Mark Donnal out of Monclova, OH (Anthony Wayne High School), grad transfer from Michigan. Had interest from a bunch of Big Ten programs and Butler out of high school. Toledo also threw an offer at him. Coached by Dan Dakich in AAU ball. FWIW, Dakich's son Andrew is also available for grad transfer out of Michigan. Depending on what service you trust, he was either a 3 or 4 star and was in ESPN's Top 100 for his class. http://www.toledoblade.com/Michigan/2011/06/15/Anthony-Wa... http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/mark-donnal https://www.landof10.com/michigan/report-michigan-f-mark-... High school highlights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu5JAvVUGuw Looks pretty good on that pick and roll... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BoBEjQVT1g 26 points off the bench vs. Groce and Illinois... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El-AmWiwpog Back to Top Jeff McKinney Moderator Member Since: 11/12/2004 Post Count: 6,121 Status: Offline     RE: Mark Donnal - Michigan Grad Transfer    Posted: 4/10/2017 9:21:15 AM  Very interesting possibility.

Let's get that Ohio Sports Ad team up there to recruit him!

If we make him exclusively a 3 point shooter than he will not be as much of a benefit. Last Edited: 4/10/2017 10:17:35 AM by allen Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

We have a number of AAU coaches in our area that used to be players (Jerrod Mustaf, Mark Alarie, Byron Mouton, Etan Thomas, Walt Williams) but have not seen any ex-coaches other than a fill-in one-game stint by Mark Turgeon.

It sounds like that is what Toledo is trying to do. I wonder if it would make sense for us to offer that too.

They both would be done next year, meaning we could sign more prospects during the early signing period. Nobody despises to lose more than I do.

Not only that, would help significantly balance the classes instead of an out of whack scholly situation, plus get the praises of another TV Analyst like we did with Kellogg.

The football team gets a Michigan grad transfer almost every year, why shouldn't the basketball team? 😜 Back to Top GoCats105 General User Member Since: 1/31/2006 Location: Seattle, WA Post Count: 7,156 Status: Offline     RE: Mark Donnal - Michigan Grad Transfer    Posted: 4/10/2017 9:08:09 PM  bigtillyoopsupsideurhead wrote: Would you take Andrew Dakich if it meant we also got Donnal for a year?

It sounds like that is what Toledo is trying to do. I wonder if it would make sense for us to offer that too. I would absolutely take both. I'd take both. Donnal by himself or Dakich by himself. Donnal wasn't a star at Michigan, but he contributed each of the last two years and seems to fit our style pretty well. One year is the perfect timeframe for one of these roster spots with all the youth we have in the post. Dakich barely played at all at Michigan. This wouldn't be a Big 10 transfer who comes in and lights the MAC on fire... But he is the son of a coach and has 3 years at a quality basketball program. We need someone next year who can spell Simmons at PG. This sounds like the perfect guy to come in and instantly pick-up our offense while providing much needed depth. If worst case scenario happens and we have a major injury, Dakich can become Ohio's Stilman White, leading us to a Sweet 16 victory.
