Quick-Footed Guard Carrying Cooley High Legacy at Eastern Michigan
A super-quick guard who thrives in up-tempo systems, Mike Talley transferred to Eastern Michigan in 2012 from Duquesne University, where he showcased versatility playing both guard spots. Known for his pace-and-space excellence in open-floor situations, Talley averaged 9.4 points and 3.1 assists during his EMU tenure. His greatest differentiator? He's part of the storied Cooley High legacy—the same Detroit powerhouse that produced his namesake, Michigan's 1989 Mr. Basketball. Ideal fit for teams prioritizing ball movement and transition offense.
