Head coach Dusty May had a perfect reaction to the reunion of his former Michigan Wolverines stars Danny Wolf and Vlad Goldin.

Wolf and Goldin commanded themselves as the Wolverines' attack during May's first year with the program. They shined as star players by leading Michigan to the Big Ten championship title and a run to the Sweet 16 of the 2025 NCAA Tournament.

Their successes as a dynamic duo allowed them to take the next step to the professional level. Wolf earned a first-round selection as the Brooklyn Nets drafted him 27th overall while Goldin signed a two-way contract with the Miami Heat.

Wolf and Goldin finally reconnected ahead of the Nets' matchup against the Heat on Thursday night. They conversed with one another on the bench, as May reacted to the touching moment on social media.

“Area 51,” May wrote, referring to both players' jersey numbers at Michigan.
