1. Men's Basketball Transfersstarts at 1:00
Transferpalooza - Michigan gets Caleb Love, Nimari Burnett, and Tray Jackson. They're looking at a total reboot for the men's basketball program next season, this is both good and bad. The future of the roster looks like they're going defense-heavy. Caleb Love has questionable decision-making when he's the ball-handler making offense, he also can't make shots at the rim. Was this a UNC problem or a Caleb Love problem? He can knock down open-looks and pick-and-rolls, though. Nimari Burnett - has a history of injuries and was a 15-20 minute type guy on the #1 overall seed. We have no idea what we're getting with him. Towards the end of his career he became a bit of a defensive specialist. Tray Jackson - a bench player for a bad team, we're not sure about this one. If he's better than Jace then he'll probably be the starter at the 4, though... Michigan is apparently still looking around the portal.

2. Frozen Four
starts at 30:19
Well, it happened again. It was painful to watch, Portillo's season-long problems came back to bite Michigan in the worst possible way. He looked like a goalie who wasn't coached. Luke Hughes wasn't great in this game - he's very aggressive and Quinnipiac is good at countering that.
3. Hot Takes and Future of the Hockey Program
starts at 43:54
Takes hotter than like people and they're like "what's this stone rolling away from the thing" and it's this guy playing Free Bird coming out and he's like "IT'S ALL GOOD!" Seth's bread has not risen. Hunter Dickinson just needed to be a villain to one more Big Ten program. No announcement from Rutger McGroarty but there are rumors he's coming back to Michigan. Gavin Brindley hasn't been drafted but is flying up draft boards, there's a decent chance he comes back. A lot of pieces are coming back. Portillo is most likely out the door, Michigan needs to search the transfer portal for a new goalie. Looking at Mathieu Caron from Brown.
4. Signing Off on the 2022-2023 Seasonsstarts at 1:05:17
Pretty fun year. Football won the Big Ten and beat Ohio State for the 2nd consecutive year. There's really only one question mark spot on the football roster next season so things are looking bright. Men's basketball was, ehh. Frustrating! Brian brings up Terrence Shannon at 1:08:05. It kinda felt like everyone hated each other a little bit. The hockey season was satisfying. Could've been better but the offseason leading up to it was chaotic. The future of the hockey program is also bright.
