University of Michigan
Well folks it’s that time of year again where the Wolverine faithful are gearing up to what we all hope will be a solid year of Basketball. Coach Goofypook returns a solid and experienced group of players who have logged a lot of minutes, Led by Pre-Season All American Carl Stevens. Coach Goofypook was recently quoted as saying “Carl Stevens is everything that is good about College sports”! Stevens who pulled his named out of draft consideration last season is looking forward to getting to the Big Dance for the first time since his Freshman Season. When all is said and done Stevens could be the all time leading scorer at Michigan!!

Outlook:
Michigan has the players and the Talent to make a run at a Big Ten Title. With early Big Ten Contest Vs Michigan St. and Illinois, the Wolverines will definitely be tested early! Coach Goofypook stated that consistent effort will be the key to the season. “As long as we bring the right effort each and every night, we will win a lot of Basketball games”
Newcomers:
This year the Wolverines class consisted of 4 players led by sensational Point Guard Aaron Demar out of Manchester HS. The other player who will be expected to contribute immediately is UCLA Transfer Joseph Geller! When asked why he left UCLA Geller was quoted as saying “Coach Daveymac is a CROOK! He sold me a bill of goods, and didn’t make good on any of it” Looks like Geller is out to prove a few people wrong! Also joining the squad this season are Gary Levinson and John Loesch whom Coach Goofypook call an “integral part of your future”!
