You'd think after winning the national championship that Dusty May and Michigan would be able to relax a bit, right? Nope, the hard work doesn't stop, as the Wolverines are looking at the transfer portal to build the roster for a run at back-to-back titles.

Currently, all eyes are on Wake Forest transfer Juke Harris, who will be making his way to Ann Arbor this weekend for an official visit. Before he even sets foot on campus, there's major buzz that UM has this one in the bag. Joe Tipton of On3 put in his official prediction for Michigan to land Harris, with his profile page showing 100 percent confidence (as of this writing) for the reigning champs.

Obviously, this would be a major get for May and his staff, as Harris is a bonafide stud. Per the On3 rankings, he's the No. 1 shooting guard transfer in the country and the No. 3 transfer overall for this class. That's not a shocker, as he's the kind of playmaker who can drill shots from all over the hardwood.
Last season for Wake Forest, the 6-7, 200-pounder posted 21.4 points per game, while adding 6.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per contest. He was brilliant with the ball in his hands, but he's understandably looking for a new home where he can push for titles.
With the greatest of respect for Wake Forest, Harris won't be able to do so if he stays put. The Wolverines are fresh off a dream season and May put on a coaching clinic from start to finish in the NCAA Tournament. Things were only made better with him turning down the UNC job too.
Again, we would have hoped the staff could have celebrated the natty a bit, but there are no days off for May and this weekend in particular is going to be a big one recruiting wise. Will Harris end up giving Michigan the news it's hoping for? Don't be stunned at all if he ends up doing so while in town.
