Welcome on into the Wolverine.com podcast. Clayton Safie here with Chris Ballas and Anthony Broome on Thursday, May 29th. We will talk some Michigan basketball with Yaxel Lendaborg withdrawing from the NBA draft. He will play at Michigan next season. Wolverines with 12 scholarship players on the roster as of right now,

potentially more to come. We'll break down how he fits what the roster is looking like

at this point, what the outlook for this team is now that we know exactly what he will do.

And we have some kickoff times for Michigan football, six of them that were released today,

pretty much most of the first half of the season.

So we'll talk about those as well.

Wolverines will open up with two nightgames

for the first time in program history.

So home against New Mexico night game at Oklahoma

should be a tough challenge at night then.

fellas yaxel lendiborg a huge addition to this roster was you know one foot in one foot out

goes to the combine, does well there,

but ends up not getting the guarantee he was looking for and is now going to be a Michigan

Wolverine. It kind of goes back to what I said after coming back from the combine in Chicago.

Like, yeah, he said he was 50-50. He was originally 60-40, Michigan.

Then 50-50 was maybe swept up in the process. But as I said at the time, like, I don't know how much that really matters. He's either going to get a guarantee or he's not. He didn't. And he'll play at Michigan and be one of the best players in the Big Ten next year. Yeah, it kind of goes back to what I said after my one-on-one with Dusty about three weeks ago, too, when he kind of, without speaking about Yaxel, because he couldn't because he wasn't really signed officially yet, he looked like the cat that ate the canary when I brought it up. And, you know, he said, nope, I can't talk about that, clearly, but, you know, you could just kind of see in his eyes that he was really excited about the possibility.

And then after talking to him, I talked to some other people close to Lendeborg who talked about that possibility.

Hey, if he does not get a first round guarantee.
