Report: Michigan to visit Yale transfer center Danny Wolf

Michigan is expected to conduct an in-home visit with Yale transfer Danny Wolf on Tuesday, according to @TrillyDonovan. He was one of the top centers in the Ivy League this year.

Wolf had a breakout season in 2023-24 for the Bulldogs, averaging 14.1 points and 9.7 rebounds to lead the program to an Ivy League title and a victory over Auburn in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. In that game, he had 13 points, five rebounds and three assists as Yale pulled off the 78-76 stunner over the No. 4-seeded Tigers. He also won the Ivy League Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player award.

After entering the transfer portal, Danny Wolf became the No. 6 overall player in the On3 Industry Transfer Rankings and the No. 3-ranked center to hit the open market so far this cycle.

Michigan is just a few weeks in to the Dusty May era in Ann Arbor after he replaced Juwan Howard. The Wolverines have been active in the portal, as well, reaching out to multiple players after May took over the program March 23.

Of course, there are also challenges when it comes to transfer recruiting at Michigan with the admissions policies – and they’ve come up in the last couple years, as Howard noted during a press conference this year.

As for how he’ll navigate those circumstances, May is planning to draw from his time on staff at Florida. He said the admissions philosophy is similar in Gainesville, and it’s an important part of the conversation when it comes to transfer recruitments.

“I was an assistant coach at the University of Florida and it was very similar,” May said during his introductory press conference. “There’s an academic mission of the university that’s never going to change. And our job, as coaches, is to find student athletes that match and value that mission, as well.

“Sometimes, it’s just like the Louisville thing. Social media takes off, and it becomes a narrative. And it’s impossible to respond to or even counter. So, to answer your question, we will be very thorough. We’ll do the homework as much as possible and try to find the best guys for us.”
