Burke's return brings exciting lineup opportunities

On Monday morning, the
Michigan men's bas-
ketball program found
good fortune for the first time in
weeks.
Just five days after the Wol-
verines fell to Ohio in the second
round of the
NCAA Tour-
nament in -
mid-March,
three players 44.:
announcedR
their plans to
transfer from
the program.
Sophomore LUKE
forward Evan PASCH
Smntrycz,
who was a key
contributor over his first two sea-
sons in Ann Arbor, decided that
he wasn't happy at Michigan.
On April 4, sources reported
that freshman point guard Trey-
Burke was expected to forgo his
sophomore season at Michigan
and enter the NBA Draft. Some
reports seemed credible, but
Michigan coach John Beilein
wrote in a blog post later that day
that the speculation was prema-
ture.
He did not deny that Burke
was leaningtoward the NBA,
though. With no capable point
guard left on the roster, fans
began to brace themselves for
a 2012-13 season without a true
floor general. Beilein and his staff
reached out to unranked, unher-
alded recruit Spike Albrecht last
week and earned his commit-
ment over the weekend.
Then, on Monday morning,
Burke announced that he will
return for a sophomore season,
despite the recent rumors that
said otherwise. In that.moment,
the Wolverines jumped from a ,
potential bubble team to pre-
season Ton 10.

Burke and Hardaway Jr., that
would leave one open position at
the guard/wing position. Expect
incoming freshman Glenn Rob-
inson III to beat out his cohort,
Nick Stauskas, for that starting
role.
Robinson III has lit up recruit-
ing services throughout his
senior season in high school and
was recently rewarded with a No.
18 ranking and five-star rating on
ESPNU's top-100 recruits for the
class of 2012. The kid can attack
the basket with ease, shoot from
long range, and he'll immediately
be one of the most athletic guys
on Beilein's roster.
But it appears that the start-
ing lineup may be a bit devoid of
vocal leadership. Burke tends to
be quiet, leading by example, and
Hardaway Jr. all too often lets his
emotions get the best of him on
the court.
In replacing the senior leader-
ship of co-captains Douglass and
Zack Novak, Beilein may turn to
his bench.
"That's what I want to be - a
leader and captain of this team,"
said junior guard Josh Bartel-
stein, who has played a cumula-
tive 46 minutes over his career.
"I just try to help everyone. I've
already talked to the freshmen
that are coming in just to make
sure they know that we're not
taking any steps back, whether
it's with or without Trey."
Not surprisingly, Beilein
declined to comment on how
exactly he'd fill his leadership
void, notingthat he has all off-
season to let players prove them- ,
selves and make up his mind.
But until then, we'll all do
what we do best - keep speculat-
ing.
