Michigan basketball has moved another step closer toward keeping its entire roster intact after Dusty May’s departure.
Incoming freshman Marcus Moller, a 7-foot-3 center from Denmark, and redshirt sophomore guard Ricky Liburd are reportedly sticking with the Wolverines amid the program’s coaching change.
Moller and Liburd are the 10th and 11th Michigan players who’ve pledged to stay after May left for the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks and Mike Boynton Jr. was named interim head coach. That list includes fellow freshmen Malachi Brown, Lincoln Cosby, Joseph Hartman and Brandon McCoy Jr.; transfers J.P. Estrella, Moustapha Thiam and Jalen Reed; and returners Elliot Cadeau and Trey McKenney.
Moller was the first of six commits in Michigan’s 2026 recruiting class that’s ranked fourth nationally by 247Sports. At 7-3, he’ll match former center Aday Mara as the tallest player in program history.
“Marcus is a connector. He plays for his teammates, talks on defense and embraces preparation. He really plays with a poise beyond his years,” May said in a statement when Moller signed with the program in November.
