Michigan Basketball players are bulking up this offseason

Michigan Basketball is proving that young men will indeed keep growing into their early 20s. Although the Wolverines are losing talents like Mo Wagner, Duncan Robinson, and Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman, their players are gaining mass and still getting taller.

According to Andrew Kahn of Mlive, “Nine of the 11 returning players are listed at a heavier weight than last season; eight players went up exactly five pounds.Two players are supposedly an inch taller than last season: rising sophomore guards Jordan Poole (now listed at 6-foot-5) and Eli Brooks (6-foot-1).
