Purdue recently announced that Patrick Bade -- all 6-foot-8 and 230 pounds of him -- left its basketball program and will join the Boilermaker football team as a tight end.

That move got us wondering which Michigan basketball player would fans most like to see wearing a winged helmet on fall Saturdays?

How about Tim Hardaway Jr. as a 6-foot-5 wideout? Can't you envision Zack Novak lining up at fullback with a paint-chipped helmet and bent facemask? Or Jordan Morgan as a pass-rushing defensive end?
