Michigan Thursday: The Story Is Coming Together

Yesterday, I started wondering out loud if we had the full story regarding the basketball transfers and recruits coming to Ann Arbor.  The dots in that situation are starting to connect.

Leaving

David DeJulius is in the transfer portal

Colin Castleton is also in the portal.  CC has some nice upside, but his frame and strength was always going to be a concern.   

X and Teske are seniors and out of eligibility. 

Coming?

Jace Howard is a solid commit and will now walk-on 

Isaiah Todd announced on IG live last night that he will be a Wolverine 

All reports seem to be positive that 5 star SG Josh Cristopher is heading to Ann Arbor, official announcement on Monday. 

A transfer?  Bryce Aiken is announcing today, his pick is not expected to be Michigan

Coming Back?

Austin Davis will be back for a 5th year.   That was not expected at the start of the season.  

Isaiah Livers will look at the NBA but says if he can't get a guaranteed contract he will come back.  Right now, many mock drafts have him listed between 80-100 which leads to Livers being back.


There can be 13 basketball scholarships, here is how I estimate the slots (highlighted):

Freshman
Todd
Christopher 
Dickinson
Jackson 
Williams 
Howard 

Sophomores
Wagner 
Bajema
Wade 

Juniors
Nunez 
Johns 

Seniors
Davis 
Brooks 
Livers

Transfer?

There you go!  I hope the above happens.

• Remember 2020 DT Denver Warren who decommitted from Michigan?  He is headed to prep school.  

• Michigan is looking at Miss State DT transfer Fabien Lovett, he played for Bob Shoop at MSU.   Did I mention he is 330 pounds?  Yes, Please!!!   Michigan's defense needs a big nose tackle run stopper. 

• 4 star CB from Dallas Ishmael Ibraheem has Michigan in his top 10
