Whoah, nellie. The basketball teams is popping up on a number of early top 25 lists, which seems justifiable with only walk-ons and noncontributors on the way out and someone, anyone taller than 6'4" on the way in. I'd slot them just outside, but I can see sticking them in towards the end. Or, if you're Andy Katz, the beginning:
11. Michigan: John Beilein has made the Wolverines relevant again. He got the Wolverines to the NCAA tournament and won a game. Expect even more from Michigan with a true Michigan State-Michigan rivalry in hoops. These should be the two top teams in the league. Manny Harris and DeShawn Sims might flirt with the NBA draft, but both are unlikely to stay in it. If they return with sharp-shooting guard Stu Douglass and quickly developing players Zack Novak and Laval Lucas-Perry, the Wolverines will be a good watch.
!?!?! Uh… Purdue? Illinois? Pending NBA departures, no Big Ten team that picked up a bid loses more than a couple spare par...

Interview: Vince Helmuth
His jersey number is about the only thing that didn’t change for Vince Helmuth last season.

Paulus A Wolverine?
Since he'll graduate in four years, Greg Paulus gets a fifth year of NCAA eligibility in a different sport, and apparently he's considering taking it at Michigan, as a quarterback. Rich Rodriguez runs a pass-happy offense that was pretty sad last year, so we could see the attraction on both ...
Michigan Done Considering Greg Paulus
GoBlueWolverine is reporting that Michigan is no longer going after Greg Paulus. Based on the reaction of a few members of the team, this is probably for the best, but man, why did this have to go on at all? Michigan and Rich Rodriguez got bashed in the media, mainly on ESPN, and the program in general got more bad PR. I wish we could go back to Monday and have none of this happen.

Per ESPN’s SportsCenter, Rich Rodriguez has indeed decided to continue the saga of Greg Paulus by offering him a scholarship to play quarterback for the Wolverines.

The basketball team held its awards banquet last night, and Manny Harris was named the MVP. In a surprising move, though, he asked to share the award with DeShawn Sims, making the two players co-MVPs. It was certainly a great gesture and shows how close the two native Detroiters are.
