Michigan basketball coach Juwan Howard has extended an offer to one of the top players in the nation.

Bellflower (Calif.) Mayfair guard Josh Christopher, a 5-star prospect for the class of 2020, said Tuesday night that he had received an offer from the Wolverines.

"Blessed to receive an offer from coach Howard and Michigan!" Christopher tweeted.

Christopher is one of the first recruits that Howard has offered in his short tenure at U-M — if not the first.
