“After last year’s debacle, Michigan ready for healthy seasons from Caris LeVert and Derrick Walton … and a return to form,” Athlon wrote.
Caris LeVert is featured on the Michigan regional cover along with Michigan State’s Denzel Valentine. Michigan is picked to finish sixth in the Big Ten behind Maryland, Michigan State, Purdue, Indiana and Wisconsin.
Maryland is ranked preseason No. 4, Michigan State checks in at No. 12, Purdue is No. 16, Indiana is No. 17 and Wisconsin is No. 18. You can find the full Athlon top 25 here.
Michigan was not ranked by Lindy’s Sports, the first preseason magazine to be unveiled this offseason, but was picked to finish fifth in the Big Ten.
