3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	I believe so

	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	Noted some issues below

	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	All of the images are licensed under Creative Commons.

	7. Overall assessment.	Not yet for now, fix some issues I have said and ping me when it's all done. Thanks! FairyTailRocks (talk) 07:21, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

I may start this week, and just give me a few days because I have an exam on Monday. Thanks! FairyTailRocks (talk) 06:54, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Lead

• Link "guard" and "sophomore" to its own article.

• He is playing his sophomore season for the 2013–14 team. to He is playing his sophomore season for the 2013–14 squad or lineup Avoid redundancy.

• Remove "see" in (see video below), per WP:REDEX#B.
  • Done.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:47, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
• Don't use currently, as that is conducive to the article growing out of date.
  • O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:53, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Early life

• Link "senior" and "freshman" to its own article
  • I also find these to be odd links, but I have linked them.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:00, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
• What is the meaning of AAA? I assume that it has its own article here. Wikilink it if possible
  • In high school sports, for statewide competition, schools are divided by enrollment size. States typically use one of three designation systems. Class A, B, C, D, etc; Class 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, etc; or Class A, AA, AAA, AAAA, etc. I don't see a proper link.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:07, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
• I know the meaning of MVP but some readers doesn't know it. Replace to its whole name.

College career

• Albrecht had a modest role with the 2012–13 Wolverines team never scoring more than 7 points in a game before the NCAA Tournament. Can you make this sentence neutral? Seems like WP:EDITORIALIZING to me.
  • Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:44, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
• In the regional finals on March 31 against Florida to In the regional finals last March 31 against Florida
  • In 2 weeks that won't even be true. That change does not even make sense.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:16, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
• Following the game, Albrecht gained notoriety for tweeting with reigning Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model and Michigan fan Kate Upton about her attendance at the game. to Following the match... Again, avoid redundancy.

  • This was a ranking and not a seeding.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:26, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
• During the Michigan–Michigan State rivalry game on January 25 against the (#3) 2013–14 Spartans to During the Michigan–Michigan State rivalry game last January 25 against the (#3 seed) 2013–14 Spartans
  • This would add obsolescence to the sentence. In 10 months I would have to change it back. That is not a good idea. It should be clear that this paragraph is about the 2013-14 season.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:31, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Infobox
