Dare to dream

Just a reminder for this thread before it gets completely in La-La land. Texas has a terrific roster, with vast majority of NIL spent and accounted for. Texas is not going to try and pluck a Michigan starting player when they already have a roster accounted for, and NIL pretty much accounted for. Texas has six starters right now on their roster in the staffs mind, and some really good role players accounted for. The Texas roster was recruited for roles and minutes/rotations. There's also player development plans for players. Florida, Duke, UConn, Texas, Tennessee, etc... those rosters are already built. And so many teams have spent their allotment on rosters. But I'm willing to bet Michigan hires a damn good coach, and those Michigan kids are under some very nice NIL contracts and remain with the Wolverines for the 2026-27 season. They are already in classes, and summer workouts too. If I was a freshman like a Brandon McCoy, it would give me pause. But very few options at this point in June.

Pack is not a CF. Not even a really good defensive LF yet

lol Zero chance

Texas isn't going to get a starter level player from Michigan for multiple reasons. 1. NIL spend is high on those guys, and they are starters. 2. Michigan will hire a very good coach, and those guys on the team are making big NIL there. 3. So many schools are already very near or tapped out on NIL for their 2026-27 team.

Elko when he realizes that Sark just took LWC from him:

lol. No chance

correct

Negotiations ... nothing decided. NIL offers can be made/change all the way up until a decision is made

I kinda thought we would have heard who the new assistant coach is by now

I’m curious how this recruitment looks toward signing day

Boynton does do it for me, Schertz is an interesting hire if they go that route, Donovan makes a lot of since though?

Billy Donovan Josh Schertz Mike Boynton (Internal hire)

Don’t forget he took FAU to the final four along with the Michigan Natty.

Daniel Jackson went to Georgia from Wofford…

May has had one of the most successful runs in coaching I can remember. FAU to the Mavericks in 3 years is pretty darn impressive, adding in a NCAAT championship along the way.

@Gerry Hamilton what you think Billy Donovan to Michigan?

Pete Nakos from On3 reported yesterday that Texas, ATM, Georgia, and LSU are showing interest in Angel Laya from Oregon. If we can get this guy the OF will be the best in the country 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Billy Donovan to Michigan

Big time hire. Well done Mav's.

Yes. 15 day window is open. Texas has like one scholarship I think left. I’d love to add Thiam which would make us Natty favorites. Don’t know if the money is there for it.

Now now. I trust the OTF team more than anyone, but there’s room for dissenting opinions and discourse. I’m all for false hope on a Monday. That said, I think every staff has a ton of work to do before he hits the finish line. Hope our staff sees an opening here and exhausts every resource to reel him in.

I think Gerry forgot to include the word “yet”

I don’t think he was disputing anything. Speigelman’s update actually lines up with what’s already been discussed here. It’s just another piece of info pointing in the same direction for Texas. Recruiting updates come from a lot of places, and when multiple sources - local and national - are saying similar things, that usually strengthens the picture, not contradicts it. So I don’t see anything weird about sharing it. It just adds to the overall context.

Can Michigan players enter the portal since he left?
