I'm not a panicker, but this would be terrible this late.

Sources: With Dusty May leaving, Michigan has targeted Iowa State’s T.J. Otzelberger. There is mutual interest and an interview is expected soon.

DanPom is, as politely as I can put it, a Squakeye douch-canoe.

We have an open roster spot. Who do we want from Michigan?

Not this again with TJ being targeted. Ugh.

He's not being targeted.

I know, I know, Dan. It's just because DanPom1 - DanPom68 were already taken.

Thanks. I don't know the guy, but someone in his comments said he predicted Campbell to PSU. Also in various other posts by people like Jon Rothstein & Borzello...no mention of TJ.

DanPom is a Hawk fan who puts Campbell, TJ, or any ISU coach as a potential candidate for any opening. He would say the TJ is a going to be interviewed by Little Sisters of the Blind College. Saying he "predicted Campbell to PSU" is saying that a broken clock is correct twice a day.

shoot, i wish i could work out for a year and grow an inch

Okay wise guy...Yusef is 18 years old? Entirely possible he grows another inch. DeAndre Kane was listed at 6'4" as a freshman at Marshall.

I was simply trying to point out he could end up being similar size/build as DeAndre Kane. Kane was an absolute force at PG at that size.

I don't know. The kid has the potential to be just as good as Killyan on defense, about like Keshon now and his ability/quickness to get to the hoop is as good if not better than Killyan too. I hope this season isn't a loss for him.

You can't judge defense until they play in TJs system. He has the potential, sure, but you can't say he is about like Keshon having never played for TJ. Strict 1on1 defensive skills is not enough to get playing time. Knowing the rotations, always being in the right spot at the right time and giving multiple maximum efforts on the same possession are more important than the ability to lock down a single guy 1on1.

I am guessing in club ball, they really simplify ball screen defense, for example.

So where is Ferentz going after they lose to the Cyclones

Idk. Maybe try asking one of the football threads

The only link to Michigan for TJ was Jeff Goodman saying "they oughta" when going through a list of coaches that should be targeted.

TJ will be reached out to, they gave Boynton interim duties. I imagine TJ, Ben & a few others are on the list of contacts that Michigan at least plans to contact.

You're right. I didn't word that real well. I meant he's about like Keshon in his quickness and ability to steal the ball. It'd be pretty impressive if he already knew the defense and his rotations.

Maybe you could if you were 21 again. Lots of people continue to grow into their early 20s.

I think their best chance to get TJ woulda been right now. Considering he’s a loyalty guy and only has a max of only 1 year with anybody on the roster and with the portal being the way it is at the moment he could bring some guys with him without much of a PR risk.

They have a 0% chance of getting TJ.
