Michigan basketball’s scholarship situation can only be described as murky, at best.
While Isaiah Livers and Franz Wagner test the NBA Draft waters, there’s a strong likelihood that one, or both, will return to Ann Arbor.
Point guard David DeJulius was announced by the program this week that he would seek a change of scenery, and entered his name in the NCAA transfer portal, which relieves Michigan of one scholarship. But Adrian Nunez is reportedly coming back next year, and the Wolverines have five commits as of current and another potentially on the way.

But, according to The Michigan Insider’s Josh Henschke and further confirmed by The Wolverine’s Chris Balas, one commit will walk-on rather than taking up a scholarship.
Three-star Miami (FL) University School small forward Jace Howard.
The Michigan Insider has learned that 2020 three-star small forward Jace Howard will walk-on to the Michigan program and will not sign with the Wolverines on April 15th. Sources close to the situation confirmed with 247Sports of the younger Howard’s intentions on Wednesday. Howard, of course, is the son of U-M head coach, Juwan Howard.
Currently, Michigan has Howard, Zeb Jackson, Terrance Williams, Hunter Dickinson and Isaiah Todd committed. However, the latter, five-star Todd, who was considering playing his year away from the NBA due to one-and-done rules overseas, recently removed all Michigan references on Twitter.
