin. Good discussion point since May has made the 2 bigs work so far good post despite those who have an issue. It’s fun to watch them work together despite the fact I hate UM but Wolf is a great passer and can handle the ball away from the basket. These 2 are very good players but at the same time if we have either do we get Reibe? But it seems at times you can get 2 bigs to be successful on the court together!
