Quote Of The Day
“Last year, I think people on the team would say that we had more talent than this year, from a raw talent perspective. But I think this year the pieces fit a lot better. Don’t get me wrong — we still have a lot of talent. Jett Howard … definitely an NBA player. Jaelin [Llewellyn] and Joey [Baker] will be high-impact players.” — Hunter Dickinson on Michigan’s chemistry
