Michigan basketball offers Tarris Reed's younger brother, Tristan
Michigan head coach Juwan Howard has extended several offers to class of 2024 and ’25 recruits, and now has a 2026 offer out, as well … and it’s an intriguing one. Tristan Reed, U-M sophomore big man Tarris Reed‘s younger brother, received his offer today, and his brother took delight in retweeting it.

The younger Reed is a 6-8, 210-pound power forward out of St. Louis John Burroughs school. He picked up his first DI offer Saturday from Kansas State, and it didn’t take Michigan long to follow their lead. His brother, of course, contributed last year as a freshman and will be the Wolverines’ starting center this year.
Tristan Reed notched double figure scoring in five games last year for the John Burroughs varsity, including a career-high 12 twice. He’s a post player — he didn’t attempt a three-pointer last season — who finished the last five games of the season 16 of 16 from the floor. He shot 50 percent or better from the floor in 18 of 27 games played.
Reed made an even bigger impact on the glass. He notched six or more in 19 games and had three in double digits. He’s also a good shot blocker, notching three or more in nine games and a career-best six twice.
Reed is playing this summer with MOKAN Elite 15U team, where he’s emerged as one of the up and comers in his class. He’s athletic and continues to get stronger and will be a force when his body fills out.
As of now, Michigan coaches continue to work on 2024 and 2025 recruiting and filling up those spots. They’ve got commitments from a pair of guards in ’24 in Christian Anderson and Durral Brooks, three-star prospects in the On3.com industry rankings, and pursuing several others at various positions. The Wolverines are still in search of their first pledge in the 2025 class.
Reed, meanwhile, is the Wolverines’ first 2026 offeree.
