Love this metric that you've created, I think you also want to adjust for pace and number of games though. The raw numbers you're using are season totals but it's going to come from a really different number of possessions. Last year Michigan had 66.6 possessions per game (2464 possessions over the season) compared with 70.1 for MSU (2734 for the season). That's an extra 300 possessions for Xavier Tillman to generate stats compared with Teske. Really you care about the per-possession probability of getting a block/steal/OREB/TO, I think you're implicitly discounting the stats of teams that play at a slower pace.
Of course, this will only help your claim that Teske is really good...
They had two small classes in a row with a lot of attrition. In 2013-14, they were heavy on upperclassmen, so only had two sophomores and two freshmen. Of that group of four players, one is now playing professionally in Italy (Della Valle), one had several concussions and has ended his career (Lorbath), and one took a redshirt (Williams). Result is only one of the four is currently rostered (Loving)

Thought I saw Max Bielfeldt on the broadcast as well
Good point, you're 100% right
