Summary

In a basketball-focused episode, Shaw and Lorenz look at Jordan Poole's seemingly inevitable decision to turn pro, and react to Poole's father's comments citing that the Wolverines' system put Poole in suboptimal position. We also weigh in with our thoughts on Poole's decision, including some analysis at how the college basketball landscape has changed for players who aren't drafted.

Then, we look at Michigan's lone remaining draft decision — Ignas Brazdeikis — and break down the likelihood it is that he returns. We also look at the rest of Michigan's returning players and what the departures mean for them.

Finally, we close by looking at Justin Pierce, Franz Wagner, Lester Quinones, Nah'Shon Hyland and other potential recruiting targets that Michigan could turn to, along with who the Wolverines are most likely to get.

0:33.5	I know we kind of did that in a couple previous ones.

1:03.3	Jordan Poole declared pro officially, officially official.
1:07.3	I mean, I think everyone who subscribes to our site knew that he was almost
1:11.7	certainly going to be a pro back to Michigan. And I think, and I think there were clues
1:18.3	along the way, right? And Ashon Highland said that, he said Michigan shooting guard is going to
1:23.6	stay in the draft. Well, that's Jordan Poole. And, you know and then it's some hands up on the cameo site, which I didn't know what
1:31.5	cameo was, but for those that don't know, it's where celebrities can charge money to give
1:36.8	out personalized video shoutouts.
1:39.5	I know Chris Wormley's on there, Jake Butts on there, Glenn Rice is on there, maybe a couple other former Michigan players are on there too, but he shows up on there and, you know, it's totally fine if he's going pro.
1:52.5	Absolutely can if he's a pro.
