Here’s How Michigan Ended Up Landing Olivier Nkamhoua Even When They Seemed Out

Michigan landed a huge transfer portal pickup today in Tennessee forward Olivier Nkamhoua. Ranked as one of the top 10 transfer portal players available, there were reports that Michigan was out on the forward earlier this week. However, they somehow pulled it off. Based on this tweet from Andrew Slater, a writer for 247sports’ basketball site, it looks like Nkamhoua eventually got his way.

Player wanted A
Father wanted B (money)
Agent wanted C (relationship w/coach)

The player won out. 〽️ https://t.co/WkRu7cNjMH
