Michigan basketball made a splash move on Wednesday by landing former Tennessee Volunteer, Olivier Nkamhoua via the transfer portal. Although the Wolverines still have two scholarships remaining for the 2023-2024 season, the maize and blue added a key piece to the puzzle.
Juwan Howard and Michigan are still trying to find one or two more players to come play in Ann Arbor for the upcoming season, but the focus is starting to shift to the 2024 recruiting class.
After landing one player in the 2023 cycle — guard George Washington — it’s important for Howard to get a few playmakers in the ’24 class. Michigan is in on several top recruits in 2024, and on Thursday, the maize and blue made another final group.
On3’s Joe Tipton announced Michigan is a finalist for 2024 forward Caleb Williams. Villanova, Indiana, Syracuse, Georgetown, Virginia, and Miami round out his final schools.

According to the 247Sports Composite ranking, Williams is the 100th-ranked recruit in the 2024 cycle and the 19th-best power forward. The 6-foot-7 forward plays high school ball at Washington (DC) Sidwell Friends School.
Williams is currently averaging 6.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game for Team Takeover on the EYBL Circuit.
Michigan currently has two commitments in the 2024 class.
