How many did we have last year? 

3 (TJD, Reneau, Duncomb) 

I really like the idea of adding Shedrick, will allow IU to match-up with the hulking monstrosities of Purdoo but also go more up-tempo.

B1G could still have a lot of good centers next season (Edey, Dickinson, Dane, Crowl....)

100%. The option to play big and small is huge. (Especially when playing big with athletic guys who can go grab a rebound). Sissoko barely saw the floor in Sparty’s game vs KSU but was instrumental the round before

Technically 4 but 2 played a lot at the 4 and 1 was an All American that played almost the entire game most nights.

So two 5’s then.

If IU bring's in another center, Reneau is starting at the 4.

Exactly my point.  
 

Everyone was/is real excited about playing a “modern” offense that is 4/1 with a pg and 3 athletic wings.  
 

Sparks may have come here as a backup but it surely isn’t as a garbage time guy 3rd center. So if we get another coveted 5, it will be to likely start with Reneau. I suppose the other alternative is that Reneau is possibly gone. I hope not. 
 

 I’m saying prepare your expectations accordingly.

I wonder... I we are going after another big man with Shedrick and Ware... Does the staff have Reneau slim down and work on his speed and agility to play the 4? If he can hit 3s at 30% or better next season, he's going to be a good spot as a stretch 4 where you at least have to respect him shooting a little.

You are what you can guard. I can’t see Reneau guarding the better stretch 4’s or 4th perimeter players on most teams that use them.  
 

Race was a decent defender and got torched by Miami. Murray from Iowa?  I love Reneau but he realistically can’t guard those types out on the perimeter. 
 

Otoh, Reneau is strong looking guy. Outside of Edey I can’t think of too many 5’s in the league that would be bad matchups for him.

Could Shedrick guard that type though? I normally enjoy UVA's style, but they weren't particularly interesting this year so I haven't watched the kid. I know he's billed as an athletic 5, but not sure if that's more vertical than lateral, switchable, etc. or what.

Definitely more of a vertical threat... But compared to Reneau, many are.
