Michigan promotes Boynton Jr. to full-time head coach, signaling continuity

Michigan promoted interim head coach Mike Boynton Jr. to a two-year, full-time deal after two seasons on the staff and his prior run as Oklahoma State’s head coach (2017-2024). With most players staying and only one (L.J. Cason) considering a departure, the roster remains intact as Michigan—coming off its first national championship since 1989—looks to sustain success; Boynton becomes the program’s sixth 21st-century head coach and the first promoted from within.

Stokes Tops Early Look at 2027 NBA Draft Amid Weaker Class

Sports Illustrated releases an early, top-30 big board for the 2027 NBA draft, projecting a weaker class and noting that potential extra eligibility for graduating seniors could reshape stock. Tyran Stokes leads the list, followed by Caleb Holt and Stefan Joksimovic, with players spanning college and Europe. The piece emphasizes mixed ceilings, maturity concerns, and the volatility of a year‑out projection, while highlighting how changes in eligibility rules and a thin frontcourt cohort could create late risers as scouts monitor development, performance, and readiness across the board.
