Michigan's Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman, Duncan Robinson and Moritz Wagner talk to the media on Friday about the NCAA Final Four in San Antonio. Robin Buckson
San Antonio – Michigan seniors Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman and Duncan Robinson both had to bet on themselves.
Robinson took a leap of faith when he transferred from Division III Williams College after his coach, Mike Maker, left for another job. Abdur-Rahkman took a risk and held out for a better Division I offer following his senior season at Allentown Central Catholic High in Pennsylvania, which was no guarantee.
Both were doubted, flew under the radar and took similar paths as two guys who seemingly fell through the cracks.
