It’s another day with more reports that Michigan basketball will keep a few of more of its players on the roster despite the departure of Dusty May. Today, multiple reports said fans should expect center Marcus Moller, guard/forward Ricky Liburd, and forward Oscar Goodman on the roster for the 2026-2027 season.
Center Marcus Moller
Earlier today, Rivals’ Joe Tipton shared that freshman Marcus Moller is expected to stay at Michigan. He’s a 7-foot-3 center who signed with the Wolverines as part of the class of 2026. He’s been committed to the program for nearly a year, and Michigan stuck with him even after he announced a cancer diagnosis. He was the first player in Michigan’s 2026 class to commit.
Forward Oscar Goodman
This afternoon, it was reported by Brice Marich that forward Oscar Goodman would be back for the season, too. Goodman was a redshirt freshman on Michigan’s national championship-winning squad. He wasn’t the largest contributor on the team, finishing with 86 minutes, 10 shots, and going 0-for-6 on 3-pointers. He finished 2-of-5 on free throws. But his decision to stay shows continuity on the roster and buy-in from the program when it comes to interim coach Mike Boynton.
Guard/Forward Ricky Liburd
Ricky Liburd didn’t have any stats from his freshman season at Michigan since he decided to redshirt, but it’s once again a good sign that Boynton is keeping the guys on the roster despite the departure of Dusty May. John Rothstein posted the news earlier today and shared that Liburd could be a breakout player in Ann Arbor once the season starts.
