On Monday, Michigan basketball head coach Dusty May acknowledged that the Wolverines will likely need to replace not just Vlad Goldin, but also Danny Wolf.
Goldin will be out of eligibility. Wolf still has some remaining but May said he expects both to be playing in the NBA next season.
That means Michigan basketball need to replace three of its five starters. Rubin Jones is also out of eligibility after this season.
The Wolverines have been active and were linked to a few transfers early in the process. That list has grown. Michigan basketball has been active with a slew of transfer portal targets since then and here's the latest since our original update.
Malik Reneau, Indiana
Malik Reneau averaged 13.3 points per game this season for Indiana in addition to 5.5 rebounds per game. Reneau could be a quality replacement for Vlad Goldin. He shot 59 percent or better on 2-point attempts in each of the past two seasons and shot 55 percent overall.
Reneau has only made 20 3-point field goals in his career. But he's a solid free throw shooter and excels at getting to the free throw line. The 6-foot-9 forward is also a solid defender and rebounder.
Per @TiptonEdits, Michigan has been in contact with Indiana PF transfer Malik Reneau.https://t.co/hr1OqJPeV1 pic.twitter.com/k9UXLdR1Bd

He's not quite as good as Vlad Goldin, but he's started 55 games in the Big Ten. Michigan basketball could do a lot worse. The Wolverines have been in contact with him, and this is a recruitment to monitor.
Cooper Schwieger, Valpo
Cooper Schwieger is another big man on the radar for Michigan basketball, according to Joe Tipton of On3.com. The 6-foot-10 forward has been stellar for Valpo the past two seasons. He scored 15.8 points per game this season after 13.2 as a freshman.
Schwieger also led the Missouri Valley Conference with two blocks per game. He shot 55 percent on 2-point attempts, in addition to 7.8 rebounds per game. As a freshman he shot 36 percent from the 3-point line. That dipped down to 29 percent this season, but there is heavy interest and it's easy to see why.
Izaiah Pasha, Delaware
Michigan basketball will need to add some guards to the roster too, especially after the departure of Justin Pippen.
Izaiah Pasha is one name to know. He told The Portal Report that Michigan has shown interest and it's easy to see why. He's a 6-foot-4 guard who scored 11.9 points per game in addition to 4.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists.
May loves to have multiple playmakers on the floor. Pasha shot 33 percent from beyond the arc, too. He's got all the tools to be a perfect fit for Michigan basketball, so this is one to monitor.
Nik Graves, G Charlotte
Michigan basketball has also been in contact with Charlotte guard Nik Graves, a 6-foot-3 scorer who averaged 17 points per game last season.
Graves could be an ideal combo guard. He averaged 2.7 assists last season and is a career 33 percent 3-point shooter. He would have one season of eligibility, but he is more of a scorer than defender, which wouldn't be the worst fit for Michigan, depending on who else he's added.
