That makes two this week.
Entering the offseason, there were a lot of questions about how Michigan basketball would get under the scholarships allotted. That question is much closer to being answered.
The Wolverines were only set to lose two players to graduation — seniors Zavier Simpson and Jon Teske — while bringing in anywhere between 5-6 prospects in 2020. Currently, there is one 2020 signee in Ohio guard Zeb Jackson and four verbal commitments with Isaiah Todd, Hunter Dickinson, Terrance Williams and Jace Howard — coach Juwan Howard’s son, who is reportedly going to walk-on, instead of being on scholarship — in the fold. Michigan is awaiting word from five-star guard Joshua Christopher, who is apparently making his announcement in less than a week on April 13, if cryptic tweets hold serve.

But on Monday, junior point guard David DeJulius unexpectedly entered the NCAA transfer portal and early Thursday morning, another joined him, in junior forward Colin Castleton.
Michigan’s Colin Castleton is in the transfer portal, a source told @Stockrisers. The former four-star recruit appeared in 25 games and averaged 3.5 points.
Expecting long list of high-major suitors.

Castleton as a recruit was a four-star center, and in Ann Arbor in 2019-20, he played in 25 games for an average of 8 minutes and three points-per-game. But he wasn’t utilized as much down the stretch, with Brandon Johns and Austin Davis getting more favor off the bench.
