Following a year of uneven perimeter shooting for Michigan basketball, the Wolverines their leading 3-point threat.<\/p>\n
Small forward Caleb Houstan, who paced UM with 60 made 3s as a freshman, has decided to end his collegiate career and remain in the NBA draft. His decision by him coincides with the June 1 withdrawal deadline for players who maintained their eligibility during the pre-draft process.<\/p>\n
Michigan freshman, Moussa Diabate, will also stay in the NBA draft. With Frankie Collins transferring, only Kobe Bufkin, who played sparingly last season, and Isaiah Barnes, who played less than that, remain from the No. 3 recruiting class of 2021.<\/p>\n
A five-star prospect, Houstan was the No. 11 overall recruit, becoming the highest-rated player to sign with the Wolverines since 247Sports began compiling data more than 20 years ago. Scouts and executives in the NBA pegged him as a potential lottery pick in the 2022 draft before Houstan played a minute for the Wolverines.<\/p>\n
