An hour and a half before tip here at Crisler Center between @umichbball and @MSU_Basketball, Maize Rage line the longest I’ve seen as a student. Excited for my last regular season game ever covering basketball after three seasons covering the women’s and men’s teams!

Less than 10 minutes until tipoff here in Buffalo between No. 1 seed Michigan and No. 9 Saint Louis.

@ElwinRichardson Not sure how that’s the conclusion you draw from me answering questions based on my personal opinions and experience but I appreciate the line of questioning and at the end of the day you can believe what you want to believe.

@zachedwards04 So you grasp how fucking stupid it is for an athlete to claim they’re delaying their rehab process. You know the Cason quote is fake

LJ Cason said his surgery is set for April 9th with about a 9-12 month recovery. He said, “Had to make sure it was after the Natty.”

@ElwinRichardson Played baseball, basketball, soccer growing up and water polo and swim in high school

@zachedwards04 Have you ever played a sport? Zero disrespect if not

@ElwinRichardson I wouldn’t want to have to balance the two. I think absolutely you could but traveling with the team may also not be an option depending on how the surgery goes.

@zachedwards04 You don’t think he can do PT and then watch basketball 4 hours a week?

@ElwinRichardson Either way he would’ve sat for the majority of the season and so to prioritize recovery without burning a year of eligibility seems like the right way to go. Especially considering now he can experience March Madness without having to focus as much on recovery and PT.

@zachedwards04 Hence why I asked for you opinion

@ElwinRichardson Not my decision and that’s why I’m not a coach or athletic trainer or college athlete, it’s simply what LJ told me.

@zachedwards04 That’s a fun story. Say why you think an athlete would delay their recovery by 6 weeks

@ElwinRichardson Dusty May said in a press conference on March 9th the plan for him is to redshirt next season. It has been his plan for weeks.

@zachedwards04 You actually want people to believe that he sacrificed next season too? Like on purpose?
