“Dusty May, the new head coach of the Michigan Wolverines men’s basketball program, faces a significant task ahead. With ample scholarships available and the possibility of no returning players from the previous year’s team, May and the Wolverines are swiftly reaching out to potential recruits in the transfer portal.
Connor Essegian,
a combo guard from Wisconsin, is among the first names with rumored mutual interest. Despite a lack of playing time in his sophomore season, Essegian showcased his talent as a freshman, earning All-Big Ten Freshman first-team honors with impressive statistics.
Jason Rivera-Torres,
a former four-star recruit from Vanderbilt, is another guard being considered. May’s prior recruitment of Rivera-Torres at FAU adds familiarity to the equation.
Although his freshman season saw moderate scoring off the bench, his three-point shooting performance was below expectations.
Cade Tyson,
a standout shooter from Belmont, caught May’s attention due to his exceptional three-point shooting accuracy. With a remarkable shooting percentage and scoring average, Tyson is considered one of the top players in the transfer portal.
Michigan is also eyeing J’Vonne Hadley,
an experienced guard from Colorado. Having played at Northeastern and Indian Hills Community College before joining Colorado, Hadley brings valuable experience and leadership to the table.
With consistent scoring and efficient shooting, Hadley could play a pivotal role in shaping the team’s culture in Ann Arbor.”
