I don't really get too much into the NBA until this time of year, when the games get more intense.
As I was watching SportsCenter and TNT's coverage of the playoff, I started to think about how well the Fab Five has done after basketball when it comes to getting jobs in the media.
We all know they were the center of media coverage during their Michigan recruitment, Final 4's, Time Outs ...
All indications are that Manny Harris will forgo his senior year of basketball at Michigan to enter the NBA draft. He told the Michigan Daily that he will make his final decision known on Monday.
