• Freshmen numbers, heights and weights have been unveiled on an updated roster. Kameron Chatman will wear No. 3, DJ Wilson No. 5, Muhammad Ali Abdur-Rahkman No. 12, Aubrey Dawkins No. 24, Austin Hatch No. 30 and Ricky Doyle No. 32. Former walk-ons Cole McConnell and Brad Anlauf are no longer listed on the roster while Max Bielfeldt is now listed as a senior, implying he won’t be back for a fifth-year.
• Doyle is the biggest incoming recruit at 6-foot-10, 250 pounds while Wilson checks in at 6-9, 210 pounds. Chatman and Dawkins are both listed as guard/combo forwards with Chatman at 6-foot-7, 210 and Dawkins at 6-foot-6, 190 pounds. Heights and weights for returning players don’t appear to be updated.
• We’ve also updated our scholarship breakdown to reflect the changes.

• Former Michigan Director of Player Personnel CJ Lee was hired by Marist. Lee reflected on the growth of the Michigan program with Brendan Quinn.
• Mark Donnal realizes how critical he is this season after redshirting last year. “It’s hard to see them go, but it definitely opened up a lot of opportunity for me,” Donnal told MLive. “I know there’s a big burden on my back and I’ve got to prove myself this season.”

• 2015 guard Prince Ali says UCLA is his leader.
• TJ Leaf has scheduled unofficial visits to Arizona and Arizona State in August. His list now includes
