JUWAN HOWARD

Juwan Howard values experience, and made it clear with his captains for the 2022-23 Michigan men’s basketball season. Michigan’s three longest-tenured players will serve as captains: juniors Hunter Dickinson, Jace Howard, and Terrance Williams II. Michigan has no seniors on the roster and its two graduate students are both transfers in their first year with the program. Kobe Bufkin is the only returner who saw meaningful action for Michigan last season. The Wolverines will open the 2022-23 regular season on Nov. 7 at home against Purdue Fort Wayne.

In addition to the games, Michigan was allowed 10 extra practices before the trip. As for the games, the Wolverines went 2-1 against professional teams, though none of the games will count against their record. Martelli said the opponent had injuries sustained during training camp that limited the available number of players. Martelli said the games confirmed to the coaching staff that Michigan is deep. Tschetter, Martelli said, was the 10th or 11th man in one game but made four baskets in one quarter the next.

Being part of their journey & giving away a few (donuts) makes this a truly great day! Howard and the Michigan basketball team returned this past weekend from a 10-day European trip during which they played three exhibition games and visited Paris, Athens, and Mykonos, Greece.

Wearing bright maize shirts custom made for the trip, the Wolverines arrived in Paris on Wednesday (Aug. 17) and spent their day sightseeing and eating. “Time to start making a lifetime of memories,” head coach Juwan Howard captioned a photo he shared on social media of a team meal. pic.twitter.com/IquAdDccOS — Juwan Howard (@JuwanHoward) August 17, 2022All players are present except for freshman Youssef Khayat, who is expected to join the team at some point in France. Later in the day, the team’s official social media account shared a team photo in front of the Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Juwan Howard didn’t want to be caught scrambling to fill his roster. He started working on contingencies as soon as a pair of freshmen, Moussa Diabaté and Caleb Houstan, entered the NBA draft in late April. Sure, they could have returned to Michigan, but Howard needed a plan in case they didn’t. There were transfer portal possibilities, and Howard did eventually snag a player from there (Duke’s Joey Baker). But Howard didn’t limit himself to the portal or even the United States.

Twenty years ago, he went on a similar trip, between his freshman and sophomore years at Michigan. Looking back on it, we were very spoiled.”This time around, he’s hoping his players appreciate the trip in real time. Before playing games that count against other college teams in packed arenas, Michigan will play exhibition games against professionals in mostly empty gyms. The NCAA permits college basketball teams to take such trips every four years, and Michigan went to Spain in 2018. The Wolverines went 1-2 on that trip, but maybe the experience paid off: They started the regular season 17-0.

Joey Baker and Jaelin Llewellyn have eight years of college experience between them and 165 games. For the third straight year, Michigan head coach Juwan Howard landed a grad transfer point guard out of the transfer portal. “His level of production with the ball in his hands, whether decision making or shooting,” Howard said on Thursday (Aug. 11). Michigan him at 6-foot-7 and as a guard; he told MLive he viewed himself as a shooting guard or small forward. We’re going to need a healthy Joey for November.”Like Llewellyn, Baker brings shooting to Ann Arbor: He hit 41 percent last season.

Three years ago, LeBron James endorsed his former teammate for the Michigan job. According to a report from ESPN, Michigan is among the schools recruiting Bronny James, the son of the NBA superstar and a top-50 recruit in the 2023 class. Howard and LeBron James played together on the Miami Heat for three seasons from 2010 to 2013, winning two championships. !” James tweeted at the time, calling Howard one of his favorite people. After Michigan hired Howard, ESPN college basketball analyst Fran Fraschilla tweeted that Howard would “likely get Bronny James & Zaire Wade,” referencing Dwyane Wade’s son, who eventually skipped college, went pro, and played in the G League last season.

A little more than a year into the name, image, and likeness era of college sports, Juwan Howard feels Michigan needs to do more. “NIL is one of these things where it has helped some programs, with what they’ve done in the transfer portal,” Howard said. “Would I like to see more done for the program in the sense of some of the things that are happening with other basketball programs? When Howard asked if he’d shared his concerns with higher-ups at the Michigan, he nodded vigorously and laughed. Yes I have.”Athletic director Warde Manuel said in June that there are “a couple of collectives in development” at Michigan.

