Dusty May isn't letting off the gas after Michigan's National Championship

There feels like there is a major difference between Michigan's most recent national championships.

Jim Harbaugh already had one foot out the door after leading the Wolverines to a national championship in the 2023 season. He was ready for the NFL, and ready to move on from the NCAA.

That felt like the end of an era. For Michigan basketball, with Dusty May, this feels like just the beginning. That's something May even echoed in an interview with 247 Sports, where he talked about how it was important to capitalize on the national championship, instead of celebrating it.

"If you don't capitalize on something like this, then you're sitting here wondering what happened when you take a step backwards," May said.

Michigan is already working on next national championship

Right after Michigan defeated UConn last Monday for the national championship, May was talking about making the 2027 Final Four in Detroit, literally in his post-game interviews on the floor where he just won the national championship.

That's the kind of drive it takes to be a national champion, and Michigan basketball fans should be beyond grateful that Dusty May is their head coach.

The dude is a machine. He's already landed one of the best bigs in the transfer portal, J.P. Estrella, who is ranked in the top 25 among transfers by ESPN, The Athletic, and 247 Sports.

May is working to add Juke Harris, a dynamic guard from Wake Forest, but the biggest moves of the offseason were locking up Elliot Cadeau and Trey McKenney. Michigan basketball might have the best 1-2 guard combo in college hoops, which is a great place to start building a title contender.

Regardless of what happens in the portal, you can bet May will field one of the best rosters in college basketball next season. The man won't rest until he does, which is why this Michigan program went from eight wins to the national title in just two seasons.
