Michigan makes the 'Final Seven' list for an elite five-star coveted 2026 recruit

Michigan head coach Dusty May has proven his chops in the transfer portal and on the recruiting trail. In his year and a half in Ann Arbor, May has completely rebuilt his squad via the portal twice. Last year, he recruited seven game-ready transfer portal players, and this year, he secured the nation's top-rated portal class. To include the top-rated player in the portal, forward Yaxel Lendeborg.

Some naysayers think that May's portal methods are unsustainable and are making the fact that he is not an elite-level recruiter. He proved that wrong when he landed McDonald's All-American and five-star shooting guard Trey McKenney. Trey has already impressed the staff and his teammates, and I firmly believe he will be a contributor as a freshman. May has continued to push for five-star elite talent, and one of those targets just put Michigan firmly in his "Final Seven".
