Michigan Tuesday: Yaxel Decision Days

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! 

Yaxel Lendeborg is a 6-foot-9 UAB Forward that has transferred to U of M. He is also considering entering the NBA Draft. He has until Wednesday night at 11:59 to remove his name from the NBA Draft. Yaxel is considered the best player in the portal but still seems to be torn between the Draft and Ann Arbor.

After a strong showing at the combine.  It sounds like his stock projection is anywhere from the mid-20's of the first round to early 2nd.   He is looking for a team to confirm that they will take him and he will have a guaranteed contract. 

On the other hand, if Yaxel comes to Ann Arbor he could be one of the best players in college basketball and maybe a lottery pick after next season.   I'm sure he also has a nice NIL deal lined up.   A great comp could be in football with Cam Ward.

Insiders are torn 50/50 on this one and we will find out soon! 

Update 11:20: Yaxel is heading to Ann Arbor!!

  • Michigan Football got another TE commit prior to the holiday when Mason Bonner a 3 star TE committed to the Wolverines.   Welcome Mason!
  • Speaking of Michigan Mason's:  Mason Graham has signed his $40M contract with the Cleveland Browns. 
  • Michigan is trying to flip LSU CB commit Havon Finney, Jr 
  • The CFP is now going to use a proper seeding method so it doesn't have the mess it created last season.
