Coastal Carolina transfer Devante Jones is headed to Michigan.
The 6-foot-1 Jones chose Michigan over Texas, Texas Tech and Memphis.
Jones on Michigan: “ Two former NBA players on staff [Juwan Howard and Howard Eisley] who are heavily respected, fan base is great. Great history behind the program as well..”
Jones averaged 19.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.8 steals as a junior en route to Player of the Year honors in the Sun Belt Conference. He shot 36.8% from 3-point range. As a sophomore, Jones earned second-team All-Sun Belt honors; he was Freshman of the Year back in 2018-19.
Michigan is losing a number of key players from a team that earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, including Isaiah Livers, Mike Smith and Chaundee Brown. Eli Brooks is returning under the NCAA’s one-time rule change on adding a year due to COVID.
He also declared for the NBA Draft with the plan to test the waters.
