Michigan Basketball is gearing up for another huge season, and on the 50th episode of the Go Blue Hoops Podcast, Tim McCormick breaks down the Wolverines’ biggest storylines, projected top scorers, breakout candidates, and what Brandon McCoy’s departure could mean for Dusty May’s team. Plus, former Michigan guard LJ Cason joins the show to discuss his journey at Michigan, overcoming a torn ACL, the mental and physical challenges of injury recovery, and what he learned from watching the game from a different perspective. 🏀 IN THIS EPISODE: Tim projects Michigan Basketball’s top five scorers for the upcoming season and explains why Trey McKenney could be ready for a breakout year after an impressive European tour. He also examines Elliot Cadeau’s All-American potential, his chances to lead the Big Ten in assists, and the offensive development of Morez Johnson Jr., Yaxel Lendeborg, and Michigan’s other key contributors. How will Michigan replace Brandon McCoy’s expected production? Tim breaks down how Dusty May could adjust the Wolverines’ offensive approach and which players may be asked to take on larger roles as Michigan looks to compete for a Big Ten championship and make another deep NCAA Tournament run. Then, LJ Cason joins Tim for a conversation about his Michigan career and the adversity that comes with a major injury. Cason discusses his ACL recovery, the mental side of rehabilitation, how studying basketball while sidelined changed his understanding of the game, and the importance of teammates and coaches throughout the process.
