Aday Mara Commits to Michigan Basketball from UCLA

Michigan basketball has secured its fourth transfer commitment of the offseason with former UCLA center Aday Mara, who stands at 7-foot-3. After limited playtime during his two seasons at UCLA, where he averaged 6.4 points and 4.0 rebounds, Mara entered the Transfer Portal and announced his decision to join the Wolverines shortly thereafter. He will join fellow transfers Elliot Cadeau, Yaxel Lendeborg, and Morez Johnson Jr. as Michigan builds its roster for the upcoming season. Mara's height and skill set are expected to provide valuable depth at the center position, particularly as the team awaits Lendeborg's NBA Draft decision. While Indiana and Wisconsin showed interest, Michigan emerged as Mara's preferred destination due to their structured program and potential for significant playing time. His commitment reflects Michigan's strategy of enhancing their front-court options through the transfer portal.