Juwan Howard and Jim Harbaugh had a memorable embrace following Michigan football’s monumental win over Ohio State in November. Howard, the men’s basketball coach, stopped by a Michigan football practice on Tuesday (Aug. 9). Great to have @JuwanHoward at practice today and speak to the team!#GoBlue pic.twitter.com/5Ed1nkM5kE — Michigan Football (@UMichFootball) August 10, 2022It appears Harbaugh spoke to the defending Big Ten champs. A Michigan athletics staffer noted last year that football recruits are often excited to meet Howard. Harbaugh’s squad, meanwhile, is closing in on its season opener against Colorado State, at Michigan Stadium, on Sep. 3.

Though Michigan has yet to secure a commitment from any 2023 prospects, it’s no cause for concern. In the Big Ten, six schools each have two committed prospects for 2023 and five, including Michigan State, have one. Ohio State and Illinois are the other programs that have yet to earn a commitment. Michigan has reportedly offered Royal, and on Monday he included the Wolverines in his final nine schools, a list that included Michigan State and Ohio State. Christian Anderson Jr., a 2024 guard, committed to Michigan in October.

Juwan Howard will trot out a reshaped roster this fall when the Michigan men’s basketball team takes the floor again. On the latest episode of MLive’s “Wolverine Confidential” podcast, Andrew Kahn and Aaron McMann react to news of the latest commitment to Juwan Howard, Youssef Khayat, capping a busy offseason for the Wolverines. Plus, two more Michigan players hear their names called in the NBA draft. Also, an update on the football team’s recruiting progress — a 2024 commitment, and a pair of incoming ‘23 commitments that the Wolverines stand a real chance to win.

The Michigan men’s basketball program has gone the international route to complete its roster for next season. Youssef Khayat, a Lebanon native who has played the past several years for a professional team in France, committed to Michigan on Sunday afternoon (June 26). Once the 19-year-old decided he wanted to play college basketball, he narrowed his options to four schools, ultimately choosing Michigan over Xavier, Wake Forest, and DePaul. “I chose the program for their experience of developing international wings,” Khayat said. In addition to his pro basketball experience, Khayat has played for the Lebanon national team.

Jett Howard has prepared for playing for his dad at Michigan. “I think he’s as prepared as can be,” IMG Academy head coach Sean McAloon said. “Offensively, he can do some things that other kids just can’t do, especially shooting the basketball and creating shots, while still making the right play,” McAloon said. Both Howard and McAloon said Howard can still grow as a defender. After spending his entire life rooting for Michigan, Howard will put on a uniform and try to help the program win games.

The Golden State Warriors took down the Boston Celtics 103-90 in game six of the 2022 NBA Finals, winning their fourth title in eight years and their seventh championship in franchise history.

It didn’t take long for Golden State to hit the gas peddle, rattling off three straight victories over the Boston Celtics to claim another NBA championship. And for the first time in nearly a decade, a former Michigan basketball player can lay claim to a world championship. Jordan Poole was a big reason the Warriors were able to make their playoff run, averaging 17.0 points, 3.8 assists and 2.8 rebounds during the postseason. Jordan Poole is living his BEST life 🤣 pic.twitter.com/e7sQs0CgLK — NBA TV (@NBATV) June 17, 2022He becomes the first former Wolverines play to win an NBA championship since 2013, when current Michigan head coach Juwan Howard won his second title with the Miami Heat before retiring. In other words, life is good for Jordan Poole these days.

Tarris Reed Jr. is entering his freshman year at Michigan, but he’s had a year of college experience. At Link Academy in Branson, Missouri, last basketball season, Reed lived in a dorm, traveled all over the country for games, and played for a former longtime college coach. Reed helped Link Academy, in its first year of existence, post a 34-2 record and reach the Geico Nationals championship game. Unlike a typical public high school, Reed had plenty of other talented, tall teammates to practice against. “I know what I can do on the court to help Coach Howard win,” he said.

Michigan basketball assistant coach Phil Martelli will enter the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame this year, it was announced on Tuesday (June 14). Wait, Martelli wasn’t already in the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame? Juwan Howard, seeking an experienced college head coach, made him part of his initial staff. Last season, Martelli stepped in as acting head coach when Howard was suspended for the final five games of the regular season. Facing five teams that would make the NCAA Tournament, Michigan went 3-2, including a win at Ohio State in the regular-season finale.

