After losing both Moussa Diabate and Caleb Houstan to the 2022 NBA Draft, Michigan head coach Juwan Howard and his staff have been charged with the task of filling a couple of open roster spots for the upcoming 2022-23 season.

According to multiple reports, Michigan currently has its sights set on Lebanese forward, Youssef Khayat.

Michigan ‘fully entrenched' in landing Lebanese F Youssef Khayat
It appears as if Juwan Howard is ‘fully entrenched' in bringing Lebanese F Youssef Khayat to the University of Michigan for the upcoming season.

He’s excelled with his club’s youth team – 17.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game — and has also played a featured role with Lebanon’s national team at the senior level.

Howard currently has one open scholarship to give out and it sure does sound like it is Youssef Khayat's to have if he wants to accept it.
