McCoy Commits to Michigan as Boynton Takes the Helm

The five‑star prospect's decision underscores a stable roster ahead of the upcoming transfer portal window.

McCoy Stays Put

Brandon McCoy, a five‑star prospect ranked No. 13 in the 2026 class, announced that he will stay with the Michigan Wolverines for the upcoming season. His high school career included being named California All‑State Player of the Year, earning McDonald’s All‑American honors and participating in the Jordan Brand Classic.

The commitment follows the departure of head coach Dusty May for the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, leaving interim coach Mike Boynton Jr. to steer the program. Boynton praised McCoy's talent, competitiveness and ability to impact the game in multiple ways.

A Roster Built to Last

All five projected starters have now re‑committed, marking a rare continuity for a program that traditionally experiences high turnover. McCoy's pledge makes him the ninth player to re‑pledge to Michigan since the coaching change.

The transfer portal for Michigan's men's basketball team is set to open on July 24 for a 15‑day window. If a full‑time head coach is named before that date, the portal will open five days later and remain active for two weeks.