It took until June for the Michigan men’s basketball program to know who won’t be on the team next season. On Wednesday, Moussa Diabaté and Caleb Houstan -- freshmen starters for Michigan last season -- finalized their decisions to keep their names in the NBA draft. Juwan Howard and his coaching staff have two open scholarships should they want to browse the transfer portal. There’s another very familiar name in the transfer portal: Emoni Bates, who spent his freshman season at Memphis. Michigan State currently only has 10 scholarship players, and head coach Tom Izzo said last week his roster is likely set for next season.

Michigan basketball forward Moussa Diabate will forgo his remaining college eligibility and stay in the 2022 NBA Draft.

The Michigan men’s basketball team will play some games very, very far from home this summer. The Wolverines will visit Paris and Greece in mid-August for three exhibition games, the program announced on Friday evening. Michigan went to Spain in 2018. The Wolverines visit London for a game against Kentucky on Dec. 4. More details of the trip, including the exact dates, will be provided at a later date.

ESPN’s NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Sunday that Howard, Michigan’s head men’s basketball coach, “recently declined a Los Angeles Lakers overture on the franchise’ head coaching job.”The Lakers fired their head coach, Frank Vogel, last month, and there were reports that Howard would be a candidate for the opening. Howard played at Michigan with Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka and has a good relationship with Lakers superstar LeBron James, with whom Howard played on the Miami Heat. Howard interviewed for the Lakers job three years ago, before coming to Michigan. Wojnarowski reported on Sunday that the Boston Celtics were interested in Howard last year. Wojnarowski also noted that Howard will coach two of his sons at Michigan next season: rising junior Jace and incoming freshman Jett.

Former star Ypsilanti high schooler and current No. 1-ranked transfer player Emoni Bates recently entered the transfer portal, where he named the Michigan Wolverines one of his top six destinations ahead of the 2022 college basketball season.

Jett Howard, the youngest son of head coach Juwan Howard, will appear in “Shooting Stars,” a film about NBA superstar LeBron James’ high school basketball team. Howard will play Carmelo Anthony, a 19-year NBA veteran who competed against James when the two were in high school. Cook is the fifth-ranked player in the 2023 high school class, per the 247sports composite, and is committed to play at Oregon. A photo from the set shows Howard and Cook in an on-court embrace. Juwan Howard and James were teammates with the Miami Heat, winning championships in 2012 and 2013.

Never mind that Will Tschetter hasn’t played an official game for Michigan basketball, having redshirted his freshman season. Tschetter (pronounced “cheddar”) played 4:54 of Michigan’s lone exhibition game, on Nov. 5 at Wayne State. It was around that time that Howard, Michigan’s head coach, spoke with Tschetter and his family about redshirting. He’s not a finished product because of how hard he works.”During practices, Tschetter played on the scout team along with another freshman, Isaiah Barnes. “He didn’t come here to be the 12th man,” Martelli said of Tschetter.

Emoni Bates, a star basketball player from Ypsilanti who recently finished his freshman season of college at Memphis, is in the transfer portal. Bates’ “top six,” in alphabetical order, includes Arkansas, DePaul, Eastern Michigan, Louisville, Michigan, and Seton Hall. Howard did not get the Michigan job until May of 2019, at which point Michigan State had already established itself as the frontrunner. The Bates-Howard relationship could be why Michigan made Bates’ finalists. Addressing Bates’ finalists, CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander wrote, “From what I gathered over the weekend, a few of these schools aren’t truly involved with Emoni Bates.

Frankie Collins’ transfer out of Michigan felt different than the others. Collins’ announcement came the day after Michigan sealed the deal with point guard Jaelin Llewellyn, a graduate transfer from Princeton, and it doesn’t seem like that was a coincidence. When a member of Collins’ family asked about the roster, Michigan coaches’ responses were always the same, Martelli said. “I know that Juwan more than anybody was prepared for the conversation (with Collins),” Martelli said. “He is a point guard who could play combo (guard), not a combo who could play point,” Martelli said.

Competing against some of the most talented high school basketball players in the country, Michigan signee Jett Howard had the best performance of all. The incoming freshman and son of head coach Juwan Howard was named MVP of the Iverson Classic, held Saturday in Memphis, after scoring 20 points to lead his team to victory. He’s part of Michigan’s four-man class that ranks eighth nationally and includes Tarris Reed Jr., who also participated in Saturday’s game. The elder Howard will coach two of his sons next season, as Jace will be a junior with the Wolverines. 32 in the class, was less impactful, but still was chosen to start in a game with a lot of top talent.

