The first assistant coach hired by Michigan’s new coach is expected to be former Oklahoma State coach, Mike Boynton Jr.
Coaching scuttle: Former Oklahoma State coach Mike Boynton Jr. is soon expected to join Dusty May’s staff at Michigan as an assistant, sources tell @CBSSports. Boynton has other options at the high-major level, but May has put a high priority on Boynton in Year 1 in Ann Arbor.

Boynton, who was let go this offseason by OK. State after a 12-20 season, landed several top 50 recruits for the 2023 class in Eric Dailey and Brandon Garrison. Daily is currently in the portal and averaged nearly 10 ppg. as a freshman.
Boyton was also the coach for Cade Cunningham, who is now staring with the Pistons and a former No. 1 pick.
Originally from New York, Boyton played point guard at South Carolina and has been an assistant at Wofford, USC, Stephen F. Austin. He was officially hired by Oklahoma State back in 2017.
This is a terrific hire by Dusty.
Dusty needs to put together an elite staff and this is a hell of a start. https://t.co/TrLfoHlr82
