If there’s one thing we know for sure now, it’s that new Michigan basketball head coach Juwan Howard can recruit.
After reeling in five-star Isaiah Todd earlier this fall, the Wolverines head man reeled in yet another big fish — with the big part being quite literal.
Rated as a high four-star by all the major recruiting services, Hyattsville (MD) DeMatha Catholic center Hunter Dickinson is rated as the No. 34 player in the country, regardless of position in the 2020 class. At 7-foot-2, 255-pounds, he’s the big man Michigan needed to secure with Todd and guard Zeb Jackson already in the fold, especially with this being Jon Teske’s final year in Ann Arbor.
And on Friday, Dickinson ended his long recruitment, ultimately pledging to become a Michigan Wolverine.

Dickinson chose Michigan despite having offers from the likes of Duke, North Carolina and Purdue.
With Dickinson in the fold, Michigan now has the No. 6 class in 2020, according to the 247Sports team rankings.
