This report came out not long after Morez Johnson Jr. also declared for the draft while retaining his college eligibility.

He was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year after setting a new program record for blocks in a single season. He also was a third-team All-Big Ten player.

Mara saved his best game for the Final Four against a team very comparable to Michigan in the Arizona Wildcats. He put up a career-high 26 points, as well as nine rebounds, three assists and two blocks, to lead the Wolverines to the National Championship.

On the season, Mara averaged 12.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and 2.4 assists per game while shooting 66.8 percent from the field. He also went 3-of-10 on shots from beyond the arc; those were the first three-point shot attempts of his college career.

We wish Mara nothing but the best of luck in the future, whether that be here in Ann Arbor next season or in the pros.