Victor Oladipo scored 23 points, Bam Adebayo added 20 points and 11 rebounds, and the Miami Heat moved into the Eastern Conference semifinals by beating the Atlanta Hawks 97-94.

NBA head coaching jobs are opening, which means Juwan Howard’s name will be linked to NBA head coaching jobs. “Over the next several weeks, expect several other candidates to emerge, including University of Michigan coach Juwan Howard, who interviewed for the opening in 2019,” NBA insider Shams Charania of The Athletic wrote. In November, shortly after Michigan’s season had started, Howard signed a contract extension to remain the head men’s basketball coach through the 2025-26 season. Three years ago, Howard interviewed for the Lakers job that eventually went to Vogel. And now, after Michigan went 19-15 and made a surprising run to the Sweet 16 as an 11 seed, Howard’s name has again come up in a report.

It’s a good thing when a college basketball coaching staff gets a late start to spring recruiting, because it implies an impressive NCAA Tournament performance. Here’s what we know about Michigan’s 2023 recruiting board. Michigan offered another point guard, Aden Holloway, even more recently. And there are other prospects Michigan has not formally offered -- at least according to 247sports -- but is definitely interested in, such as Matas Buzelis (No. The recruiting period, in which coaches may visit with prospects in-person, off-campus, starts this afternoon and runs through April 20 with a couple of exceptions.

David Barrett, a Michigan native, wrote the song that accompanies the video. On Monday night, Michigan head coach Juwan Howard and the Wolverines made several appearances -- five to be exact. Michigan played its first two Tournament games at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis before advancing to the Sweet 16 in San Antonio. The rest of the three-minute video shows the remainder of the Tournament: the regional finals, Final Four, and national championship games. He wrote “One Shining Moment” in March of 1986 at the Varsity Inn bar in East Lansing after performing nearby.

The Michigan Wolverines might face one of their former teammates next basketball season. Zeb Jackson, who entered the transfer portal in January, announced this weekend his new school: VCU. Michigan could play VCU as part of a four-team tournament in November. Jackson, an Ohio native, announced on Saturday he’d be transferring to VCU. Michigan and VCU are both set to play in the Legends Classic in Brooklyn, New York, on Nov. 16 and 17.

This year, Michigan’s season has been done for almost a week. What will the Michigan men’s basketball roster (and starting lineup) look like in 2022-23?

And so Bufkin, despite an inconsistent freshman season, has the (very) early edge here.

The Michigan men’s basketball team wrapped the 2021-22 season on Thursday with a loss to Villanova in the Sweet 16. Those are some of the key questions facing head coach Juwan Howard and the Wolverines in the coming days, weeks, and months. If there was a common theme, it was that none had been to the NCAA Tournament before. After two misses and two turnovers in nine minutes of Michigan’s NCAA Tournament opener, he didn’t get off the bench in the final two games. Michigan also brings in a couple of freshman who could help: point guard Dug McDaniel and wing Jett Howard.

Brooks had some shots roll out, as did Moussa Diabaté, who often got position underneath the hoop but couldn’t always finish. We knew coming in that they were going to switch a lot (of screens), and we prepared for it. And there were times, as Howard said, that Dickinson didn’t get the ball in his preferred spot. Dickinson was fantastic against Colorado State (21 points on 10 shots) and Tennessee (27 points, 13 shots) in Michigan’s two NCAA Tournament wins in Indianapolis last week. Then we said whichever one of these guys gets it going, we’re going to adjust to.”Nobody ever did.

These deep NCAA Tournament runs are made possible by capable people: coaches, players, and administrators. After two years with a total of one NCAA Tournament win (a play-in victory in 2016), they went: Sweet 16, national runner-up, Sweet 16, Elite Eight, and now another Sweet 16. It’s a 10-year run that puts Michigan’s 23 NCAA Tournament wins just one behind Gonzaga for most in the country during that span. “I’m locked in to Michigan,” Howard said when asked about the rest of the conference.

