ANN ARBOR, Mich. \u2014 Three days after winning its first national title since 1989, Michigan has started retooling its roster for next season.<\/p>\n
J.P. Estrella confirmed on Instagram Thursday that he is transferring from Tennessee and joining the Wolverines. ESPN was first to report Estrella’s move.<\/p>\n
A 6-foot-11 forward, Estrella averaged 10 points and 5.4 rebounds last season for the Volunteers, who lost to Michigan 95-62 in the Elite Eight. Estrella, who appeared in 33 games and made 13 starts this season, had seven points and seven rebounds in that game.<\/p>\n
Estrella will graduate from Tennessee in the spring and has two years of eligibility remaining. He redshirted in 2024-25 due to a foot injury.<\/p>\n
Coach Dusty May has had success acquiring frontcourt players through the transfer portal in his two-plus seasons at Michigan.<\/p>\n
Yaxel Lendeborg has exhausted his collegiate eligibility, while Morez Johnson Jr. and Aday Mara could opt for the NBA draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ANN ARBOR, Mich. \u2014 Three days after winning its first national title since 1989, Michigan has started retooling…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":707054,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3723],"tags":[7,319,217,231,772,1544,2148],"class_list":{"0":"post-707053","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-basketball","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-college","10":"tag-college-basketball","11":"tag-ncaa","12":"tag-ncaa-basketball","13":"tag-ncaab","14":"tag-wires-bot"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116378055766688446","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=707053"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707053\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/707054"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=707053"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=707053"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=707053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
