It’s been a long time coming for Michigan basketball in regards to bringing in a player deemed the elite of the elite. Not only has that drought ended on Tuesday, but it did so triple-fold.

The last time Michigan basketball brought in a McDonald’s all-american, it was 2002, when Daniel Horton was set to be a Wolverine. In 2020, it seemed as if the drought was ending, with five-star Isaiah Todd, then a commit, making the cut. However, Todd backed off his commitment in the spring and ultimately signed on to play in the NBA G-League.

But it was announced on Tuesday that Michigan leads all schools with three signees making the team: Montverde (FL) Academy five-star Caleb Houstan, Bradenton (FL) IMG Academy five-star Moussa Diabate and Grand Rapids (MI) Christian four-star Kobe Bufkin.

The three comprise half of Michigan basketball’s six-man class, rated by 247Sports as the best in the nation. All six of the players committed to Michigan have signed their national letter of intent and will be on campus officially later this summer.
