Welcome to the UM Hoops Podcast. We are back with a new show after over a year without a podcast. This isn't The Moving Screen or The Pindown; instead, it is a twice-weekly Michigan basketball podcast that will hit on Michigan, the Big Ten, and more. Monday episodes will be with Eric Shapiro of The Pindown, with mid-week episodes featuring a rotating cast of guests, including friends of the pod and others across the sport. In our first episode, we break down Danny Wolf, Vlad Goldin, and Michigan's plans to feature both big men in the 2024-25 season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
