How the hire of Juwan Howard will impact recruiting for Michigan basketball

The Michigan Wolverines officially have their new head basketball coach — U-M basketball alum Juwan Howard.

The Fab Five member will look to get things back on track after former head coach John Beilein announced he would be leaving the university to become the coach of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers.

One of the first orders of business for Howard as the new head coach is to get the ball rolling on recruiting. After 4-star forward Jalen Wilson requested a release from his letter of intent after the Beilein news — and is now reportedly eyeing Kansas and North Carolina — the Wolverines were left with one player in their 2019 class.
