Former Michigan basketball starter returns to transfer portal.

After two years with the Wolverines, he is back in the portal.

Dug McDaniel, a former Michigan starting point guard, re-entered the transfer portal after one season at Kansas State. McDaniel averaged 11.4 points and 4.9 assists during his one season with the Wildcats. McDaniel started 23 of the 32 games he played at KSU. McDaniel hit 25.8% from three, a career low for the 5-11 point guard.

During Juwan Howard’s last season with Michigan, McDaniel was a season-long starter as a sophomore but he was forced to miss six away games due to an academic suspension. He was allowed to play the home games for Michigan during that stretch, just no away games. The Wolverines would go on to win eight games that season. During his sophomore year, McDaniel averaged over 16 points for Michigan and was the main source of its offense. He would leave the Wolverines when Howard was let go and Dusty May was hired. Both McDaniel and center Tarris Reed Jr. would leave Ann Arbor after two seasons. Wherever he chooses to go next, it will be his last year of college basketball
