He will be the third leading returning scorer in college basketball next season, behind Antoine Davis from Detroit and Max Abmas from Oral Roberts. He was named a third-team All-American as a sophomore, has earned All-District honors each of the last two seasons, and has been a third-team, first-team and second-team All-Big ten choice in his first three campaigns with the Hoosiers. Jackson-Davis enters his fourth season with the Hoosiers ranked 15th all-time at IU in scoring (1,565), 19th in scoring average (16.9), ninth in rebounds (797), seventh in blocked shots (178), and seventh in field goal percentage (55.8%). “He’s worked extremely hard this summer and we are counting on him to be a leader by example who sets the tone for everyone else on our team.” “Trayce has the opportunity to build quite a legacy for himself and our program,” said IU Coach Mike Woodson. He is the first Hoosier to earn the honor since Thomas Bryant prior to the 2016-17 season. – Indiana University men's basketball forward Trayce Jackson-Davis has been named Preseason All-American by Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook.

It was also good to keep Isaiah Barnes in the fold. There’s a good chance he will be playing a lot more minutes next season and if he can be a reliable stretch four alongside Hunter Dickinson that would be huge. He shot 38 percent last season and was second on the team in percentage but shot only 52 for the season. Williams just needs to be more consistent and continue to hit 3-pointers at a higher volume.

It’s a good thing that those guys are back because the Wolverines are going to need them. No other players entered the transfer portal despite there being some rumblings about Kobe Bufkin and Terrance Williams and that’s where we start as we take a look at U-M’s roster following the transfer portal chaos, and now the NBA draft deadline (June 1) which looms large. However, the May 1 deadline came and went. The addition of Jaelin Llewellyn and rumors of other portal additions (Emoni Bates even though he’s now projected to Louisville), caused some tense moments this weekend as we waited to see how many departures there would be. There was some worry that Michigan basketball would lose more than one player to the transfer portal last week after Frankie Collins entered his name. Now that the transfer portal deadline has come and gone, here are some thoughts on the Michigan basketball roster in a state of flux.
