Michigan basketball lands commitment from Duke transfer Joey Baker

Michigan has dipped into the transfer portal once again and added some last-minute help.

Duke transfer Joey Baker, who spent the past four years with the Blue Devils, will play his fifth and final season with the Wolverines, according to a report from Sports Illustrated’s Jason Jordan.

Baker entered the transfer portal in May, one month after he announced his plans to take advantage of the NCAA’s extra year of eligibility granted due to COVID-19. He took visits to George Washington, Georgia and Michigan before making his decision to join the Wolverines.

Baker, a former top-40 recruit, primarily played a reserve role during his time at Duke.
