Michigan fans on suicide watch?

Pillage their players and recruits.

any players to keep an eye out for?

Did not see that one coming

Doesn't look like much is coming in, and lots of their talent is in the process of going top the NBA.

Maybe not on Michigan (although I think they were a contender for Bones), but will be interesting to watch the coaching carousel and see who shakes loose this time around.

Ouch. Very late to replace a coach. Wonder who they target.

If the thunder do let Donovan go, that would be my bet.

Should we start predicting which school Beilein will be coaching in 3 years? Or will he just retire after Cleveland fires him?

Whatever coach they poach if it is from within the NCAA ranks I'm going to feel quite bad for that school.

I'm voting that he took this massive contract from the cavs to get fired and retire, nothing else makes much sense.

Obvious KO hire situation, however boosters in Michigan actually have a say and there is zero chance they let that happen.

How is a mid 60 year old VERY successful college coach going to relate to mid 20s millionaires?

He was making 3.37M a year from Michigan last season if Cavs paid him 6M it wouldn't be shocking but uh the Cavs suck, how is he going to win.

Having a good gm would help.

The Cavs are gonna need some lottery luck too.

Pluck Dorsey away from the Browns.

Can Jim Calhoun be bought from St Joes?

Amazing a guy who I would think is stamped as a very good college coach but would never be on an NBA radar based on who he is, and he takes off. Some people can never make enough money I think polycom has it right above, why else?

He’s 60. Why not give it a shot for double your pay? At least he’ll have given it a shot.

He’s made 2 finals in college, he can always get another P5 job if this goes poorly.

Whoever was the Broyles Award winner for basketball last year, of course.

For the record, he’s 66
