The Wolverines have a loaded recruiting class coming to Ann Arbor for next season including a pair of five-star prospects in Caleb Houstan and Moussa Diabate. U-M also has two other top-75 recruits in Kobe Bufkin and Frankie Collins.
Beyond that, Terrance Williams, Zeb Jackson and Jace Howard will have another year of seasoning, plus, you never know, someone like Mike Smith or Eli Brooks could opt for another year.
Next year, there are going to be questions, especially if Brooks and Smith both decide not to return. The Wolverines could be relying on two freshmen and a sophomore as its top-three guards or a transfer could be in the mix.
But with Dickinson, Diabate, Houstan and Brandon Johns, U-M could have a really strong frontcourt. And as long as it can avoid having Diabate and Houstan both be one-and-done players, then this season could be just the start.
