Although there's nothing easy about navigating through the Big Ten conference, head coach Dusty May and his staff have done an incredible job rebuilding the Michigan roster via the transfer portal. In fact, May currently has the No. 2 overall portal class in the country according to 247Sports latest rankings.

It's still early, but the Wolverines are already one of the leading favorites to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. And when it comes to the Big Ten specifically, Michigan looks to be at the top of the conference as of now.