With the taller James still smothering him, Brooks attempts a running hook shot. Michigan takes a four-point lead and closes out a 76-68 victory to advance to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16. Brooks, in his fifth and final season at Michigan and second as captain, surpassed Simpson earlier this season as the winningest player in program history. Brooks could even be considered an outlier given that he’s elevated his game in the NCAA Tournament. His aforementioned hook shot, with 52 seconds left, proved to be the dagger.

And that was all before head coach Juwan Howard was suspended for five games to close the regular season. We look at one game at a time and we have some unfinished business.”The fact that Michigan remains in business is a result of a resilient roster. Howard and his staff want tough, resilient players who push through difficult moments within a game, within a season. The building was the site of this month’s Big Ten Tournament and one of Michigan’s NCAA Tournament games last year, part of an entire postseason played in Indianapolis.

Howard, Michigan’s head basketball coach, embraced Tennessee freshman Kennedy Chandler after the Wolverines’ 76-68 win that propelled them to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 and ended Tennessee’s season. Embraced by Howard, Kennedy cried, burying his face in Howard’s chest. He told me to keep my head up and (said), ‘You played your heart out.’”After the game, @umichbball Head Coach Juwan Howard comforted Tennessee's Kennedy Chandler. “I got a chance to know Kennedy back when my youngest son, Jett, and Kennedy played in AAU, and they won the LeBron James tournament in Ohio. He’ll likely get positive attention for what he did after the Tennessee game, and he deserves that too.

“He’s a big dude.”Dickinson will be at the center of Saturday’s NCAA Tournament second-round matchup between Michigan and Tennessee. That happened just after 11 seed Michigan rallied in the second half to beat 6 seed Colorado State 75-63. The Wolverines, Howard said, can’t get sped up. Much like Colorado State, Tennessee will have its hands full dealing with Michigan’s size. Michigan desperately wants to avoid a big first-half deficit like it faced against Colorado State.

Freshman Frankie Collins made a starting debut that Michigan fans won't soon forget.

A second-half surge sent the Michigan Wolverines to the second round of the NCAA Tournament after they defeated No. 6 seed Colorado State, 75-63, in the opening round.

Thursday’s comeback victory over Colorado State made it possible. “I know I was thinking, Shoot, if they (Indiana) can do it to us, we can do it to them (Colorado State),” the sophomore center said. Colorado State star David Roddy (13 points) was contained. Michigan, which went 0-for-7 from 3 in the first half, went 4-for-7 after halftime. For one half Colorado State looked like the better seed.

Freshman point guard Frankie Collins was thrust into Michigan basketball‘s starting lineup for the first round of the NCAA Tournament, and he responded by saving his team from an early exit.

Freshman Frankie Collins provided the spark Michigan needed in a turbulent year for the Wolverines and coach Juwan Howard.

The last time there was an NCAA Tournament without a Michigan school in it, Juwan Howard played for the NBA’s Washington Bullets and Tom Izzo was in his second season as Michigan State’s coach. It was 1997. It was – and still is – the only NCAA Tournament without a Michigan school in the field since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985. There was no tournament in 2020 due to the pandemic.

The seesaw season for the Michigan Wolverines gifted them another trip to Indianapolis, as the surprising No. 11 seed will face No. 6 seed Colorado State in the 2022 NCAA Tournament.

His Michigan men’s basketball team spent most of last March there, returned last week, and is heading back again for this week’s NCAA Tournament. “We can’t escape that place, man,” Michigan sophomore Hunter Dickinson said. In the end, just four at-large teams were slotted below the Wolverines, making Michigan the last team to avoid a play-in game. What was Bankers Life Fieldhouse when Michigan beat Florida State was Gainbridge Fieldhouse when Michigan lost to Indiana last week. It’s worth noting that Kentucky, a 2 seed in a different region of the NCAA Tournament, was also sent to Indianapolis.

Before transferring to Michigan, DeVante’ Jones played four seasons of college basketball without ever sniffing the NCAA Tournament. Michigan was awarded an NCAA Tournament bid on Sunday night. Many were watching conference tournament games on multiple TVs, sweating various outcomes and considering their implications for Michigan. Dickinson was confident Michigan would get in, but as Jones said, “We just didn’t know for sure.”“I was nervous,” Jones added. The Wolverines have gone win, loss, win, loss for 10 consecutive games and enter the NCAA Tournament with a 17-14 record.
