In a stunning development that has left Michigan Wolverines fans reeling, head coach Dusty May made an unexpected announcement today regarding star center Vladislav Goldin. Speaking at a press conference, Coach May revealed that Goldin has been officially named team captain for the upcoming season — a rare honor for a transfer player and one that signals May’s strong confidence in Goldin’s leadership and impact on and off the court.
“This isn’t just about his talent,” May said. “Vladislav has shown incredible dedication, maturity, and commitment to the culture we’re building at Michigan. He’s earned the respect of the locker room.”
The announcement sparked surprise and mixed emotions among fans, especially those still adjusting to the roster changes following the program’s recent overhaul. One longtime supporter outside Crisler Center reacted with visible shock: “I didn’t see that coming. He just got here — but if Coach May sees something special, I’m all in.”
Goldin, who transferred from Florida Atlantic, played under May previously and was instrumental in FAU’s Final Four run in 2023. His appointment as captain sets the tone for a new era of Wolverines basketball.
