The hits keep coming for the Michigan basketball program.

Top-ranked signee Jalen Wilson has asked to be released from his national letter of intent and will look to re-open his recruitment, he announced on Twitter on Thursday.

The news comes three days after former coach John Beilein left Michigan for the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers.

“First, I would like to thank God for giving me the opportunity to join the Michigan family last May,” Wilson tweeted. “I would also like to thank the coaching staff and the City (of) Ann Arbor for showing an unbelievable amount of love and support.
