The latest article at The Athletic notes that UM now has 7 first round picks since 2013. Fourth most in that span behind Kentucky (15), Duke (13) and UCLA (8). The article mentioned that none of UM's guys were McDonald's All Americans, but I thought I'd take that a little bit further and look up the 247 Composite rankings for each UM pick.
I had a general idea, but most were even lower than I had remembered...
Hardaway - 161
Burke - 93
McGary - 28
Stauskas - 110
LeVert - 239
Wilson - 123
Wagner - 119
Average recruiting ranking of 125! I'm not going to take the time to crunch the numbers for the other teams, but I'd be surprised if the average for the UK or Duke players is worse than McGary's 28.
This should make for some great ammo on the recruiting trail.
