Juwan fukked up the makeup of this team. I'm not off the Howard wagon yet.. he can actually fix this in one offseason. Lets see how this team grows into next year and then I'll see where we're at.
That's sorta where I am too..
He has had an elite 8 appearance, a couple of back to back sweet 16s, won coach of the year last year along with a big 10 title...
It's hard to wonder who in that stretch could have done a much better than him as the HC at Michigan. I feel he may be in a situation like Harbaugh was a few years ago. He needs to find an identity, Jawan has his head into the whole portal thing but he should probably focus on building guys who are going to be around longer and build a TEAM...
The truth is Dug is just not ready to be that guy, and Hunter has regressed horribly, that NIL money has definitely gone to his head. Jett & Kobe have potential but they also are getting ZERO production off the bench and a even bigger disappointment is Terrence Williams, literally cant get anything out of him.
Michigan football was mediocre for years and these last two years we have found prosperity BUT under Coach B who handed the keys to Jawan, the basketball team has been good year in, year out for 10+ years. So a "down year" is not going to be well received and it seems the tide is turning for the first time on Jawan...
Next year will be a make or break season for him...
