Bielfeldt wins appeal - Can transfer within B1GTen

Max Bielfeldt

Prior to the 2014-15 season, Bielfeldt was told by Michigan coach John Beilein that this past campaign would be his last at Michigan, and that he'd have the opportunity to enter explore a graduate transfer option to play his final year of college basketball in 2015-16. At the time, Beilein wasn't sure if he'd have enough open scholarships. Now, though, he does.

Michigan transfer Max Bielfeldt told @CBSSports he has won his Big Ten appeal. Can transfer within conference. Eligible immediately.

If Bielfeldt indeed does transfer elsewhere, Michigan's depth at the center position will consist of sophomore Ricky Doyle (6-foot-10, 245), redshirt-sophomore Mark Donnal (6-foot-9, 240) and redshirt freshman D.J. Wilson (6-foot-9, 220). Doyle averaged 6.1 points and 3.2 rebounds last season as Michigan's primary starting five man. Donnal put up 3.4 points and 2.1 rebounds in a little over 10 minutes per game. ...

Also on hand at Monday's banquet was basketball assistant Bacari Alexander, who said -- at this point -- the team is preparing for both Donnal and Wilson to compete for the backup center spot behind Doyle, the team's presumed starter.
