Michigan Basketball signs 2025 recruits, including the best player in the state

There was no drama at Dusty May’s first signing class in Michigan.

The three recruits currently committed for 2025 – Trey McKenney, Oscar Goodman and Winters Grady – all signed their National Letters of Intent during this early signing period.

“All three are highly competitive players who come from great families,” May said in a statement Tuesday afternoon. “Each of them has unique skills that allow us to continue playing the way we think is best. They have all been coached and developed by some of the game’s most respected and accomplished teachers.”

According to May, Michigan is still pursuing other prospects for the class.

McKenney is the crown jewel so far, a five-star prospect who, according to 247Sports composite, is ranked No. 19 nationally in the class of 2025. McKenney plays for Orchard Lake St. Mary’s; the 6-foot-1 guard is the top-ranked player in the state of Michigan. He committed earlier this month.

“Trey embodies everything it means to be a Michigan man,” said May. “He comes from a family with strong faith and high character. He has learned how to play the game the right way and values ​​competition. His versatility as a big, strong guard will be a huge asset to our program.”

Goodman and Grady, both four-star prospects ranked in the top 100, committed in mid-October. Goodman is a 6-foot-4 forward from New Zealand. He was an all-star at the FIBA ​​World Cup under 17 last summer, was recently named to his country’s senior national team and is ranked No. 76 in the league according to 247Sports.

“He comes from a close-knit family that values ​​everything that our program should be about,” May said. “His training at the NBA Academy, as well as his eagerness and ability to compete, will allow him to positively impact our program from day one.”

Grady, the first 2025 recruit to commit for May, is a 6-foot-4 wing ranked No. 83 in the class. Originally from Lake Oswego, Oregon, he plays for Prolific Prep in Napa, California.

“Winters is an absolute competitor,” said May. “It’s tailor-made for the way we want to play at Michigan. His ability to shoot the ball is one of the reasons why he is ideally suited. His versatility and physicality, both in attack and defense, will mean he can be an immediate factor for us. The more we dug in and got to know him and his family, the more we realized this is a man we need to have in our program.

May said during a news conference last week that Michigan was still recruiting for the class of 2025. Although his inaugural team includes six college transfers, three returners and three freshmen, he said building the roster with high school players is “very important ” stays.

He values ​​traits above all else, but he is eager to build and help develop relationships with high school students in Michigan.

“We’re just trying to bring in guys that we think we can win championships and we want to be there every day,” May said. “We don’t have a really complex formula. We want some skill, we want size, we want toughness, we want great people. But some of it is just a connection.”
