Zavier Simpson describes Beilein’s departure as ‘nerve-wracking’

Former Michigan Wolverines point guard Zavier Simpson joined college basketball reporter Andy Katz on the “March Madness 365” podcast for Katz’s senior showcase series to discuss several aspects during his time at Michigan.

The Wolverines weren’t really in Simpson’s head space in his final year of high school. In fact, he had already cut his list to four prior to Michigan even reaching out to the former four-star prospect. Miami, Wisconsin, Iowa State and Illinois were all anticipating Simpson’s commitment. Then came John Beilein and the Wolverines.

“(Michigan) came on a little late,” Simpson explained.
