The No. 3-ranked prospect and No. 1-ranked power forward in the Rivals150, McGary could have the same impact for Michigan as a freshman as did Kevin Love, Tyler Hansbrough and Jared Sullinger did for their respective schools.
McGary's addition to Michigan's recruiting class pushes the Wolverines all the way to No. 4 in the rankings.
Michigan isn't the only team in the Big Ten in the national team recruiting rankings. A total of four Big Ten schools are in the top 25, placing the conference in a three-way tie with the ACC and Big 12 as the second-most represented conference.
The top conference is the Big East, which has seven teams in the rankings and Providence as the highest ranked of the bunch.
The Pac-12 and SEC both have two teams each in the rankings, and the Atlantic-10 and Conference-USA are represented by one team each.
