When it comes to international players, Michigan basketball head coach Dusty May has a type, and the newest commitment of the Wolverines, in the 2026 class, Marcus Moller, fits it perfectly.
The 7-foot-3, 230-pounder from Denmark announced his commitment to Michigan basketball on Tuesday after recently taking a visit to Ann Arbor this spring. He also visited Colorado State, SMU, and Oklahoma State.
Moller is unranked via the 247 Sports composite rankings. Here's more from Dylan Burkhardt of UM Hoops about the big man who will join Michigan basketball in 2026-27.
"Moller plays his club basketball in the fourth tier of Spanish basketball (Tercera FEB) with Unicaja Malaga. He averaged 15.9 points and 6.9 rebounds in 29.3 minutes per game in Spain. Shooting 55.1% on twos and 39.4% on threes (22-of-56) in 17 games. He played his way onto the international radar and college scene last summer at the FIBA U18 EuroBasket, where he averaged 13.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game. Denmark was relegated to the B Division after finishing last at last year’s event. Rosters haven’t been published for this year’s event, which runs from July 25th to August 3rd, but Moller should be eligible to play."
The thing that stands out is that Moller is 7-foot-3, and shot 39 percent from 3-point range in 56 attempts last season. Major college basketball is a level up, but he also played well on the international stage.
Moller isn't Vlad Goldin. He's not in that mold of player. He's not a post-up threat. He'll be good in ball screen situations and does move well without the ball.
This commitment is about upside. Moller will need to get stronger but he's got the tools to be a good player down the road. He can be a shot blocker, has some playmaking ability and could be a dangerous in a couple of years if the 3-point shot falls
The Wolverines also added German 7-footer Malick Kordel to the 2025 class in June. That's in addition to 7-foot-1 UCLA transfer Ada Mara, another international player.
Mara is the Vlad Goldin replacement. Moller won't be on the roster until next season, but he gives Michigan basketball another player with extraordinary size and a really high ceiling.
