The final buzzer on a disappointing 2022-23 Michigan basketball season sounded on March 18.
In the 97 days since that evening NIT loss in Nashville, Tennessee, Juwan Howard's program has undergone one of its busiest-ever offseasons, starting with several departures.
In all, six players opted not to return for various reasons, including Michigan's three leading scorers: Former All-American center Hunter Dickinson, who transferred to Kansas, and Kobe Bufkin and Jett Howard, both of whom stayed in the NBA draft.
