The Michigan men's basketball program is already looking ahead after coach Tommy Amaker was fired Saturday.
Amaker had recruited a class that included two top-40 players, Alex Legion and Manny Harris. Many worried that if Amaker was released, those incoming freshmen would no longer come to Michigan.
"When I heard the news from him this morning, I was just shocked and pretty disappointed, because he was the coach that I wanted to play for," Legion said just hours after the announcement. "But I do realize that that's a part of the business, and I'm still committed to the University of Michigan, because I want to make a change and a difference."
Legion added that he had talked to Harris, and the Detroit native would also attend Michigan in the fall.
