It's No Longer a Two-Team Race for Olivier Nkamhoua

After Tennessee forward transfer Oliver Nkamhoua reportedly narrowed his list of options down to Baylor and West Virginia, Michigan made a late strong push and is now "back in consideration," according to Joe Tipton of On3 Sports.

The former Volunteer is expected to make a decision sometime this week but considering how the story has changed so many times in this recruitment, it may not happen anytime soon. 

For West Virginia, and really all the schools in consideration, they would probably like to know a decision soon so that they can make plans for what to do next if they are unable to land him. 

If West Virginia is the choice for Nkamhoua, he would likely contribute off the bench with a projected starting frontcourt made up of Tre Mitchell and Syracuse transfer Jesse Edwards. 

Nkamhoua will have one year of eligibility remaining.
