Thoughts
Maybe they will surprise everyone and make it to the pros by finally maximizing their game. Getting drafted to the perfect situation helps too, just look at Poole.
Hopefully, in their case, that happens and they don’t regret making the worst decision in their young lives that will last for them as long as they exist on this earth.
Michigan loses both Moussa Diabate and Caleb Houstan. Both were 5-star recruits who started as true freshmen. Both were inconsistent performers who flashed greatness at times. Both should have come back. Of the two, Diabate has the most short term potential but Houstan /1

Maybe it’s just me being vengeful, but generational prospects like Houstan and Diabate should have at least led Michigan to the final four to warrant staying in the draft. Getting the most out of these one and dones has to be priority number one, otherwise, they will be viewed as busts.
Of course, one can never know how things will progress in an elite recruit’s future, which makes things impossible to predict.
