Michigan Scholarship Breakdown
• Michigan’s scholarships for the 2022-23 season by class: No seniors, three juniors, six sophomores and four freshmen.
• Michigan’s scholarships for the 2022-23 season by position: Four guards, two guard/forwards, six forwards and one center (though junior Jace Howard was listed as a guard this past season, he switched to a forward, which is what we’re considering him for the time being).
Where Things Stand (April 18)
For college basketball coaches, the work doesn’t stop when the season ends nowadays, with the rise of the transfer portal and players being able to declare for the NBA Draft but return.
Michigan has three players with NBA decisions to make, and it could lose or add others to and from the portal. The Wolverines have expressed interest in several players who are looking for a new home, including former Texas Tech standout Terrence Shannon Jr.
Fifth-year senior Eli Brooks is out of eligibility. Fellow fifth-year senior guard DeVante’ Jones has one year of eligibility left, but he declared for the NBA Draft March 26, announcing his intention to end his collegiate career. Senior forward Brandon Johns Jr. and guard Adrien Nunez could each play one more year, but neither are expected back. Johns entered the transfer portal April 6, and Nunez will move on to his next phase.
With four signees slated to join the Michigan team this summer, currently, the Maize and Blue are at the 13 scholarship limit for next season, but that could change.
Underclassmen with remaining eligibility have until April 24 to declare for the 2022 NBA Draft, and, while they’re not appearing on mock drafts, there are three on the Wolverines’ roster who will likely do so in sophomore center Hunter Dickinson, freshman guard/forward Caleb Houstan and freshman forward Moussa Diabate.

Dickinson went through the process last season, and earned an invitation to the G League Elite Camp before returning for his sophomore season. He said before the year he was back for ‘one last ride,’ but that’s not set in stone.
“After the season, I took two weeks off of basketball, not worrying about anything,” Dickinson told Bally Sports Detroit at the April 11 Detroit Tigers game. “I’ve just started getting back to basketball, thinking about it. I haven’t made a decision yet but I plan on making one relatively soon.”
Should Houstan and/or Diabate go through with the June 23 NBA Draft, they’d become U-M’s second (and potentially third) one-and-done players of the century, joining Ignas Brazdeikis in 2019.
Houstan was a projected top-10 2022 pick by some heading into his freshman campaign, but he had an up-and-down season. The former five-star averaged 10.1 points and four rebounds per game, while shooting 38.4 percent overall and 35.5 percent from three-point range.
Diabate, meanwhile, wasn’t as highly touted out of high school, but he has long been viewed as a potential one- or two-year college player. He posted nine points and six rebounds per contest.
Underclassmen who declare for the draft have until June 1 at 11:59 p.m. ET to withdraw their names and retain their eligibility.
