There will be a lot of new faces on the 2022-23 Michigan Wolverines men’s basketball team, and perhaps the player we know the least about is Lebanese recruit Youssef Khayat. At Michigan’s media day last week, Khayat and the coaches shed some light on his recruiting process and how he’s acclimating to college basketball in America thus far.
Khayat told reporters it wasn’t an easy decision for him to come to the states, but the forward with plenty of international playing experience came with one big goal in mind.
“It was a tough decision for me because I had the option to go pro,” Khayat said.
