Which Michigan basketball players can return after its 2025 March Madness exit?

The 5-seed Wolverines saw their season come to an end Friday night in Atlanta in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament, losing to 1-seed Auburn, 78-65.

U-M has five players out of eligibility, most notably standout center Vlad Goldin. Do-it-all forward Danny Wolf would be a rising senior, but he's a projected first-round NBA draft pick.

The Wolverines have a three-man 2025 recruiting class, led by five-star Orchard Lake St. Mary's combo guard and Michigan Mr. Basketball Trey McKenney.
