It’s been almost 20 years since Michigan basketball brought in a McDonald’s All-American.
That streak finally came to an end Tuesday when signees Kobe Bufkin, Moussa Diabate and Caleb Houstan were among the 24 players to earn the national honor.
Bufkin, Diabate and Houstan are Michigan’s 21st, 22nd and 23rd McDonald’s All-Americans in program history and first ones since Daniel Horton in 2002.
It’s also the fifth time the Wolverines have had multiple players in the same recruiting class selected, joining Louis Bullock, Robert Traylor and Albert White in 1995; Willie Mitchell and Jerod Ward in 1994; Juwan Howard, Jimmy King, Jalen Rose and Chris Webber in 1991; and Terry Mills and Rumeal Robinson in 1986.
