First part is football. The next part will be Penn State focused.
He knew they were athletic, he knew they had talent and he knew they could do a lot of things in several different areas.
He thought he knew it all.
And then he really found out. "The first two or three (scrimmages), they destroyed us," the Michigan junior guard said with a laugh. "I think they were pretty excited."
Man oh man, I'm pretty pumped for football season, but it seems like every time I read something about the incoming freshman class or the development of Michigan's returning players it is wildly positive. This is setting up to be a very fun year for Michigan basketball.
