Throughout this whirlwind of a roster rebuild, I’ve tried to distinguish a pattern among the players that Dusty May has recruited to come to Michigan, via the transfer portal and from the 2024 class. All these players are obviously talented, but after thinking about it for a while and breaking down the film of all these players, it finally clicked:
Every player that May has recruited to come to Michigan thrives when running ball screens.
The past two seasons, Florida Atlantic May had a top-25 offense in adjusted efficiency on KenPom, and running a ball-screen-heavy offense well is a big reason why.
