Michigan Basketball: Juwan Howard targeting elite recruits is a good thing

When John Beilein was at the helm of Michigan basketball, the largest critique was his ability to bring in the elite recruits. No one doubted John’s ability to develop, how could they? Since 2014 – Beilein’s roster has consisted of six first-round draft picks and only one of them was ranked in the top 50 nationally coming out of high school (Mitch McGary, 28th nationally, class of 2012).

Beilein has the touch, he has the gift; he has the incredible ability to bring in three and four-star recruits and turn them into bonified stars at the collegiate level.
