Key takeaway Dusty May and the Dallas Mavericks are finalizing a contract for him to make the jump to the NBA, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Monday.
Why this matters in The San Antonio
The sudden departure of Dusty May from Michigan's basketball program and Mike Boynton's promotion to interim coach may have ripple effects in the San Antonio area, where college basketball is closely followed. With the University of Texas at San Antonio and other local colleges competing for top talent, the movement of coaches and players can impact recruiting efforts. Boynton's experience in recruiting top players, such as Cade Cunningham, could be an asset in convincing Michigan's current roster to stay, but it may also make him a target for other programs, including those in Texas. As the college basketball landscape continues to shift with the transfer portal and name, image, and likeness rules, local fans will be watching to see how these changes affect their favorite teams and the sport as a whole. The freedom of movement that allowed May to jump to the NBA may become a recurring theme in college athletics.
