With Mara now in the fold, May has a sufficient plan, and players, in place to overcome the loss of production he was up against with Goldin and Danny Wolf (presumably) departing for the NBA. Mara joins fellow transfer commits Yaxel Lendeborg and Morez Johnson Jr in May’s new look frontcourt.

Mara had a meager stat line for the Bruins last season, averaging just 6.4 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. However, he is oozing with potential, and unlike Goldin, Mara comes to Michigan with two years of eligibility. While his offensive prowess is in need of some development, Mara is incredibly disruptive on the defensive side of the ball. He is two inches taller than Goldin and boasts a 7-7 wingspan. Having someone that tall and with that incredible wingspan patrolling the paint will allow Michigan’s guards to be more aggressive and should increase turnovers and fast break scenarios.
