Michigan's basketball program has lost another player. This will mark the fourth
transfer since Michigan ended its season with a
loss to Ohio in the NCAA Tournament. Redshirt freshman Sai Tummala has
decided to leave the program after just one year. No reasons were given, but it did leave many fans wondering about the direction of Michigan's basketball team and roster. Losing four players to transfer and two
senior starters to graduation should put up a few red flags for next year.
Tummala's transfer is not extremely surprising. He was rated as a 1* by
ESPN, came in as a walkon, and received no playing time last season. Along with that, he didn't seem to be lined up for much playing time in the future because of Michigan's depth and recruiting. Michigan's
2012 and
2013 recruiting classes are stacked and it's not likely that Tummala would amount to anything more than a glorified backup for Michigan.
