In an era when college basketball players change teams on a whim and can test the NBA waters before returning to school, the job of reshaping a roster is more difficult than ever for coaches around the country.
But for Michigan basketball coach Juwan Howard, assembling his team for the 2022-23 season became significantly less troublesome Sunday evening when star center Hunter Dickinson announced his intention to play a third season in Ann Arbor.
“I ain’t done yet,” Dickinson said on a graphic shared across his social media platforms.
Michigan’s leading scorer and rebounder had remained quiet about his future in the weeks since a Sweet 16 loss to Villanova. In the aftermath of that game, Dickinson said he would need time to sort through his options before deciding whether to return or enter the draft for the second consecutive year.
