Well, Michigan’s point guard situation for the future is suddenly tenuous, at best.
While the Wolverines seemed to have things locked up after Zavier Simpson graduated, the point guard who was poised to take over for him in David DeJulius made a stunning decision that pretty much no one saw coming.
A sophomore this past season, DeJulius saw his role increase greatly, averaging 21 minutes-per-game compared to shy of four the year before. He also averaged 7 points-per-game in 2019-20 and had some showings that indicated he was ready to be the next great man up for the maize and blue — including at Nebraska, his first start, as Simpson was suspended for one game.
However, according to The Michigan Insider, DeJulius has elected to transfer out of the program.
The Michigan Insider has learned that Michigan sophomore point guard David DeJulius will enter the transfer portal. According to sources that are familiar with DeJulius’ plans, he will be entering the portal at some point this week and has called U-M to say his goodbyes.
That means the Wolverines will no longer have a bona fide point guard on the roster, though Eli Brooks, who was a shooting guard this past season, had once duked it out with Simpson before Simpson eventually earned the job.
More on this story as it develops.
