Michigan Basketball Still Flourishing Under John Beilien

Many Michigan basketball fans are up in arms over the recent transfers and departures from the program, but those that are upset, are losing sight of the bigger picture.

Despite the fact that the Wolverines just lost four players (Spike Albrecht, Aubrey Dawkins, Ricky Doyle and Kameron Chatman), Michigan basketball is in a good spot for next season.

All five starters (at least the starters at the end of the season) are coming back from a team that played in the NCAA tournament and even won a game, albeit a first-four game.

With Zak Irvin, Duncan Robinson and Mark Donnal in the front court, as well as Derrick Walton and Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman manning the guard spots, the Wolverines have a talented starting five.
