Rubin Jones aims to bring variety and winning experience to Michigan

Published

Only one Michigan men’s basketball player had firsthand collegiate experience under Wolverines coach Dusty May. After four years of playing under May at Florida Atlantic, graduate center Vlad Goldin is far and by the most versed about his teaching style and culture.

But another player on Michigan’s roster has plenty of familiarity with May’s coaching, albeit on the opposite side. After six conference games versus May’s Owls in four years at North Texas, graduate guard Rubin Jones chose to spend his final year of eligibility with the Wolverines, now on the same team as May.

And both Goldin and May certainly remember what it was like to play against Jones.

“I’ve played against Rubin plenty of times, and I know how physical he is,” Goldin said at Big Ten Media Days Oct. 3. “He’s a great guy. He knows what winning is, and that’s probably the best quality because when things go wrong, he’s able to bring the leadership and put everybody together.”
