Phil Martelli to Michigan as an assistant.

This undoubtedly will be tough on him after being a head coach for so long. But a good place to keep his name in the game and maybe get a HC chance next season. Or maybe he will welcome the change of not having to be the person in charge.

I'll always remember his buzzer beater winner vs Harvard.

Melvin Swift! I remember him being a highly rated after prospect and I think he committed to UMass after he decomitted from Xavier. Also think Memphis offered him as well among others. He had some issues (academic I think) that held him back a year before he was going to attend college. Sadly he nev...

I can't see this happening anytime soon for basketball- if ever. There is no supply and demand issue and supply and demand isn't walking though that door anytime soon. And with hockey, they'd have to be some long term success to get to the point of adding these price per seat premium. Even with the ...

Has to be some level of concern with all these transfers, esp many of the ones McCall brought in, what kind of culture was built that drove so many away. The Kellogg holdovers like Pipkins and McLean are not a big surprise using their grad year option and the other walk-on who said he was leaving to...

Add him to the short list of players who have transferred (UP) in the past several years with Gordon, Pip, and Berger.

He announced on social media he is transferring to Cumberland University (TN) which is a D1 NAIA school. I had to look up what the NAIA is and D1 in NAIA is comparable to NCAA Division II.

No idea if they even offer hoop scholarships at that level but hope he finds success.

He decommitted from Umass on Wednesday.

Remember back in his 2nd year here some people here were saying Pipkins was better than Chaz Williams.

Turns out he he was just a just a small fish in a big pond.

One of the few who transferred "UP" (in terms of conference) from UMass in recent memory. (Berger, Jarreau, Gresham, Gordon) are the others who transferred UP that come to mind.

We also don't know if he fired all his assistants or if any of them wanted to leave. It might be a mix of both or it might not be, we may never know. But at least he sees things have to change. But either way the 2019/20 will likely have to be an incredible improvement in order for McCall to get a 4...

If he is not graduating and intends to play D1 I think he'll have to go the Baptiste route. Summer school and if he is stil short credits sit out next fall while finishing up, graduate in December then have 1 1/2 years of eligibility left.

Can freshmen/transfer go on this trip? I feel like we've had players have to sit out these trips before. Yes. I think absolutely. Last time they took a trip over to Europe incoming transfer Antwan Space took the trip........ then he didn't play agame until late December due to being academically in...

With Unique and Pipkins leaving I believe that cuts all ties to the Kellogg era or (Error) if you will.

Graduating in 3 years while playing D1 hoops for two of those years. Good for him. Two years left of eligibility, getting out while he can and he'll find a great spot to land.
