Previous season

edit

The Michigan Wolverines finished the 2023–24 season with an 8–24 record, 3–17 in the conference, finishing last in the Big Ten. As the No. 14 seed in the 2024 Big Ten tournament, they lost to Penn State in the first round.[1]

Offseason

edit

On March 15, 2024, Michigan fired head coach Juwan Howard.[2] In the subsequent days, guards George Washington III and Dug McDaniel entered the NCAA transfer portal.[3] They were followed by center Tarris Reed and forward Youssef Khayat on March 19.[4]

On March 23, Michigan hired former Florida Atlantic head coach Dusty May to be their next head coach.[5] On April 4, McDaniel announced he would transfer to Kansas State.[6] The same day, May hired former Georgia assistant Akeem Miskdeen and former Oklahoma State head coach Mike Boynton to his coaching staff.[7] Forward Will Tschetter became the first player to announce his return to the team, and forward Terrance Williams II decided to both enter the transfer portal and declare for the 2024 NBA draft.[8][9] On April 9, Youssef Khayat announced his departure for Bowling Green.[10] On April 11, George Washington III removed his name from the transfer portal, becoming the second player to return to the team.[11]

The same day, May hired former Saint Mary's associate head coach Justin Joyner to the coaching staff.[12] On April 16, May hired two former assistants from Florida Atlantic, Drew Williamson and Kyle Church, to complete his coaching staff.[13] When the NCAA expanded coaching staff limits from 3 to 5 assistants in 2023, it determined that the two additional coaches may engage in coaching activities but may not recruit off campus.[14] On April 17, Tarris Reed announced he would transfer to the back-to-back defending national champion UConn Huskies.[15] On April 18, May formally presented his staff with clarifying titles for Kyle Church (assistant coach/general manager) and Drew Williamson (assistant coach/director of player development), which are different from the other three assistant coaches that have no secondary title, and presenting Brandon Gilbert as special assistant to the head coach.[16][17]

On April 19, high school prospect Justin Pippen gave a verbal commitment to Michigan, May's first commitment as head coach. Two hours later, Rubin Jones announced he would come to Michigan as a graduate transfer from North Texas where he had been a Conference USA All-Freshman (2021) and All-Defensive (2023) selection. He was May's first transfer portal commitment.[18][19] On April 20, Michigan secured its second transfer portal commitment under May, as 7 ft 0 in (2.13 m) 2024 Ivy League tournament MVP Danny Wolf of Yale committed to the Wolverines. Wolf was ranked as the #28 overall ranked prospect in the transfer portal and was a first-team All-Ivy League selection (2024).[20] The following day, April 21, Tre Donaldson of Auburn committed to the Wolverines, Michigan's third transfer portal acquisition. Donaldson was a four star transfer prospect, ranked #92 overall.[21] On April 22, Michigan received a transfer commitment from former archrival Ohio State guard, Roddy Gayle Jr. He was Michigan's fourth transfer portal addition in as many days. Gayle was rated as a four star transfer portal prospect, ranked #62 overall (number 6 shooting guard). As a high school recruit he was ranked as the #50 overall prospect (number 3 shooting guard) in the national recruiting class of 2022.[22] That same day, four star sophomore forward Sam Walters of Alabama became Michigan's fifth transfer portal commitment.[23] He was a top 100 transfer prospect, ranking #98 overall.

On April 23, high school guard L.J. Cason committed to the 2024 recruiting class, giving Dusty May and Michigan seven total commitments in five days.[24] On April 29, Vladislav Goldin, Russian born former Florida Atlantic University starting center, withdrew from the NBA draft process to join his former head coach in Ann Arbor, giving Dusty May eight new off season commitments in the month of April. Goldin was a second-team All-American Athletic Conference (2024) and third-team All-Conference USA (2023) selection, ranked as the #46 overall player in the transfer portal.[25][26] On the same day, Washington III re-entered the NCAA transfer portal,[27] eventually transferring to Richmond on May 9.[28][29] On April 30, Nimari Burnett officially announced he would be staying in Ann Arbor, the second tenured Wolverine to return along with Tschetter.[30] Burnett and Goldin were freshman year roommates and teammates as members of Texas Tech's 2020 recruiting class.[31][32] Hours after Burnett's announcement, Williams II informed the team that he would transfer to USC for his final season.[33]

On May 13, May hired Matt Aldred to work as the men's basketball strength and conditioning coach, both were assistant coaches for the 2017-18 Florida Gators. Before joining Michigan Aldred served on the staff of the Furman Paladins, and last season was the nation's first strength and conditioning coach to achieve the title "assistant head coach/director of basketball performance".[34]

On November 8, 2023, Michigan signed four-star guards Christian Anderson Jr. and Phat Phat Brooks to their National Letter of Intent (NLI).[35] Brooks attended Grand Rapids Catholic Central High School and was awarded the 2024 Mr. Basketball of Michigan.[36] Following the firing of Juwan Howard in 2024, Michigan lost top 50 ranked commit Khani Rooths on March 18, and signee Christian Anderson on March 29.[37][38] On April 19, Justin Pippen, the son of Scottie Pippen, became the first high school or transfer portal commitment for Dusty May and the highest ranked high school recruit May had ever landed. Pippen was a late riser, entering the rankings in the fall of his senior year at 191 and rising to number 60 by the years end.[39] On April 23, former Florida Atlantic signee and three star guard L.J. Cason followed May to Michigan, pledging his verbal commitment.[40]

2025 recruiting class

edit

On October 18, 2024, Michigan landed its first class of 2025 recruit, Winters Grady of Prolific Prep in Napa, California. At the time of his commitment, the four-star Lake Oswego, Oregon native was ranked 83 in the 2025 national class by 247Sports.[41] On October 23, Michigan received their second commitment from Auckland, New Zealand native Oscar Goodman, who was the 2023 FIBA Under-16 Asian Championship MVP and a 2024 FIBA Under-17 Basketball World Cup All-Tournament first team selection.[42][43] He was rated as a top 100, four-star player by On3, but unrated by 247Sports at the time of his commitment.[44] On November 9, the Wolverines earned their third commitment from Flint, Michigan native and five-star guard from St. Mary's Preparatory, Trey McKenney. McKenney won a gold medal and started every game with the United States men's national under-18 basketball team in the 2024 FIBA Under-18 AmeriCup in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the time of his commitment, he was ranked as the No. 16 overall player in the country by ESPN and No. 19 in 247Sports’ composite rankings.[45][46] All three players officially signed their national letter of intent (NLI) during the early signing period in November 2024.[47]
