His Michigan career didn’t go as planned for former four-star guard Isaiah Barnes.
After arriving as part of the 2021 class, the shooting guard played in 17 games (two in 2021-22 and 15 in 2022-23). Unlike some of his peers, he never became even a rotation piece. Thus, Barnes decided to look for greener pastures elsewhere.
After averaging 1.1 points in 6.1 minutes per game with Michigan, Barnes opted not to stay in the Power Five. According to his Instagram, Barnes has committed to transfer to Tulsa, where he’ll have three years of eligibility with the Golden Hurricane.

Barnes is one of many departures from this past season’s Michigan basketball team. Jett Howard and Kobe Bufkin are departing for the NBA draft. Barnes and star center Hunter Dickinson are leaving via the NCAA transfer portal.
