    This guy is just so impressive. I could listen to him talk all day.
  • @zachhosek9589
    Im so stoked! This dude is the real deal. What I'd hoped for in Juwan. Go Blue!
  • @billdoty6438
    We have a real coach! Watching this last season, actually I stopped watching toward end of season because it was unwatchable. Really wanted coach Howard to work, I’m a Fab Five guy. But it was pathetic. Not anymore, we won’t be embarrassed anymore, it should never be embarrassing to watch any Michigan team. Go Blue!
  • @Woodyruff
    Still need Michigan to get with it in the NIL department, but other than that May is doing everything right!
  • @johnstacyii4827
    Already going 8 deep with the transfers and Will and Burnett.
  • @MichiganRick
    How many Michigan fans are out there? In Michigan? In the USA? If 2 million would send in $5-$10 we would have $10-$20 in NIL money to work with. Is there any posted address for these NIL collectives?
  • no one seems to have noticed that the FIRST thing out of may's mouth was "CULTURE FIT", which is sad, because that means no one has a clue as to what that means - and that ignorance is going to show in their ranting about NIL.
