It's been a day and I'm still happy but not grasping the impact of this team. The Fab 5 changed the game but after back to back National Championship games, they left without the trophy. Coach B had some great teams and that block was clean! Even though Louisville got that Natty taken away, Michigan again did not leave with the trophy.
Dusty inherited a program on fire and went into the portal and convinced a couple of bigs to join the team. That laid the groundwork for this years portal recruitment and he grabbed the top player and 3 under the radar players. He recruited skill but he also recruited personality, both were great fit for Ann Arbor and what Dusty wanted to do. Getting a handful of players to stay and mix in talented portal players, this team became the best basketball team in the history of the program.
I'm incredibly happy but I'm already missing this team with the anticipation of the next game.
Quick question to the BHB inmates: What are your thoughts on the National Championship gear? I felt a little burned after the Football NC. I bought a ton of stuff, it was expensive and also very low quality. I'm concerned the basketball national championship gear is similar and I'm being very careful on my selections.
- It's ridiculous that Dusty was on Zoom meetings with potential portal prospects on Tuesday morning.
- Michigan with new 5-star commit McCoy has the #2 ranked high school recruiting class for 2026. With LJ taking a redshirt, there is going to be a lot of time for young players depending on who jumps in and out to the portal.
- Early names in the portal Dusty maybe looking at include: Wisconsin's John Blackwell, Kansas Flory Bidunga, and SDSU Miles Byrd.

When I look for Michigan gear or pro gear, (me personally) I've learned to lower my expectations because I feel the companies are trying to make as much money as possible and they would likely cut corners somewhere. My sons have bought gear for me from pro shops or from collectors which is fine and it's lasted for years. One of my friends work in the front office of a pro sports team and can get us pro gear which is Kool. However, I'm too cheap to spend a lot of my own money on my gear. (I was married before, "Anniversaries, Birthdays, Holidays, etc." so whose got that kind of money?) So, I also look into Amazon and eBay to see if there's anything that I like. Clothes and items wear out, so I don't cry over this stuff. IMHO!!!
