Michigan basketball landed its fourth commitment of the 2026 class, with Gainseville (Fla.) The Rock School four-star shooting guard Joseph Hartman making his pledge Wednesday. Hartman is the No. 61 overall player in the 2026 class.

More from Rivals’ Joe Tipton:
Joseph Hartman discussed his decision to choose Michigan with Rivals.

“I chose Michigan because I want to win a National Championship and become an NBA player! I trusted this staff because we’ve built this relationship for a couple of years now.”

In his own words, what type of player is Michigan getting in Hartman?

“I would describe my playstyle as versatile. I can play multiple positions.”

He has a message for Michigan fans.

“Expect me to come in and bring more championships and get the Crisler rocking!”

Hartman becomes Michigan’s fourth commitment in the 2026 class, joining four-star PF Quinn Costello (No. 44 NATL), three-star SF Malachi Brown (No. 181 NATL), and C Marcus Moller.

Official kickoff time for Michigan vs. Wisconsin is 12:10 p.m. ET Saturday in Ann Arbor. This is the Wolverines’ homecoming game and a ‘maize out’ for fans.

Former Michigan basketball stars Caris LeVert and Duncan Robinson are back in the state with the Detroit Pistons.

Quote Of The Day

“Personally, to be candid, I’ve been waiting for this moment to kind of look around and say, ‘Yeah, well, he is just a freshman.’ And it really hasn’t happened. He’s handled the emotion of the game well, in my opinion. He’s handled two really great environments but tough road environments, both in Norman and Lincoln. He’s handled them well. We do a lot on offense. He’s got control at times at the line of scrimmage. [Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach] Coach [Chip] Lindsey and [assistant quarterbacks coach] Josh Sinagoga have done a great job getting him ready to play.”
