Denard Robinson was the perfect quarterback for Rich Rodriguez's system at Michigan, but will he be such an ideal fit for new Michigan coach Brady Hoke.
I would think so. I don't see Hoke taking his best asset - and just discarding it. You know, like Rodriguez did with Ryan Mallet. There is a lot there to work with in Robinson. He is not only a truly great runner, but a far better passer than many fans give him credit. Last season, he completed 62 percent of his passes with 18 TDs and 11 interceptions. He was a sophomore, and in his first year as a starter, so he undoubtedly will improve.
From what I'm hearing, Robinson is staying. From what I am hearing, Hoke gave athletic director David Brandon the right answers about Robinson. I would be surprised if Robinson is not more efficient - and just as spectacular - under Hoke's watch.



Random Thoughts

- Greg Monroe has played surprisingly well for the Pistons lately, so there has been some hope, but they badly need the proposed three-way trade with the Nets and Nuggets - or something - to go through. Richard Hamilton's time, as good as it has been overall with the Pistons, is clearly done. And yes, I do think it was disrespectful not to play him Wednesday vs. Memphis.
Also, Zack Randolph and Rudy Guy just killed the Pistons inside. Where was Charlie V? Not a good minutes from him.

- Would the Tigers sign another reliever? Seems like Brian Fuentes and Rafael Soriano would cost more than they'd be willing to pay, but Grant Balfour and Jon Rauch could be possibilities.
