Michigan basketball commit Jalen Wilson requests release from scholarship

Michigan basketball's top-ranked signee is back on the market.

Denton (Texas) Guyer forward Jalen Wilson has asked for a release from his letter of intent and will re-open his recruitment in the wake of John Beilein's departure to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Wilson announced on Twitter on Thursday.

"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. Due to the sudden head coaching change, I have requested my release from the University of Michigan and will re-open my recruitment.
