ANN ARBOR -- Andrew Dakich was almost all set to begin his graduate studies at Quinnipiac when a few things happened.
First, Dakich -- a former Michigan point guard who planned to play for Baker Dunleavy and the Bobcats next season -- was unable to secure a spot in the QU journalism graduate program he wanted to attend.
And while he was enrolled at the school, he was not enrolled in a specific graduate school program -- which allowed him to pursue other options and retain his fifth year elsewhere.
Second, Chris Holtmann -- the man who had been recruiting Dakich to play as a graduate transfer at Butler earlier this offseason -- became the new head coach at Ohio State.
