When the college basketball season was cut short last spring, Chaundee Brown found himself at a crossroads.
Knowing he didn’t want to remain at Wake Forest, where coach Danny Manning would soon be fired, he entered both the transfer portal and the NBA Draft pool. With one remaining season of NCAA eligibility, the move allowed him to gather feedback from NBA executives while also exploring his next college destination.
When Michigan became involved with Brown’s recruitment, he caught up with a friend from his native Sunshine State: Colin Castleton, who played for the Wolverines from 2018-2020 before transferring to Florida.
