Last year Josh Cunningham had a reputation in the city for being a soft player. Safe to say that is long gone. He's roughing up Okafor.[color=rgb(41,45,51)][font=HelveticaNeue][background=rgb(252,252,252)]

Indiana could use some toughness.

Hope the weather doesn't hinder this visit. Freezing drizzle and 4 to 6 inches of snow may be a problem.

We really don't need another wing.  Even if one leaves we still have plenty.  What we need even less is a player that will tie up a scholarship for 4 years.

 

We need tough, talented, hard working, good shooting basketball players.

 

To use an old phrase in a completely different way; "Size doesn't matter".

We need bigs, unless you want a 6-6 or 6-7 player in the post in the B1G.  I sure don't.

 

What makes you think this guy is a "basketball player"?  Have you seen him play?  I haven't.  Williams was a 4 star too, and he's 100% "athlete" not "basketball player", and highlight videos can make pretty much anyone look good.

Hey, I'm a middle-aged hoops fan in the suburbs. My post is not necessarily an endorsement of Josh Cunningham. My point is that high-level players can be a little less tall and still very effective. 

 

Seven footers aren't necessary. Matt Howard  (first example that came into my mind) took Butler to two straight national championship games as a 6'7" skinny center. Bobby Wilkerson jumped center and was a leading rebounder on an undefeated national champion as a 6'6" two-guard.

That undefeated team also had Kent Benson (6'10) starting at center.

 

I just think we have enough 6'6 to 6'7 players.  We need depth down low, I don't trust Hanner and Peter doesn't count.  We are in serious trouble of Vonleh goes pro so if I was coach I'd be looking at JUCOs and graduate transfers as stop gaps in the post.

Agree that PJ doesn't count. I think that Hanner will be a valuable defensive piece in the future. 

 

JUCOs and grad transfers?  

 

Dean Garrett is NOT walking through that door. Ya know what a high-end 6'10" grad transfer big looks like?

Sandi Marcuis.

A high-end JUCO center? 

Eloy Vargas.

I'd be happy with a Carl Landry.
