Summary
In this episode, we unpack the most significant transfer loss the Michigan men's basketball team has suffered in recent memory, as David DeJulius entered the transfer portal Monday afternoon. We break down the series of events that might have played a role in his departure, and we discuss why the decision might make more sense to DeJulius than it does to a number of fans.
We also spend some time reading between the lines, and deciphering how this might impact other decisions — or how other decisions might have impacted this one. We look at what a transfer means in today's college sports market, why DeJulius and Michigan should both be fine and how this transfer differs slightly from typical transfers.
We close with a brief look at ongoing situations with Isaiah Todd and Josh Christopher, what to make of social media and the theatrics that come in big-time basketball recruiting and what expectations to have in the coming weeks.

| 0:05.3 | football, basketball, and recruiting basketball podcast today because David DeJulius announced, or I guess |
| 0:12.9 | he didn't announce it, but we first reported it and then the team later confirmed it that |
| 0:17.9 | David DeJulius is set to enter the transfer portal and spend |
| 0:21.3 | the final two or three. I would assume he'd probably have to sit one year, sit one play two. |
| 0:27.4 | But he's going to transfer somewhere else. It's not going to be at Michigan. Detroit Native |
| 0:32.6 | top 100 recruit at one point. First commitment in Michigan's 2018 class. Notable because I think he was, |
| 0:44.3 | I believe he was first off the bench this season. So six man for Michigan, you know, who knows |
| 0:50.8 | what would have happened at the point guard position between him, Eli Brooks, Zeb Jackson, or some of these grad transfers. |
| 0:57.3 | But yeah, it's, it's, um, I'm trying to think the last time there was this big of a transfer |
| 1:02.9 | for Michigan in terms of a guy who figured to be a key part of the team moving forward. |
| 1:09.2 | Because if you, if you you they average a little over a |
| 1:12.5 | transfer a year the past decade or so but usually it's it's more the fourth or fifth guy off |
| 1:19.3 | the bench not not the first guy off the bench or a potential starter so steve i think we |
| 1:27.4 | hinted that this could be a possibility in our last basketball |
| 1:30.2 | podcast, just noting that sometimes it's not the bottom of the bench, sometimes it's someone |
| 1:34.8 | who wants to start and be a primary ball handler elsewhere. But your thoughts on this transfer |
| 1:42.1 | and kind of what it entails or what it says to you? |
| 1:50.5 | I mean, to me, I guess, you can correct me if I'm wrong here. |
| 1:54.0 | To me it says somebody's coming, whether it's a grad transfer or a recruit. You know, I would think because this is a, |
