Michigan’s top recruit Brandon McCoy Jr. is sidelined for the entire 2026-27 season after tearing his ACL in Montenegro during the team’s European tour — a devastating blow for the defending national champs who already lost key depth before the season starts. Once ranked No. 14 nationally and averaging 14.5 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 steals per game, McCoy’s injury forces head coach Mike Boynton Jr. to pivot fast as the Wolverines scramble to rebuild their roster and strategy without him.
