He gets a shot at playing for a B1G team after some of our "expert" posters dismissed him last season. Good for Brandon. He and his family have tons of class. Would like to see some of our posters follow suit.

Let's keep it real though. He's not on scholarship there, he's a walk-on, and he'll be hard pressed to ever see the floor outside of garbage time. This is Michigan, not a single Duke would start there, and probably only Marcus Weathers would be in their rotation right now.  That said, this is a well thought out decision that will positively impact his life, as a Michigan degree carries a lot of weight where he comes from. Fortunately, his solid family can afford for him to make this choice. A poor kid could never afford to pass up a scholarship somewhere. He'll have memorable experiences there that will last him a lifetime. I like the move.

Really cool article on the Wade family. I certainly hope that better days are ahead for Brandon and Keith.

Amen!

People keep counting the Wades out, but they are good people. Tough, resilient, and faithful. God bless them.

What on earth was wrong with his legs? Explains why his play was so poor. His pedigree indicated he should have been a solid player at this level, but his play wasn't even NEC level. Hard for a guard to do well without his legs. Is he healthy now? I guess Pittsburgh, and Duquesne wasn't his cup of tea.

Did he not accept your friend request on MyFace or something? Sheesh, let the kid move on in peace. You're probably happy he's gone anyway.

Nothing personal, just wonder what the injury was. Not a peep about it from KD. Why put him out there if he's hurting and can't play up to his potential? I guess it doesn't matter since he didn't like it here, but why not a redshirt last year to get him healthy if it was bothering him that much?

University isn't allowed to talk about injuries. Think back to the media briefing when he was trying to explain why Kelly was being redshirted.

I guess this is a case where our lack of media coverage allowed his injury to go under the radar. You have to think that if the papers had regular reporters on us, someone would have sniffed this out at some point during the season.
