Vladislav Goldin, a key player for Florida Atlantic, has decided to use his final season of college eligibility to play for Michigan under new head coach Dusty May. Goldin, who is 7-foot-1 tall, has averaged 15.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game during his three seasons at FAU. With one season of eligibility left, he is expected to bring low-post scoring and pick-and-roll capabilities to the Wolverines.
Goldin played three seasons for May at FAU, including a successful 2022-23 season that saw the team reach the Final Four. He began his college career at Texas Tech before transferring to FAU. Michigan lost scoring and defensive presence when Hunter Dickinson transferred to Kansas, making Goldin’s commitment all the more valuable for the Wolverines.
May is overhauling the Michigan men’s basketball program and Goldin is just one of several transfers who have joined the team. Other transfers include Danny Wolf from Yale, Tre Donaldson from Auburn, Sam Walters from Alabama, Roddy Gayle Jr. from Ohio State, and Rubin Jones from North Texas. Additionally, Michigan secured a commitment from Justin Pippen, son of basketball legend Scottie Pippen.
By committing to Michigan, Goldin has decided to withdraw his name from consideration for the 2024 NBA Draft and instead focus on his final season of college basketball and help lead the Wolverines to success under Coach May.
