Michigan Basketball Lands Jalen Reed

0:00On April 23rd, Michigan men's basketball just locked in a key transfer from LSU, 6-foot-10 power forward, Jalen Reed. The 245-pound senior made the announcement on social media Thursday, with program sources confirming the move right away, Reed brings serious ties to the front court, stepping in as a proven score when healthy. He's entering his final college season after bouncing back from major setbacks. Over the past two years, injuries have cut his campaign short, but he flashed big potential early on. Coming off the bench in six games last year, he averaged 18 minutes, 9.5 points, and 5.7 rebounds per outing. That promising stretch ended with an Achilles' tear during a matchup against Drake, forcing season ending surgery. Still, his 57% field goal clip showed what he can do inside. Now with Reed committing, Michigan gains depth and rebounding punch, setting up an intriguing rotation as they push forward next season.
