MBB: Michigan Is Becoming An NBA Factory
Title Says It All - well except that Beilein is King of the World. Saving that for another thread.
Campus Insiders' Jordan Cornette and Ray Crawford recap the Wolverines selected in the NBA Draft including why Nik Stauskas will star in Sacramento and Mitch McGary will bring the Thunder in Oklahoma City.
Go Blue!!!

Who loses another game first? Basketball or football, because I've layed my eyes upon schedules to the year 2026 and see nary a loss in sight for either squad.
I am having a hard time not envisioning Kanye looking at your avator's spicyweiner.
I am now scarred for life.
or any media at all describing the success of Michigan's performance in the NBA draft? Or how it ranks with other schools? I'm excited to see how all this success will impact recruiting. . . .
this was a very interesting article. Doesn't necessarily compare to other conferences, but it is a great thing to point out to recruits!
The Big Ten produced its deepest NBA Draft in 24 years on Thursday with five players taken in the first round, all in the first 21 picks.
Actually, UCLA was the overall first round winner with three of its players drafted before the round ended.

And yet the media keeps slurping all over Tom Izzo. Although, I'm glad Beilein is under the radar, makes this program even more fun to watch.
Having multiple draft picks will pay dividends on the recruiting trail.
I hope this begins in 2016 - it seems bball has a much longer recruiting period than football - some of these relationships seem to begin as HS freshman so the success of the past 2 years only now may be taking effect. I know most are content with the 2015 class but there were some high profile misses which sort of surprised me since other than Duke and UNC I don't know of a program out there that can combine the academics with the basketball situation right now out there. And yes I realize academics only truly matters for a relatively small proportion of athletes although they all say it publicly.
Here is to hoping Beilein lands some of these 2016s at the top of his list because he surely deserves it.
So in other words Michigan is the bizarro Ohio State.

They are reporting that if Exum had attended college, he would have gone to Indiana to which Creans reaction was:
That face Crean is making is super creepy. Hell, what's he doing with his hands? I feel like this will haunt me for awhile now; not cool people.
