http://nyti.ms/1MVzh2H- Wisconsin Has Avoided Arms Race in Recruiting - APRIL 5, 2015

Some quotes I really liked from it:

"Ryan does not run a charity for scrappy, underappreciated players. He wants the best players for his system, but his system favors a certain kind of player: He must be able to play all five positions on offense, or be willing to learn; on defense, he must limit fouls; and he must work on free-throw shooting and fundamentals."

"Ryan’s ability to step back from the recruiting arms race and shape recruiting around his program also has the merit of reinforcing his system — the swing offense, his man-to-man defenses — which works because everyone understands that it is bigger than any one player."

"'We understand the culture,” he said. “We understand the philosophy, and we understand what works at Wisconsin.'"

I really like our recruiting class and some of the targets we are after in the future classes. Hopefully, they are bought into what Coach Miles wants to do and we are bringing in young men who willing to put in the work for multiple seasons. And, most importantly, fit what Coach Miles wants to do with his system. Like that last quote says, I hope we figure out, "What works at Nebraska."

Interesting article and it made me complete a little research.  I ran across this article in reference to Danny Nee's recruiting to Nebraska.

This begs the question: What exactly is Nebraska's/Miles' philosophy?  What exactly are the characteristics he looks for in recruiting?
