I know a lot of us don't like the Worldwide Leader, but we still tune in. So if you had to pick one to watch, would you go Desmond or Jalen?
I thought Desmond's first year on Gameday was rough, but he has gotten exponentially better since and I enjoy watching. Watching Jalen on this NBA pre-game though really has me thinking he has jumped Des for my favorite Michigan on-air personality.
Thoughts?

I like Desmond. But that might be just because I like football better than basketball. They're both great, though.

I like Desmond more as a persona but I think Rose is the more polished TV guy. Howard has gotten much better though

I think Desmond is the better TV guy, but Jalen shouts out Michigan more, so call it a tie

Good point, Webber is better than both, although obv he's not on ESPN like the other two.
As far as guys on ESPN, I think Brian Griese is decent in the booth.

I think Desmond came into his own this year, but Jalen's personality shines through more easily on camera. Both have become solid analysts though.

I am not a Webber fan anymore. Not doing anything with the Fab Five documentary and not answering questions about the scandal makes me just think he's hiding stuff when he's on TV.
Love Griese and his work during games. And love Marcus Ray on WTKA, hopefully he gets a BTN job soon.
