Wonder if he has interest in the Ducks?

"Michigan announced the official departures of three players from its program Wednesday: Smotrycz, freshman guard Carlton Brundidge and sophomore forward Colton Christian."

"But Smotrycz, a Reading, Mass. native, was easily the biggest loss, production-wise, for the program. The sophomore forward played in 69 games during his Michigan career, and averaged 7.7 points and 4.9 rebounds this past season."

"He was the team's second-leading rebounder and its most efficient 3-point shooter (43.5 percent). Had he returned next season, he would've likely been a top candidate to earn a spot in Beilein's starting lineup."

Smotrycz had 3 double doubles this season, for Michigan.

In addition to the three transfers listed above, Michigan's freshman PG, Trey Burke is reported to be seriously considering a jump to the NBA... Sucks for the Wolverines, who lost in the second round of the NCAA tourney to finish the season 24-10.

Ya, but so does Boston College, Baylor, Colorado, Xavier, Temple, UMass-Amherst, etc.

There are a lot of schools interested in Smotrycz.

He's an outstanding shooter though and would be a perfect fit for Altman's system. Smotrycz would help make up for losing out of Rosco Allen.

Not sure if Smotrycz wants to be closer to home or is just looking for the best fit where he can get a lot of playing time.
“If everybody in this room just want to be real with themselves, this game could have went either way,” he said. “We turned the ball over a lot. We beat ourself. Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.”
