MICHIGAN BASKETBALL Stauskas did not even make the Big Ten's All-Freshman Team after a promising rookie season last year. Harris was the lone member of the 2013-14 Preseason All-Big Ten Team that was also featured on the first-team all-conference list. The preseason team included McGary, whose season ended early because of a back injury, and Glenn Robinson III, Michigan State's Adreian Payne, Ohio State's Aaron Craft and Penn State's Tim Frazier. Sophomore guard Caris LeVert, who experienced a breakout season in 2014, earned second-team All-Big Ten plaudits by coaches and media. LeVert shot 44.0 percent from the field and 41.0 percent from three- point range, averaging 13.4 points per game and adding 82 total assists. Freshman point guard Derrick Wal- ton Jr. was named to the Big Ten All- Freshman team. The Wolverines have had a player on the All-Freshman team in each of the last four seasons: Hardaway (2011), Burke (2012), Rob- inson (2013) and Walton (2014). Robinson III earned All-Big Ten honorable mention. MORGAN RELISHES PARTICIPATING IN ONE-MAN SENIOR NIGHT He came to Michigan a three-star prospect with a soft body and plenty of detractors. He leaves built like an "NFL linebacker," his coaches would note, with two Big Ten champion- ship rings and — soon — a master's degree in engineering to go with his bachelor's degree. Fifth-year senior Jordan Morgan wasn't supposed to be the savior of the U-M program when he arrived five years ago — just one of the bricks in the foundation. He's been all that and more, having helped lead the Wolverines to four straight NCAA Tournaments and at least one national championship game appearance. Morgan scored 15 points and added 10 rebounds in his last regular-season Fifth-year senior Jordan Morgan scored 15 points and added 10 rebounds in his last reg- ular-season home game, an 84-80 win over Indiana.
