Spoke to multiple people, so this is somewhat a mixed bag of reports / opinions.
Regarding Aden Holloway, I can’t confirm if Dusty himself contacted him yesterday. With how Dusty has been working the portal, I’d bet on, yes he did. But obviously can’t confirm that.
Rewinding back to his high school recruitment, there was much interest from the Holloway’s in Michigan, considering his mom is an alum. During the recruitment, Juwan focused more on Jeremy Fears, the teammate of Holloway and now player for MSU. This created a sense of resentment towards Michigan, but the person I directly spoke to said it was more so Juwan, as he represented Michigan. To confirm that note, his sister committed to Michigan for basketball, so the holloways still hold Michigan the institution in high regard.
Now where it gets interesting, I was told that Aden’s mom would love Aden to be with his sister at Michigan (what mom wouldn’t, duh). BUT, if Juwan was still at Michigan, this would not be an option for the Holloways, call them stubborn, but I do understand the animosity in being put on the back burner for a teammate you think you’re better than.
Direct Quote: “Now that Dusty is there, Michigan is certainly a player for Aden again.”
I do get the sense Aden will not transfer somewhere to come off the bench, so unless Dusty plans on playing Aden and Johnell Davis at the same time, I’m not entirely sure the seriousness of this situation. But it is worth noting they’re interested in Michigan again.
