While other teams have been adding players through the transfer portal, Michigan basketball has been waiting on one guy in particular to make a decision — Eli Brooks.

Now, he’s made it and Brooks has decided to run it back with the Wolverines for a fifth year. Michigan announced it Wednesday in a release, meaning Brooks will take advantage of the chance to play an extra year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Brooks was the Wolverines fourth-leading scorer this past season but his role on the team was much bigger than that.
