It wasn’t always smooth sailing, but Juwan Howard and his staff landed their biggest transfer commitment of the offseason on Wednesday when Olivier Nkamhoua announced his decision. Nkamhoua had been linked to the Wolverines for two months, but publicly eliminated them from contention on Monday afternoon, only to reverse course and decide to attend Michigan.
With Nkamhoua officially in the fold, here’s a deep dive into his fit, Michigan’s roster, what comes next and what to make of this tumultuous offseason.
Still to come
- Michigan is betting on Nkamhoua being more than he's been (and that's a reasonable bet)
- The young core still needs to stabilize the program
- Michigan successfully upgraded the power forward spot this offseason
- … but Michigan hasn't replaced what walked out the door
- Making the NCAA Tournament is the goal
