Things discussed:
Craig survived a session in the studio with Terry Mills and Craig’s Teske Opinion.
Hard to get the great guys these days: Jay Wright is never leaving Nova, Brad Stevens, etc.
Brian: Three guys over the Yaklich line.
Cooley: Craig steals the Bunk Moreland reference from MGoBlog
Juwan: A guy. Works his ass off, people all love him, developed a couple of bigs.
Because of one and done Juwan has been coaching guys younger than Teske already.
Howard is a lower floor than Beilein’s assistants? Higher ceiling?
Just seven(!) black coaches in the major conferences.
Recruiting: he knows AAU guys. 5-stars are already showing pics of themselves online with Juwan.
Jalen Wilson: lost probably unless we retain Yaklich. Odds better they keep Bajema.
Reasonable expectations for this year: same if Beilein lost all these guys.
Playing DDJ: Beilein didn’t want to upset the run. John B did listen to our calls to play Castleton.
Had Johns in the wrong position. He should be really happy about this hire.
Elements of what Michigan’s been doing in the Heat’s system. Spoelstra connection, they got Dunc too!
Assistant coaches: coaches usually get at least a guy. Craig wants everyone retained.
Get them an analyst group!
Saddi wasn’t originally a big man coach but Beilein thought he could be.
Nobody at Michigan State could coach at Michigan. Nobody.
Zeb Jackson is going to prep school in Florida now. 2020 is the year we see if Juwan can croot.
Warde: we’ll see with the assistants but he did a good job.
