Reflecting on Michigan’s season and looking ahead to the offseason

Michigan’s season came to an end on Thursday night against Villanova in San Antonio, which means that we’ve officially entered the most tumultuous time of the season. The four-to-six weeks following the regular season were already chaotic with NBA decisions, coaching changes, and late recruiting, but they’ve reached a new level of hysteria with the transfer portal and instant eligibility.

On paper, Michigan’s 2022-23 roster is technically full right now but it will change, then change again as roster decisions are made in the coming days and weeks. Here are some thoughts on Michigan’s 2021-22 season after a weekend to reflect as well as a look forward at U-M’s upcoming roster, inevitable moves, the transfer portal and much more.

Still to come

  1. The shadow of expectations was inescapable
  2. There are roster decisions to come
  3. Experience is important and Michigan needs some
  4. Hunter Dickinson's sophomore year should be remembered
  5. Roster construction hurt Michigan more on defense than offense
