Michigan adds transfer commitment from impact 7-footer out of the Ivy League

Michigan is compiling a strong transfer class to jumpstart Dusty May’s roster for the 2024-25 season.

On Saturday, the Wolverines added a commitment from an impact big man out of the Ivy League with a commitment from Danny Wolf. A true 7-footer, Wolf was Yale’s leading scorer and helped engineer a first-round upset of Auburn for the Bulldogs.

Wolf finished the 2023-24 season averaging 14.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.3 blocks for Yale. He also shot 47% from the field and 34.5% from 3-point with the ability to stretch the floor offensively.

In a continually growing trend for coaching changes, May has hit the transfer portal for some key pieces to add to the roster. Wolf joins Rubin Jones, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard out of North Texas, to commit to the Wolverines in this transfer cycle.

Jones was a 4-year contributor for the Mean Green and most recently averaged 12.1 points, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals while shooting 41.6% from 3-point range. Those 2 pieces in Jones and Wolf look like great additions, but May is likely just getting starting in trying to establish the roster for next season.

We’ll see where Michigan turns next ahead of May’s first season leading the program.
