Overview
- Thiam, who announced his decision Friday after a visit to Ann Arbor, becomes Michigan’s third transfer addition of the offseason.
- The 7-foot-2, 250-pound center averaged 12.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.6 blocks last season, starting 31 games and earning All–Big 12 honorable mention.
- He has two years of eligibility left and is ranked a top-15 transfer by multiple national outlets.
- The move addresses Michigan’s search for a true seven-footer as Aday Mara’s status remains uncertain and Malick Kordel departs for Minnesota.
- The Senegal native began at UCF before Cincinnati, and Michigan had an early look when he scored 15 in an Oct. 17 exhibition in Ann Arbor.
