Tennessee transfer Olivier Nkamhoua commits to Michigan basketball

Michigan basketball was hampered by a lack of production at the power-forward position last season.

The Wolverines found another possible solution to fix that problem, by adding Olivier Nkamhoua, a grad transfer from Tennessee who made his commitment on Wednesday.

“My new roommate just committed!!” Michigan forward Jace Howard tweeted on social media after the news broke.

Nkamhoua is the second forward coach Juwan Howard has landed from the transfer portal — along with Tray Jackson, a Detroit native who spent the past three seasons at Seton Hall — addressing a position that was a glaring weakness for a Michigan team that finished 18-16 and missed the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2015.
