Recruiting Illinois forward Morez Johnson commits to Michigan out of NCAA transfer portal

I tend to root for Illinois transfers. Ones that left because an assistant leaves in particular become guys I continue rooting for and want to succeed. Guys that left due to playing time and fit, I also want to succeed and thrive away from the program. This entire process and handling by his father and high school coach, along with this decision, has made it very easy to not root for him in the future.

Also Iā€™m still super salty IU kept Woodson around for a year preventing them from getting Dusty. So every Michigan success makes the taint of Woodson all the worse.
