Michigan basketball has an ‘invisible’ contributor this season
Juwan Howard calls him the team's 'glue guy'
Michigan basketball has a lot of talented players on its roster this season, but one of the most important players may not be getting the recognition he deserves.

"Eli is our glue guy," Michigan coach Juwan Howard said. "He does everything for us. He's a great defender, rebounder, and passer. He's also a great leader. He's the guy that brings our team together."
