Summary
In this episode, we take a look at the Michigan basketball team's offseason, looking at newcomers, departures and expectations for the 2021-22 season.
We first look at the Wolverines' addition of Coastal Carolina transfer Devante' Jones, and discuss why he is such a strong fit with Michigan. We discuss his on-court impact and how he adds stability to the guard room, how his versatility gives the Wolverines a lot of lineup options and how his culture buy-in is already manifesting itself.
Then, we recap Michigan's departures, and why the Wolverines bringing back Eli Brooks was such a big win. We discuss the losses of Franz Wagner, Chaundee Brown Jr., Mike Smith, Isaiah Livers and Austin Davis as well. After that, we look at Michigan's nation-leading recruiting class in the country, and what kind of immediate impact each prospect in the 2021 class can have. We then go position-by-position looking at the starter and depth heading into next season.
We close with a look at Michigan expectations heading into next season. We discuss why the Wolverines should be considered favorites for the Big Ten in 2022, and assess where in the top 10 Michigan should be nationally based on the offseason so far.
