When Brandon Johns Jr. came to Ann Arbor, he was one of the most sought-after players in Michigan and a Top-70 recruit in the Class of 2018. Under John Beilein, Johns played more than 10 minutes in four games and was seen as a promising prospect that could crack the starting lineup and be a big piece moving forward.
Then Juwan Howard took over and he was asked to change his game a little. He was a starter for a large portion of 2019-20 with an injury to Isaiah Livers, but he struggled to find his groove with the team late in the season when Livers returned to the floor.
