Michigan coach Dusty May discussed two players’ NBA decisions, noting they’re weighing NBA interest and receiving feedback from agents, while also addressing Michigan’s transfer portal acquisitions and the implications of the new 5-in-5 rule.
Coaches from UCLA and USC are seeking clarity as the NCAA weighs a sweeping '5-in-5' eligibility rule that would grant five years of eligibility from high school graduation or age 19, effectively ending redshirts and waivers. The change could force major rosters, scholarship planning, and return decisions, prompting questions about grandfathering current players and whether seniors who left for the draft could come back. A Cabinet vote could signal implementation soon, potentially triggering legal and competitive-balance concerns while some supporters say the rule would level the playing field.
