Ann Arbor — Given the celebrity status he gained for his NCAA Tournament heroics, it’s hard to believe anyone wouldn’t recognize Michigan sophomore guard Jordan Poole.
Yet earlier this month, assistant coach DeAndre Haynes admits there was a moment he had to do a double take.
“I think (a few) practices ago I didn't even know it was him,” Haynes said during the team’s media day earlier this week. “He just looked totally different.”
It’s not that it had anything to do with Poole’s physical appearance. Instead, it had everything to do with looks — the wide-open ones he was facilitating for his teammates.
