Summary
In this episode, we break down where things stand with the Michigan basketball team after more attrition, and what's next for the Wolverines.
We begin by unpacking the transfer departure of rising sophomore wing player Cole Bajema. We look at his brief career with the Wolverines, the potential reasons behind his transfer and what's next for him. We also look at if it's possible that the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic played a role in his decision to depart this far into the offseason.
From there, we turn our discussion to where the Wolverines could look next to fill now two scholarship openings. Shaw outlines why Michigan should not simply want to bank the scholarship for the 2021 class, while the two break down several transfer options that are available to the Wolverines.
