Very interesting possibility. Thanks, GoCat.

He would be a very good get as long as we use him right. If we make him exclusively a 3 point shooter than he will not be as much of a benefit.

Interesting that his AAU coach was Dan Dakich. We have a number of AAU coaches in our area that used to be players (Jerrod Mustaf, Mark Alarie, Byron Mouton, Etan Thomas, Walt Williams) but have not seen any ex-coaches other than a fill-in one-game stint by Mark Turgeon.

I would, Dakich would be a decent backup and Donnal could start. They both would be done next year, meaning we could sign more prospects during the early signing period.

Why not? The football team gets a Michigan grad transfer almost every year, why shouldn't the basketball team? 😜

I'd take both. Donnal by himself or Dakich by himself.

Donnal wasn't a star at Michigan, but he contributed each of the last two years and seems to fit our style pretty well. One year is the perfect timeframe for one of these roster spots with all the youth we have in the post.

Dakich barely played at all at Michigan. This wouldn't be a Big 10 transfer who comes in and lights the MAC on fire... But he is the son of a coach and has 3 years at a quality basketball program. We need someone next year who can spell Simmons at PG. This sounds like the perfect guy to come in and instantly pick-up our offense while providing much needed depth.

If worst case scenario happens and we have a major injury, Dakich can become Ohio's Stilman White, leading us to a Sweet 16 victory.
