The bad news is Michigan lost three starters and five of its top seven scorers from last year’s team.
The good news is the Wolverines won’t have to replace leading scorer and consensus second-team All-American Hunter Dickinson.
After initially exploring his opportunity to turn pro, Dickinson withdrew his name from NBA Draft consideration on Tuesday and announced he will return to Ann Arbor for his sophomore season.
"One last ride," Dickinson tweeted, with a photo of himself and the words "Ann Arbor...I'm back."
The 7-foot-1 center started 23 of Michigan’s 28 games last season and was one of the top first-year players in the nation, helping the Wolverines win the Big Ten regular-season title and advance to the Elite Eight.
