Michigan basketball misses out on grad transfer Bryce Aiken, who picks Seton Hall

Michigan basketball's eventful offseason continued Thursday afternoon.

Graduate transfer point guard Bryce Aiken turned down the Wolverines, picking Seton Hall over Michigan, Iowa State and Maryland.

Aiken, who spent the last four years at Harvard, was one of the most coveted players available on the grad transfer market. The former top-100 recruit (ranked No. 86 overall in the 2016 class by the 247Sports Composite rankings) averaged 16.7 points in eight games this past season. The season before, he averaged a career-high 22.2 points in 18 games, shooting 39.8% on 7.1 3-point attempts per contest.

Aiken was pursued by numerous schools and whittled his list down to the aforementioned four programs, all of which saw their starting point guards move on via either graduation or the NBA draft.
