I'm just confused about why he is leaving Pitt.  Dixon said he wanted to be closer to home (N.C.) and then he signs here.  It has all the earmarks of a "wanting to spend more time with my family" firing.  Something was amiss between player & coach.

  Only if they are tempered.  I don't follow recruiting as close as many, but by some things I've read TB would appear to need to add a lot of muscle (one site lists him at 217 pounds).

Bryant is a must get it seems.  However, it's hard to see adding him making us B10 favorites.  Maryland is getting a higher rated big man, Michigan State might land another in Swanigan, Purdue will have two experienced bigs.  Maker would be a difference maker (if only for one season), but I don't see us out recruiting UK or KU.  Reason for optimism, albeit measured optimism.  Missing on TB, on the other hand, yikes.
