Michigan Hoops’ Special Season & Recapping a Scouting Combine that we Hated and Loved

About this episode

The episode discusses Michigan men's basketball's success and the recent NFL scouting combine.

On the latest episode of The Blue Print, Devin Gardner and Jake Butt show some love to the Michigan men’s basketball team on winning the Big 10 regular season title! How has Dusty May managed to get this level of buy-in from such a star-laden team? And while conquering the regular season crown is nice, is this only step 1 to securing a much BIGGER crown? Then, we’re breaking down last week’s NFL scouting combine, one which you might say we had a love/hate relationship with. Why did we hate it? Because so many dang Buckeyes tore it up. Why did we love it? Because it means they aren’t playing for the Buckeyes anymore! We also share our thoughts on Fernando Mendoza’s decision not to throw, and we tell you why we’re not getting swept up in the Drew Allar hype.
