“I hope he’s not too good as a freshman,” is something former Michigan basketball coach John Beilein has said that to his assistant coaches in the past.
That is also something Jim Harbaugh does not have to even think about. One can only imagine that the recruiting game wore on Beilein. To travel around and get top talent only to watch it walk out the door after one season seems to be taxing, especially as Michigan basketball repeatedly lost players to the NBA over the years.
Clearly, there are some things the NCAA has got to try to fix.
