The day after adding Duke’s transfer Joey Baker, Michigan Basketball will be reportedly added to the 2022-23 roster.
Just when it looked like Michigan basketball May have Completed the list For the 2022-23 season, there are reports that Juwan Howard has another possible addition to his sleeve.
UMHoops reported On Saturday, Michigan Basketball is seriously pursuing the international combo forward Youssef Khayat. He is reported to be in the range of 6 feet-9.
Although he is from Lebanon, he has the potential to play three or four for Wolverins and will be able to play next season as well.This is UMHoops’ Dylan Burkhardt writes::
“Michigan is completely obsessed with adopting the 6’9 Youssef Kayat. Khayat is a Lebanese forward playing in the U21 program of Limoges CSP, one of Europe’s best youth leagues. He excels in the club’s youth team (17.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists per game) and is also attracting attention at the senior level of the Lebanese national team. Khayat’s plan is to attend a university in the United States. Yes, he will soon announce a list of the top four. Expect Michigan, Xavier, DePaul and Wakeforest to make the cut and the decision to come sooner or later. “
Michigan must have a good shot
The international road was previously used by Michigan, even under Juwan Howard, whose latest example is Franz Wagner. Wolverins needed more talent in his roster (after Jordan Poole and Iggy went to the NBA), and UM was able to add Franz later in the process. I will start working immediately.
It doesn’t seem like Kayat will visit any school before making a decision, so Michigan seems to have succeeded in sending prospects (like Wagner) to the NBA in court and as the first round. The pick will be advantageous.
If Khayat wants to play in a major program with a chance to win and a program that will help him reach the NBA, Michigan Basketball is an easy choice.
And if Juwan could pull this off, it would be a big coup for Wolverins, who desperately needed a talented combo that could start on behalf of Moussa Diabaté.
