Plenty of potential and plenty to learn for Michigan's vaunted freshman class

ANN ARBOR -- Michigan's five-member freshman class has been on campus most of the summer, long enough to make impressions on their older teammates.

And Wolverines junior point guard Zavier Simpson has certainly noticed the enthusiasm coming from freshman Ignas Brazdeikis every time he scores.

"Every time he scores, he's flexing up," Simpson said. "I like it, because that's what we need. I like that greediness, and I tell him to do that every time. If you don't do it, I'm on his butt about it."

That enthusiastic freshman class will make for a new-look Michigan team in 2018-19, as the Wolverines replace three of their top four scorers from last year's national runner-up team.
