JB and staff have noticeably recruited much bigger size...

[Reality Man]

coincidence or experience against bigger teams. This may not be a better team than some past JB/UM teams but it clearly is bigger with Doyle, Wilson, Donnal, Chatman, Dawkins, Irvin & LeVert.

Is this team among the tallest teams ever at UM? Except for pg....this team is tall.

P.S. Robinson, Teske plus other guys being recruited...JB wants length at every position. Pretty soon UM will have a 7 ft pg

It's just been awhile since UM has been this big/tall. Last team this tall?

'89 team bigger?

Probably. There are definitely some 'lengthy' UM teams...

but JB seemed to have small teams but now is either able to recruit the tall team he wants or has had a change in philosophy.

Re: Probably. There are definitely some 'lengthy' UM teams...

At some point in the last 12 months I specifically remember Beilein commenting that with the new block/charge rule changes that he'd have to recruit more shot blockers to provide interior D because taking charges wasn't a viable strategy any more. DJ Wilson and Jon Teske are certainly of the shot blocker variety.
