Note: The original draft of this article had Joey Baker coming back, but he has since opted to go pro. The predictions in this article will be edited to reflect that shortly.
It’s been a busy offseason for the Michigan Wolverines. The men’s basketball program will be without their three leading scorers from last season, with Hunter Dickinson entering the transfer portal and Jett Howard and Kobe Bufkin forgoing the rest of their eligibility to the NBA Draft. Including Isaiah Barnes, who also entered the portal, and Joey Baker, who hired an agent and will be pursuing a pro career, Michigan will lose at least five scholarship players from last year’s roster.
