Michigan junior center Hunter Dickinson is a candidate for college basketball’s player of the year award.
From a Michigan press release:
For the third straight season, junior Hunter Dickinson was named to the 20-player watch list for the National Association of Basketball Coaches Player of the Year. He is one of three Big Ten players to make the preseason list along with Zach Edey (Purdue) and Trayce Jackson-Davis (Indiana). The remaining 17 members include: Max Abmas (Oral Roberts), Armando Bacot (North Carolina), Colin Castleton (Florida), Kendric Davis (Memphis), RJ Davis (North Carolina), Adam Flagler (Baylor), Keyonte George (Baylor), Jaime Jaquez Jr. (UCLA), Caleb Love (North Carolina), Mike Miles Jr. (TCU), Marcus Sasser (Houston), Nick Smith Jr. (Arkansas), Adama Sanogo (UConn), Drew Timme (Gonzaga), Oscar Tshiebwe (Kentucky), Jalen Wilson (Kansas) and Isaiah Wong (Miami, Fla.). In 2013, U-M great Trey Burke received the NABC honor becoming the first Wolverine to do so. The 2023 NABC Player of the Year — selected by a vote of Division I head coaches — will be announced the week of the 2023 Men’s Final Four in Houston.
Michigan picks up a preferred walk-on commitment from Ada (Mich.) Forest Hills Eastern running back / outside linebacker Bryson Kuzdzal.

Michigan’s defense has been outstanding at stopping the run this season, and the run defense is only ascending, with three of its last four opponents having been held to below 50 yards rushing. Michigan’s formula has been simple — stop the run, get the opposing quarterback into third and long situations and pin their ears back. For example, MSU averaged 8.8 yards to go on third downs last week.
Quote Of The Day
“It was another great experience. I really enjoyed everything and all the coaches. The crowd was lit, and I was really into the game. They have the best stadium in college football. Michigan is a really amazing school, and I will for sure be back for other visit. … They are for sure going to be a championship team again this year. I love how the Michigan defense only gave up one touchdown against Michigan State. All the defensive backs know what they’re doing on the field. That means a lot to me.”
