And we're back here on The Michigan Insider, Big 1050WTK online at the big 1050.com. John Eubacon will be joining us in a little bit for the 9 o'clock hour. A couple of news and notes from the Michigan men's basketball team. So more awards yesterday, finalists for Yax. Yax was named a finalist for the Riley Wallace Award, which was presented annually to the most impactful transfer in Division I college basketball. Yeah, that sounds about right. I had no idea that they had that work.

Are you kidding? Wallace Award, which was presented annually to the most impactful transfer in Division

1 college basketball. Yeah, that sounds about right. I had no idea that they had that

are you kidding. There are so many awards that are being announced. So yesterday I talked about the

watch list or the finalist list for the that Adai and Yaks are both on the finalist list

for the Lefty-Jurzell defensive player of the year award. Now, I love, and I talked about this yesterday, I love Lefty Jousel. He was my first favorite coach. He and Earl Weaver as a manager, my first favorite coaches. He invented Midnight Madness when he was at Maryland. Lefty's the man. I love Lefty Jazeel. I guess he deserves to have the defensive player of the year award under his name.

I'm not really sure.

It doesn't matter.

But I'm like, okay, that's cool.

I don't know that was an award, but that's cool.

There's the, I don't remember the name of it, but Roddy Gale's a finalist for the Heart and Soul Award.

I forget whose name was on that award, but there's a heart and soul, like, where a player that is like the true ultimate glue guy, whatever.

And I said it then, I'm like, I didn't know that award exists,

but that's cool.

I like that award.

Absolutely.

I do. I mean, at this stage, you definitely need a transfer award because there's going to be so many of them with the portal. That's good point. And I feel like Yaks is going to win this one.

So I feel bad for everybody else that's up for it.

I'm sure there are other transfers that have had very impactful seasons don't get me wrong i'm sure there

are uh but yax is the big 10 player of the year is the so yeah kind of assume that he's also one of the

five finalists for the power ford of the year award and these are the awards like um from, like the other day for the, on the women's side for

the Small Ford Award.
