Sources: U-M retains 5-star McCoy Jr. in wake of May's exit​

Five-star Michigan recruit Brandon McCoy Jr. is staying with the Wolverines, sources told ESPN, the latest key player from their 2026-27 roster to announce his intention to remain in Ann Arbor after Dusty May's departure.

May left last month to take over the Dallas Mavericks, less than three months after leading Michigan to the national championship. May had been the coach in Ann Arbor for two seasons, going 64-13 overall and 33-7 in Big Ten play.

When athletic director Warde Manuel announced May's departure, he said that assistant coach Mike Boynton had been "appointed head coach in an interim capacity."

Projected starting guard Trey McKenney announced his intentions to stay hours after the coaching change, while Final Four Most Outstanding Player Elliot Cadeau followed suit days later. Incoming transfers Moustapha Thiam (Cincinnati) and JP Estrella (Tennessee) decided to stay earlier this week, as did a host of projected role players.

A 6-foot-4 guard from Sierra Canyon High School (California), McCoy was the crown jewel of Michigan's 2026 recruiting class. He was ranked No. 18 in the final SC Next 100 for the class of 2026 and was a McDonald's All American. When he committed to the Wolverines at the Final Four in early April, he became May's first five-star recruit as a head coach.

He is one of six recruits in Michigan's 2026 recruiting class, including three other SC Next 100 prospects in Quinn Costello (No. 28), Lincoln Cosby (No. 45) and Joseph Hartman (No. 91). All three are expected to keep their commitments to the Wolverines in the wake of May's departure.

One Ohio State football assistant coach is proving he more than belongs​

This new assistant coach is showing that he not only belongs, but he might be thriving with the Buckeyes.

Cortez Hankton has shown traits of being an elite recruiter for Ohio State​

Hankton has only been on staff a few months, but he has done a great job on the recruiting trail so far. He was able to keep Chris Henry Jr. as a signee right after Hartline left. Then, he was able to make sure Jamier Brown was locked in as a commit for the 2027 class. Both are five-star guys.

Neither of those guys was a player Hankton had recruited initially. However, Hankton then landed Austin Miller for the 2029 recruiting class. He will likely be a five-star commit when the rankings come out for that class. Jett Harrison, a 2028 five-star receiver, also committed to Hankton.

There can be some excuses made for all of those recruits and why they chose the Ohio State Buckeyes. Yet, Hankton still had to bring them in. Monshun Sales will be the real test. If Hankton can find a way to secure him, there will be no question moving forward about his recruiting prowess.

Cortez Hankton needs to prove he can develop receivers on the field​

Of course, recruiting is just one half of the equation. Developing receivers on the field and helping them get better is the more important part of coaching. Hankton has to prove that the receivers can become better players in general. That will be the true measure of whether he belongs.

Ohio State has had to replace a lot of assistant coaches over the years. That's what happens when success is attained. Other programs try to poach your guys. Ryan Day has had to deal with that, and he has done well with finding new assistants who have been able to step in and be fine.

It will help that Hankton gets to coach Jeremiah Smith this season. Smith is the best weapon in college football, and no one can truly shut him down. Having him accumulate a lot of stats this season will help Hankton jump-start a solid career with Ohio State.

Ohio State's offense should be one of the best in the country, if not the best. The Buckeyes are going to be running a bit of a new playbook under Smith, but the weapons they have are undeniable, no matter the system the players are running.

Former Ohio State defensive coordinator gives major life update

The former Ohio State coach has celebrated a major life event.

Former Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles gets married​

Knowles has now married his long-time girlfriend, Andi. This is a happy moment for him, and it's probably smart for him to get this taken care of before the season starts. Once the college football season kicks off, he is going to be under a lot of pressure.

Volunteer fans think he will be the second coming of Christ himself, but Buckeye fans know he is a slow burn. Penn State's defense stunk last year in the first year of his system, as it did when he coached Ohio State in his first season. His defense takes a while to implement.
