The Michigan Wolverines got a whole lot better on Tuesday morning when Yaxel Lendeborg officially opted out of the 2025 NBA Draft and announced he will be playing for Dusty May in Ann Arbor next season. The No. 1 overall player in the transfer portal this offseason will surely raise the floor and ceiling for any team in college basketball, and that is no different for the maize and blue.
In fact, now that Lendeborg will officially suit up for the Wolverines, the team’s betting odds of winning the NCAA Tournament next year have gone way up.
