We introduce you to a pair of new Michigan men's basketball players this week. First, freshman Gregg Glenn III discusses his transition to the college game (4:00), how he has grown as a basketball player (6:00), and the value his versatility can bring to the Wolverines (8:30). Then, manager-turned-walk-on Jackson Selvala stops by to take fans through the process of becoming a player for the Wolverines (15:00), before giving fans a preview of what to expect from the team and from his style of play (20:30).

0:00.0 | Everyone's story is different in how they arrive in Ann Arbor and at the University of Michigan. |
0:05.6 | Yet the two individuals we will talk to here on this episode, Greg Glenn III and Jackson Selvalla, |
0:12.0 | approach their journey in a way we've heard before. Many people will skip a few steps and pass |
0:18.4 | on a few opportunities en route to Ann Arbor. |
0:21.2 | And what I mean by that is this. |
0:23.3 | The allure and the opportunity here was worth maybe giving up a few things or looking beyond |
0:30.4 | a few other potential opportunities. |
0:32.5 | In Glenn's case, he only took one visit. |
0:35.1 | That was to Michigan. |
0:36.2 | Let's be honest here, when you go on a visit to a school |
0:38.4 | as a potential recruit, the coaches, the staff members, they roll out the red carpet. It's recruiting, |
0:45.1 | after all. Glenn, based on his talent and his potential, could have enjoyed the full recruiting |

1:12.8 | And the opportunity to represent the Wolverines to don the maize in blue in some capacity was |
1:18.6 | worth giving up that immediate chance to play. Selvalla was a manager and now he is a player on the team. |
1:25.8 | And there's no doubt that he would have played more in some of those other programs he |
1:29.8 | considered, but he has been a Wolverine since, in essence, birth. |
1:34.7 | And now he can contribute to the program and to one of the teams he grew up loving. |
1:39.3 | Now, that's not to say that Glenn or Salvalalla's approach and path to Michigan is better than any |
