I love these segments. I’m particularly impressed with all three kids. All of them are well spoken. They all give credit to their teammates and to the coaching staff. These young men are MICHIGAN scholar athletes, smart, articulate, outwardly humble, talented in many ways, just great young men. I would hope everyone would watch these three clips, trying to get to know the guys a little better, learning who they are as people and what makes them tick, especially for the guys who have a penchant for pointing out weaknesses or shortcomings of our guys. Hunter hasn’t experienced that criticism yet, but he probably will at one time or another, but Eli and Austin most certainly have during their careers here. My comment seems to be the only one here since the time this was posted 23+ hours ago. I hope the guys on the forum watch these clips.
EDIT: I see there have been 119 views. That’s good.

@silverblue I think we have consistently been puzzled by the board’s lack of reaction to these videos (maybe its because the majority of quotes get baked into the articles?)…I will say, Juwan has grown more comfortable answering questions via Zoom than in the “press room”. Even through coach-speak, I do feel like there are things to gain from watching press conferences. And the players have been trained to answer questions very very well while allowing their personalities to shine!
I was such a huge fan of every single press conference from Beilein, my girlfriend used to call it my “Beilein B*ner” time. She’s tried to adjust to “Howard Hard-on”, but it doesn’t have the same ring to it just yet.

Love it, Chip!!!

I’ve been complaining for years that no one watched these post-game interviews, but it’s their loss. There’s nowhere that I learn more about the game than in listening to the post-game analysis. Beilein was a master at breaking down what had taken place, and Juwan is damned good, too. I would just, sometimes, like to see more insightful questions put to them. Tonight I would have asked whether he thinks Michigan’s offense is still evolving, and what he envisions it might look like when–and if–everyone is hitting on all cylinders. That’s not happening yet.

Has Juwan gotten better at it? I felt last year Juwan was pretty generic (after Beilein who as pretty colorful in post-game), so I stopped watching.
