2. Caleb Houstan needs to start getting hot again

Caleb Houstan was the feature star coming into the Wolverines team this season. One of the highest-rated recruits to ever come to Michigan in the last 30 years seemed poised to have an insane season under the guidance of Howard, however, it’s been a rollercoaster .

With loads of inconsistency and poor performances, we’re not sure what to make out of Caleb right now.

We see sparks of brilliance and loads of resemblance from Juwan Howard down low, but how come we can’t see that every night from a player who was projected as a lottery pick heading into the season.

Well, in the last game against Southern Utah, we saw a middle ground from Caleb which was a new feat.

Typically, Caleb was either on or off, but he broke that trend and was just average. Hopefully, this break helps Caleb snap out of whatever shooting spell he’s been under and he builds his confidence from this point forward.
