When Michigan coach Juwan Howard started off practice last Friday, he told the team he received some good news that had made his day.
Howard said he was excited to welcome a player into the fold, and senior guard Chaundee Brown initially thought he was talking about five-star forward Caleb Houstan, who had committed to Michigan earlier that morning.
As Howard continued to speak, he implied he had also gotten some bad news from the compliance department and made Brown momentarily think he’d have to sit out this year.
"I was nervous, everyone was nervous because he made it seem like I didn't get my waiver and it kept getting denied,” Brown said Monday.
