Michigan Wolverines

Michigan basketball will have 11 new faces on this year's roster, including seven transfers and four freshman. Each week we will look at a new player leading up to the first regular season game on Nov. 4 against Cleveland State.

Danny Wolf

Wolf is a junior transfer from Yale with two years of eligibility remaining. He is from Glencoe, Illinois and stands at 7 feet tall, playing forward/center.

His Game

Wolf plays aggressive and is a talented spot-up shooter. One of Wolf's strengths is his court vision. He is also a very skilled passer for a player his size. The junior crashes the boards and possesses strong instincts on defense.
