Malick Kordel is a freshman center from Oberhausen, Germany who took an unconventional path to college basketball. The 7-2, 275-pound big man grew up playing handball, only picking up basketball about four years ago when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down his handball team's practices. His rapid development on the court attracted attention from Iowa, Butler, Villanova, and Xavier before he committed to Michigan after visiting Ann Arbor. Head coach Dusty May has called Kordel "the most pleasant surprise so far," praising his work ethic and noting that his physicality matches or surpasses the Big Ten's standards. Kordel made his collegiate debut against Oakland in November and has provided depth in the frontcourt as he continues his transition to organized basketball.
