The top player in the portal is officially headed to the Big Ten, as UAB's Yaxel Lendeborg committed to Michigan early Saturday morning, in news first reported by ESPN's Jonathan Givony.
Lendeborg is a legitimate NBA first round pick who averaged 17 points, 11 rebounds and 4.2 assists at UAB this season. If he does go to Michigan he should immediately plug the void left by Danny Wolf, who is also expected to declare for the draft.
Lendeborg is testing the draft waters, so there is a possibility that he does not return to college in 2025-2026.
