Would love to get a pair if…

Would love to get a pair if anyone ends up with (2) they are willing to sell.  Was able to take my son to his first Ohio game this year and would be an amazing experience for us to go to this game too.  

I see why everyone is so…

I see why everyone is so excited about the 5* recruits seemingly already becoming more in the mix compared to the Beilein era.  I am excited to have Howard on board and with his history and experience and am truly looking forward to seeing him put his own mark on the program.  I am giving Howard the benefit of the all recruits (whatever * rating) are going to be great recruits for him and is system for this next year.

That said, I do worry about the expectations that getting 5* talent will translate into a great team and continued recruiting success.  I have seen coaches that chase the highly rated talent (Tom Crean comes to mind) regardless of how they fit in the system and with the roster they have and it rarely ever works.  I am not trying to devalue 5* talent, but rather am simply trying to put some perspective that all of these 5* coming on board is not necessarily the best path for a program that can't necessarily replace them quickly over and over again, due to early departures.
