Michigan basketball coach Juwan Howard has reached out to a number of grad transfer prospects, and the list continues to grow.

Dartmouth's Brendan Barry, who averaged 13.2 points and 3.2 assists per game two seasons ago, shot 44.5 percent from long range and 86.0 percent on free throws. He's from New Jersey and a distant relative of former NBA great Rick Barry.

Barry missed last season due to injury.

“Obviously I wasn’t recruited very highly, and I got down on myself a few times, just thinking about, ‘Am I going to be able to play D-I? Is somebody going to offer me?’ Barry said. last year. “But they find players, wherever they are, and once you get your opportunity, you have to make the most of it.”

His bio from the last season he played:

Enters final season fourth on the active career list among Division I players for accuracy from behind the arc (minimum 80 3FG) at 45.4 percent.
