George Noory said on his radio show that we have at least one Egyptian BIG coming this fall. Stay tuned! Playing for Coach Beilein, no doubt 😁

A tweet from Detroit Mercy MBB today: “In his first year as a Titan, Brad Calipari led the team shooting 38.0% from three. He was second on the team with 46 triples and his 1.7, 3-pointers per game was second on the team and 11th in the Horizon League 🏀⚔️ #DetroitsCollege”
I’ll take that as an indicator that Calipari will likely return next season, scholarship status TBD.
Also, there was info graphic tweeted by Detroit Mercy MBB that communicated Antoine Davis would be returning too. Presumably that reflects a decision that he would not declare for the NBA draft. Whether that was really necessary to announce can be debated, but perhaps Coach Davis wanted to signal a commitment that AD would return as part of his pitch to potential recruiting prospects for the coming season.

Commish, can you update the scholarship table on this thread? Thanks.

If there was even the tiniest possibility of Maxwell trying to get a waiver and return for another season, they appear to not be true. He's the 1st person featured in the "thank you" video to all senior athletes (Miller also appears)

Has anyone confirmed the status of BJ Maxwell? Probably just overthinking on my part, but some of his tweets make me think he might be returning for this upcoming season

I would love for him to play. He was a good player at his previous school plus he is a good student.

I would love for him to play. He was a good player at his previous school plus he is a good student. Tweets showing him playing pick up games. A comment about him being ready for his senior year and wearing a Titans (Detroit Mercy) t-shirt. AD joining in the conversation. I figured it was a long shot, but was worth asking. Where would he fit anyways - with AD, Fraser, Johnson, and Rose figuring to get the bulk of the PT plus Pink, Calipari, Gorman and the 2 freshman. We might need 2 basketballs to satisify everybody

Thanks Scout, it's interesting post. Because of covid the NCAA may expand rosters giving seniors a second chance. We'll find out.

We might need 2 basketballs to satisify everybody Concerning playing time, AD will play less but not a whole lot less. And of the group he's the only pure scorer. Maxwell, Fraser, Johnson, Pink are all ball-handlers; they must only be a threat to drive or make the occasional jump shot. Whoever separates from that crowd probably will be the best defender. I don't think Calipari (slow, not a good defender, bring him in to help break the press because he hits his free throws) and Gorman (walk-on) will see much time at all. Nor will the two freshmen, unless Coach wants to really spread the floor with AD and Leidel both on the court.

And, we are not done recruiting guards. Expect another PG Grad Transfer.
We need to celebrate the fact we now have a legit Power5 center (albeit one who comes with baggage but also every reason to prove himself at his last stop) plus a young center who has tremendous upside.
The dust will settle if/when we are allowed to start practice. I am excited for the future. As I have said repeatedly: who would you rather have in charge at this moment instead of Mike Davis? He was, and remains, an excellent choice and I am hopeful. Will this roster implode because a bunch of huge egos are coming from different places for "one last chance" and they will all have to play second fiddle to the coach's son? Or will the old and new blend into a team with a chip on its shoulder and turn this thing around? I don't know, but it is wonderful to have hope for a better future.

The final scholarship (or two) - It's not Maxwell, and Thomas and Datcher are some what active twitter and have made no mention transferring in or being in Detroit/on campus. It's a mystery??

Are they giving waivers on the "5 to play 4" rule? 2021 will be year 6 for BJ, and his first redshirt season was not due to injury.
