This season marked the program's 104th season and its 103rd consecutive year as a member of the Big Ten Conference.

[edit]

2019–20

[edit]

After receiving an offer during an unofficial visit on May 13, 2018 Jalen Wilson became the first verbal commitment to the 2019 class on May 30, 2018.[15] During the summer of 2018, Cole Bajema went from being unknown and unranked to being a top 60 recruit.[16][17][18] After accumulating offers from San Francisco, Eastern Washington, Santa Clara, Pepperdine, Portland, Washington, Oregon State, Virginia and Xavier, Bajema committed to Michigan on August 4.[19] On November 14, 2018, Wilson and Bajema signed their National Letters of Intent.[20] As a senior, Bajema received first- and second-team all-state (WA) recognition.[21][22] In the class 1A State Championship tournament, Bajema's undefeated defending champion Lynden Christian Schools team was upset in the quarterfinals, leaving it with a 24–1 record and snapping its 31-game winning streak,[23] and he was named to the Class 1A All-tournament first team.[24] Wilson was a Class 6A All-state (TX) selection.[25] With the departure of John Beilein, Wilson requested for a release and re-opened his recruitment on May 16, 2019[26] and eventually committed to Kansas.[27]

On July 6, 2019, new Wolverines head coach Juwan Howard announced that German shooting guard Franz Wagner, younger brother of former Wolverines star and current Washington Wizards player Moritz Wagner, had signed a financial aid agreement to join the team for the 2019–20 season.[28][29] Franz Wagner was playing professionally with Alba Berlin of the Basketball Bundesliga before signing with Michigan. He averaged 3.8 points per game while shooting 38.3% from 3-point range in 56 combined appearances with Alba Berlin.[30]
