Michigan Wolverines news: Tim Hardaway Jr. Sparks Mavs in NBA Finals, plus more
Michigan basketball fans have been wondering where Tim Hardaway Jr. has been in the NBA Finals. He got a mention from Michael Wilbon but the Mavericks have kept the former Michigan Wolverines standout on the bench during the NBA Finals.
With the season on the line though in Game 4 on Friday night, Hardaway got his opportunity and made the most of it, sinking five 3-pointers. The Michigan basketball alum scored 15 points, which matched the high scorer of the Celtics as Dallas cruised to a 122-84 victory to force a Game 5.
That will be played on Sunday.
Michigan Wolverines landed a top-100 commitment in 2025 class
In case you missed it, the Michigan football program landed its second top-100 commitment of the 2025 class as Kainoa Winston, a four-star safety out of Washington, D.C., committed to the Michigan Wolverines on Friday.
Winston is 5-foot-10, 185 pounds, and is ranked 88th overall according to the 247 Sports composite rankings. Winston is the seventh commitment in the 2025 class for the Wolverines who have a blue-chip ratio of 100 percent in the class right now.
It also features two top-100 commitments after Michigan football signed just one top-100 recruit in the past two classes. Michigan football recruiting might not be where some want it to be, but things are trending up under Sherrone Moore.
Top WR target chooses Ohio State
Quincy Porter is a top-50 overall prospect in the 2025 class and the talented wideout from New Jersey was expected to take an official visit to see the Michigan football program this weekend.
However, Porter committed to Ohio State instead. He visited the Buckeyes last weekend and they were able to seal the deal. It's a blow, but there are a couple of wideouts on campus this weekend, plus Taz Williams has been trending to Michigan.

The Michigan Wolverines are also a player in the recruitment of five-star wideout Derek Meadows, but it still stings to miss out on Porter, especially before getting him on campus for the official visit.
