JUST IN: Michigan basketball lands two huge transfer portal commitments

Juwan Howard’s Wolverines got much better on Friday afternoon via two transfer commits. Tray Jackson (F) and Caleb Love (G) are the newest Michigan basketball transfer portal commits and should make an immediate impact on the Wolverines’ roster during the coming Michigan basketball season.

JUST IN: Two new Michigan basketball transfer portal commits

The Wolverines are coming off of an immensely disappointing season in 2022-23, which ended with a Sweet 16 exit in the NIT against Vanderbilt. Because of this, a few Wolverines have hit the portal — such as Michigan basketball star Hunter Dickinson — though Juwan Howard has also been busy bringing in talent to replace his team’s losses. On Friday afternoon, he added two top portal candidates.

The first addition is North Carolina guard Caleb Love, a former five-star point guard recruit. Love is coming to Michigan basketball with three years of experience under his belt with UNC — a season ago, Love averaged 16.7 points per game, 2.8 assist per game, and 3.7 rebounds per game. He will fill a need for experience and scoring on the 2023-24 Michigan basketball roster and is a massive pickup for Juwan Howard.

The second transfer portal commit for Michigan basketball is Tray Jackson, who comes to Ann Arbor after playing one season for Missouri and three seasons for Seton Hall. Jackson is a 6-foot-10, 215-pound power forward and a native of Detroit, MI — like Caleb Love, he fills a major need for Juwan Howard’s squad ahead of a crucial season in 2023-24. As a recruit, Jackson was rated as a four-star prospect and was ranked as the No. 3 player in the state of Michigan for the class of 2019. Jackson is yet to reach his full potential as a college basketball player, though boasts an incredible frame and the talent to match.
