The Michigan Wolverines’ men’s basketball team has lived up to their preseason hype so far, beating a good Buffalo team in the season opener before routing Prairie View A&M this weekend. And in each one of those games, Michigan’s freshmen have stepped up to provide meaningful minutes.
Five-star recruits Caleb Houstan and Moussa Diabate have already proven to be key parts of the rotation, while Kobe Bufkin and Frankie Collins are fighting for backcourt minutes off the bench. Will Tschetter and Isaiah Barnes didn’t get off the bench in Saturday’s blowout, so it seems safe to assume both of those guys are redshirt candidates.
