So...of the 26 players that made the All-Big Ten teams, 23 were listed as Rivals150 players coming out of high school, and another one was a 4-star international player. The 1st team contains four 4-star players, and one 5-star.

Discuss.

By the way, the only two players on this list that are transfers are Palmer and Copeland.  All the rest are playing for the team that recruited them out of high school.

If Miles has been successful at one thing over anything else, it's assimilating transfers into the framework of the NU team concept, and, in the process, allowing the ballers to ball out.
