Beilein may be the best BB coach in the B1G

He turns 3 stars into early NBA entries, while Izzo turns 5 stars into seniors.

I wish he was 10 years younger!!!

Simply the best!

Turning 5 stars into seniors isn't necessarily a bad thing. Most, but not all 5 stars have plans to leave early but some are indifferent and just want to get to the NBA someday when they feel they are ready. I think it's actually a credit to Izzo that he can get kids who have probably been standout stars and have been put on pedestals their entire young lives to buy into a team mentality.

That said, I understand the point you were trying to make and I definitely agree in part. And the amazing thing is that I think you're the first to really mention it yet we've all been seeing it happen for years.

Unfortunately it's the opposite in football. We get the high rated recruits and some asshole up the road turns 2 and 3 stars into good players.
