What are the chances of us getting a big man transfer? I am being serious. Delaney and Reynolds are projects as far as I am concerned who can give us about 5 to 10 minutes a game until proven otherwise. Ochefu is pretty much a one man show as far as our front court. I am sorry, but Jenkins and JVP are just not big men as far as I'm concerned, not even close, and Bridges, yes he is long, but he is thin and will get pushed around.
This means that when Ochefu graduates we will have to be relying on a freshman, Spellman, to step up and be the guy from the get go. That is a lot to ask a freshman and it STILL DOESN'T SOLVE OUR FRONT COURT DEPTH ISSUES.
This IS an issue. This is a REAL problem for us. If we had another big guy....BIG GUY, not 6'5.5" listed at 6'7" yesterday who grabbed us a few extra boards, we win that game.
I know, I know, here comes the "well, I think Jay knows the game better than you...." and the "big guys just don't fall into your lap...." posts. But, I know enough about basketball, to KNOW, if we ever really want to get over the hump in the tournament, WE NEED SIXE.
