The Michigan Wolverines, led by head coach Dusty May, got even stronger on Tuesday as transfer commit Yaxel Lendeborg (UAB) has withdrawn from the NBA Draft and will return to college for his senior season.
Lendeborg ranks as the No. 1 big man in the transfer portal and helps the Wolverines maintain the second-best transfer portal class in the country, per 247 Sports. Lendeborg, along with transfer commits Aday Mara (UCLA), Morez Johnson Jr. (Illinois), and Eliot Cadeau (North Carolina), will help the reigning Big Ten Tournament champions compete with the top of the conference next season.
During May’s tenure in Ann Arbor, the Wolverines have brought in two top-tier transfer classes, ranked tenth and second, respectively.
The Badgers have had their own successful offseason, landing transfers Nick Boyd (San Diego State), Andrew Rohde (Virginia), and Austin Rapp (Portland), all three of whom are expected to be starters. Head coach Greg Gard and his staff have done an excellent job reloading on talent, but will have to go toe to toe with Michigan’s talented roster next season.
