One player that is starting to generate big buzz, despite being in the future 2026 recruiting class, is Jonathan Sanderson, the 6-foot-2 point guard from Saline (Mich.).
If that name sounds familiar, it’s because the player Sanderson is the son of Michigan basketball’s longtime strength and conditioning coach Jon Sanderson, who has been known for transforming the team behind the scenes.
The younger Sanderson who is known as a prolific scorer already had offers from Illinois and Iowa. On Sunday, he announced via Twitter that his father’s school (career-wise), Michigan basketball, has extended him an offer to stay near Ann Arbor and become a Wolverine.

The elder Sanderson originally played college ball at rival Ohio State, but has become a household name in Ann Arbor with ‘Camp Sanderson,’ where he completely transforms younger players into viable NBA-level players through the weight room.
