Report: Roddy Gayle Jr. set to return to Michigan basketball for another year
Report: Roddy Gayle Jr. set to return to Michigan basketball for another year The Michigan basketball team will look a bit different this upcoming season, with some players leaving due to graduation, such as Vlad Goldin; others leaving for the NBA draft, like Danny Wolf; and several outgoing transfers, such as Tre Donaldson, Sam Walters, Jace Howard, and Phat Phat Brooks. But some are staying the course. Such is the case for Nimari Burnett, the former Alabama transfer. And it appears that the Wolverines are getting another boost with a player returning. According to The Detroit Free Press' Tony Garcia, the maize and blue are expecting former Ohio State transfer guard Roddy Gayle Jr. to come back for another season, a big shot in the arm for the team given how Gayle came alive in the postseason this past year. Gayle had struggled once joining the maize and blue, having gone months without hitting a 3. But once the Wolverines got into Big Ten Tournament play, suddenly, Gayle started finding his stroke again, having a big game against Purdue, before also playing well in the NCAA Tournament. Michigan basketball will return Gayle, Burnett, sophomore guard LJ Cason, and Will Tschetter, while also adding transfers such as Elliot Cadeau, Morez Johnson Jr., Aday Mara, and possibly Yaxel Lendeborg, who is testing the NBA draft waters. The Wolverines also bring in freshmen such as five-star guard Trey McKenney, Winters Grady, and Oscar Goodman (who actually reclassified to 2024 and joined the team in the winter).

Media, Wolverine legends react to Michigan basketball beating Texas A&M in NCAA Tournament
Media, Wolverine legends react to Michigan basketball beating Texas A&M in NCAA Tournament It was looking awfully bleak in Denver for the maize and blue, with the Wolverines down 10 to the Texas A&M Aggies with just over 13 minutes to go in the Round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament. Michigan basketball didn't exactly look lifeless, but it couldn't get simple layups to drop and missed a couple of front-end shots on one-and-one free throw attempts. To get out of the hole and back into the game, something had to give. Enter Roddy Gayle Jr., the transfer who left rival Ohio State for the maize and blue. Gayle had been much maligned for months by Michigan fans, as he hadn't done much offensively. Relegated to the bench after being a starter, he started to come alive in the Big Ten Tournament, and then had his best-career game on Saturday to oust the Aggies from March Madness. The Wolverines are thus now headed to Atlanta for the Sweet 16. Naturally, Michigan luminaries and media entities came alive with big reactions to the 91-79 win over TAMU.
