Head coach Juwan Howard and the Michigan Wolverines' basketball program put the finishing touches on their 2020 signing class yesterday, inking an outstanding four-man crew that currently stands as the No. 1 recruiting haul in the Big Ten.
Granted, there are still a handful of uncommitted prospects remaining around the country who have yet to choose schools, but the Maize and Blue appear to be finished with the 2020 cycle.
With the final bows being put on several of the classes around the Big Ten, we've decided to take a look at how Howard managed to sign the league's top haul (as of now, at least) in his debut stint on the recruiting trail.
