Sophomore-to-be Mitch McGary was one of the main reasons why the University of Michigan men’s basketball team made a Final Four run in the 2013 NCAA tournament.  After deciding to bypass this year’s NBA Draft in July, he is now the main reason why Big Blue Nation should expect nothing less come March Madness next year.  The 6-foot-10 McGary had an emergence in the 2013 NCAA Tournament that had talent evaluators throwing Jared Sullinger and Kevin Love comparisons on him after averaging over 14 points and 10 rebounds per game over 6 games in the tournament.

Michigan freshman forwards Mitch McGary and Glenn Robinson III announced they will return to school next season. McGary averaged 14.3 points and 10.7 rebounds during Michigan’s tournament run. He recorded three of his five double-doubles during the tourney.

“After gathering all the information and sitting down with my family, I have decided to continue my career at the University of Michigan,” McGary said. “There is still plenty for me to work on as both a player and person. Michigan is the right place for me to continue growing, and I am excited about what lies ahead. In a short period of time, this university, this community and all the Wolverine fans have embraced me, and I am truly thankful for that. I look forward to representing Michigan with my teammates and to becoming a leader of this team.”

Forward Glenn Robinson III and center Mitch McGary both decided Thursday to return to Michigan for their sophomore years instead of heading to the pros. “We’re excited to come back for another season,” Robinson III said. ESPN.com
Gary Harris is returning to Michigan State for his sophomore season, the school announced Thursday, leaving junior forward Adreian Payne as the last remaining question mark about next season’s roster. Harris, the Big Ten freshman of the year and top freshman scorer last season (13.7 points per game in Big Ten games), was projected as an NBA lottery pick by ESPN’s Chad Ford from about midseason on. Harris said in a released statement that he looked into his stock. But the 6-4 guard, who had injury issues with both shoulders and his back last season, opted to return — and he will not need surgery on the left shoulder, which gave him the most problems.

The college basketball season is in full swing now, and anyone who remotely resembles a basketball fan couldn’t be more excited. Now is the time when all of the preseason rankings start to shake out. We see who might’ve been overrated, who might’ve been underrated, and everything in between.

The University of Michigan, through its ups and downs of the last two decades, appears to be on its way to consideration as one of the top programs in the country. They’re currently ranked fourth in the nation, and took away a win Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden, one of the most famous arenas in the world. Some can argue that Pitt is not what they were in recent years, but they remain an extremely competitive team who came into the game with a 4-0 record.

There’s a buzz building in Ann Arbor, Michigan and it is not just because football season is just around the corner.  Coach John Beilein has successfully put the University of Michigan basketball back on the map.  Michigan is currently ranked eighth in Andy Katz’s early preseason rankings for next season, and could end up being higher.  They bring back one of the top point guards in the country in Trey Burke, scoring wing Tim Hardaway Jr., and a top 10 recruiting class led by big man Mitch McGary and Glenn Robinson III.

McGary is originally from Indiana, but played at the prestigious Brewster Academy in New Hampshire.  McGary once peaked as high as the number two player in the class of 2012, but eventually slid a bit and is considered a top 20-40 recruit by most recruiting sites.  It was a long, drawn out process during his recruitment to get his signature but the in the end he chose to go to the University of Michigan over Duke, North Carolina, Florida, Maryland,  and Kentucky.

1)      Louisville – Louisville returns a strong core of Siva, Behanan, and Dieng, but a few other players might be the key to them advancing past the final four, next year. Wayne Blackshear could be a breakout performer for the Cardinals and spark plug, Russ Smith, is always a blast to watch. In addition to that, they will have added depth in the front-court and another shooter to replace Kyle Kuric, as Mike Marra returns after tearing his ACL early last year.

  • Key Returnees (Peyton Siva, Chane Behanan, Gorgui Dieng)
  • Key Newcomers (Montrezl Harrell, Terry Rozier)
