Freshmen Fire Up Michigan | College Basketball News

Michigan’s basketball future just got a major upgrade with six elite freshmen, led by five-star McDonald’s All-American Brandon McCoy Jr. and top-35 recruit Quinn Costello. Despite losing both exhibition games in Lithuania, the duo shined—McCoy averaging 14.5 points and 4.5 rebounds, Costello scoring 13 and grabbing 5 boards—earning crucial minutes while proving they’re ready for the spotlight. Costello, once watching games on TV, credits his shot-making to early struggles and relentless dad-led drills, now thriving alongside stars like Cadeau and McKenney. Coach Boynton Jr. raves about McCoy’s rare athleticism and leadership potential, calling him a future starter. With chemistry already clicking and confidence soaring, these rookies aren’t just filling roles—they’re setting the tone for Michigan’s season.
