Michigan basketball's top grad-transfer target picks North Carolina

Michigan basketball's offseason began with some uncertainty and a pair of departures to the NBA.

The Wolverines struck out on one of their top recruiting targets when former William & Mary forward Justin Pierce, a graduate transfer eligible to play immediately next fall, picked North Carolina on Thursday.

Pierce, who played three seasons at William & Mary, was one of the most coveted players on the graduate transfer market this spring.
