Justin, who is one of the four children Larsa has with ex-husband Scottie Pippen, is a four-star recruit. He committed to the Wolverines last April after Dusty May was hired as coach.

Before he joined the University of Michigan's basketball team in 2024, Pippen was a four-star guard prospect out of Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles, California. He selected Michigan over other top programs like Texas A&M, Stanford and Georgia Tech.

Pippen was a highly touted recruit and was ranked as the nation's 106th-best player in the 2024 cycle. However, he struggled to find playing time in his freshman season. He averaged just 1.6 points in 6.6 minutes per game where he appeared in 28 games for the Wolverines.
