As the early portal targts have signed to other programs, new ones have emerged. While I'm still holdig out hope for Jamir Watkins, Ian Jackson, or Rodney Rice, these are probably not realistic at this time.
- Xaivian Lee- 6'4", 180 PG, Princeton- Junior- 16.9 PPG, 6.1 Rebounds, 5.5 Assists, 44% FG, 37% from 3, 79% FT, 1.2 steals. Michigan seems to have a pretty good track record with Ivy League transfers- Mike Smith and most recently, Danny Wolf, though I will purposely ignore the never healthy Jaelin Llewellyn.😏He would fit as a long stretch PG and second ball-handler on the team. Decent 3-point shooter on a high volume (154 attempts).
- Blake Harper- 6'8", 210 SG, Howard- Freshman- 19.5 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 3.4 APG, 45% FG, 40% from 3, 83% FT, 1.1 steals. Super-tall SG prospect (freshman) who already shows star qualities. CAN shoot- 40-99 from 3. Will his skills translate to a bigger conference? 16 points vs Kansas and 23 vs Cincinnatti makes it seem so.
- Kennard Davis Jr.- 6'6", 215 SG/SF, SIU- Sophomore- 16.3 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 2.6 APG, 46% FG, 38% from 3, 76% FT, 1.3 steals. Big and physical swing man, more solid than spectacular in any area. Good defender with length.
- Cedric Coward- 6'6", SG/SF, WSU- Transfer- Only played in 6 games in 2024-25 (injury)- 17.7 PPG, 7 RPG, 3.7 APG, 56% FG, 40% from 3, 84% FT, 1.7 blocks- The previous season with Eastern Washington he averaged a similar 15.4 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 1.7 APG, on 57/38/90 shooting splits, 1.9 "stocks" per game. Good, but not great three-point shooter, strong body for a guard. Defensive-minded.
- Treysen Eaglestaff- 6'6", 190, SG, North Dakota- Junior- 18.9 PPG, 2.8 RPG, 2.4 APG, 42% FG, 36% from 3, 79% FT, 1.1 steal. High-volume three-point shooter (made 164 the last 2 seasons) who committed to South Carolina in the portal, then decommitted. The rumor is WVU, but why would he trade one mediocre program for another? Michigan should kick the tires, at least if really looking for a shooter.
