It was a disappointing season with a poetic ending for the Michigan basketball team. The Wolverines squandered a eight-point lead with one minute remaining in their final game against Vanderbilt in the NIT Tournament — something Michigan frequently did this season.
The Wolverines are now in their offseason and roster moves will be happening. So far, Michigan has lost Isaiah Barnes to the transfer portal and the Wolverines are waiting on decisions from Hunter Dickinson, Kobe Bufkin, and Jett Howard on their NBA decisions.
While waiting on decisions from the current roster, Juwan Howard and Michigan isn’t wasting time on looking to add from the transfer portal.
The Wolverines are highly targeting Wofford transfer B.J. Mack. The 6-foot-8 power forward averaged over 16 points per game and over five rebounds last year. Mack went to Twitter to announce his top 10 schools he will be considering for next season and the Wolverines made his list.

Mack spoke with 247Sports about each of his top 10 schools he is deciding between. Here is what he had to say about the Wolverines:
“Juwan Howard has been recruiting me throughout this process. He is somebody that played my position at the highest level and has reached a goal of mine. He is a legendary coach and a legendary player. I feel being able to play beside an All-American in Hunter Dickinson is a great opportunity. I want to be on that exposure level because there are going to be NBA scouts at every game that you play. Being there with them is highly intriguing.”
Michigan struggled mightily to get consistent help at the 4 position this season. Terrance Williams started the year there, but Will Tschetter got his chance as well. Neither looked to be the answer going forward. Mack could be a good addition to the Wolverines if Howard and Co. can land him.
According to the On3 transfer portal rankings, Mack is listed as the 59th-best player and a four-star.
