E. Michigan-Michigan on ESPNU

[RUforJERSEY]

Michigan has their hands full. 51-48 EMU with 16 minutes left. Neutral court game. EMU has some talent with Emoni Bates and Noah Farrakhan.

That Farrakhan foul hurt. He was playing great.

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Let's go EMU!!!!

Entertaining game. EMU fun to watch. Not that impressed by Michigan outside of Dickinson

 

[Local Shill]

How did Farrakhan end up going to East Carolina and then Eastern Michigan? Had offers from RU, SHU, St.John’s, Maryland and Ohio State out of the Patrick School. Kids appears to be super talented.

After watching this game, can’t say I’m torn up about the fact that a Princeton player “would never” consider Rutgers.

For those who didn't watch, what does that mean?

Llewellyn was a grad transfer Combo guard or Point guard that had 30+ offers this past spring. Many fans were hopeful he would consider RU, since he played at Princeton.....instead he picked Michigan and the other big grad transfer, Ethan Wright, picked Colorado......Eventually Cam Spencer entered the portal and RU immediately showed interest in Spencer and the rest is now playing out in front of us.

Spencer is a much better fit for RU vs Llewellyn or Wright, strictly based on the fact he has 2 years of eligibility vs 1 for the Princeton kids.

What Hawk said and one of our esteemed posters made the Princeton player would never consider Rutgers comment.

Thank you. I recall the saga, just not that Llewellyn was at Michigan. Gather he didn't play that well?

Correct. Had a bad shooting night and looked a little lost in my opinion. Only one game though

Behavior or grades I assume.

Emoni Bates is like watching CGI Jarjar Binks hooping. Herky jerky and so long yet somehow so quick. It was a bizarre experience.

Michigan's guard play was really really bad early. They tightened it up in the final ten minutes but even then there were some head scratchers.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Ethan Wright 10 minutes, 4 pts(FG 2-5, 0-1) 1 reb, game 1
Jaelyn Llewellyn 54 minutes 7.0pts(FG 3-12, 0-6), 4.0 reb, 3.0ast, 2 games

I think we made out fine in the portal with what we've seen early.

Towards the end Llewelyn had a bad turnover and Howard smacked the scorers table behind him

Better than smacking opposing coach I guess
