It didn’t end the way it was supposed to, not at the time it was supposed to, but Zavier Simpson has put on the maize and blue for the final time.
He was supposed to have a chance at more — in the Big Ten Tournament, the NCAA Tournament — but due to the growing coronavirus pandemic, Simpson, along with senior Jon Teske, have had to cherish what was, given that the final game they were preparing for was suddenly canceled just 15 minutes from tip-off.
Simpson took a moment on Sunday for some nostalgia, posting a series of pictures and a heartfelt message about the end of his college career on Instagram.
What A Crazy Ending … This has been an amazing four years through out my college career at The University of Michigan. Through all the ups and down, hatred, supporters, non supporters, fans, family and friends & etc… I’m blessed to have the opportunity to be the person I am today, Zavier Simpson. I am more than hungry that I’ve ever been through my college career on wanting to reach goals I still want to achieve in the future. With all the madness, craziness that has happened in the past few years. I have managed to stand strong through out it all. I appreciate all my friends & families, the fans who support us, my teammates, the coaching staff I’ve played under and anyone else who has helped. Not just me as a basketball player, but as a person off the court as well. Very appreciative of it all! I put all my trust in God’s hands and ask that we continue to stay faithful through out the process and help those who are in time of need.
Blessed to apart of the people God has surrounded by these past 4 years at THE University of Michigan.
Forever & Always, Go Blue
Zavier Simpson
It’s disappointing that this is how his career ends, but as the winningest Michigan player of all-time, he’ll certainly be fondly remembered in the eyes of the maize and blue faithful.
