"While this is an unfortunate situation for Franz, we know he will make his return as soon as he is able," head coach Juwan Howard said. "We have the finest medical staff and trainers at Michigan so we know he is in good hands."

October 21, 2019 The younger brother of Mo Wagner, Franz has already drawn rave reviews from his coaches and teammates. They say he's a complete offensive player whose defense is beyond his years.
"We're going to be using a lot of Franz," Howard said last week.
That may still be the plan, but Wagner's debut will have to wait. Michigan kicks off the season Nov. 5 against Appalachian State.
