Totally agree ez.  Looks like Red is going for longer and more athletic/physical guys at the wing, PG, and center positions.  Our defensive numbers last season were the lowest in the ACC..

There have been criticisms from the board on recruiting non-shooters.  Carlos and Bell shot 32% and 35% and Lampkin had inside strengths but  had major deficiencies in shot blocking and rim protection.  Bell had  pathetic rebounding numbers and had limited ability to put the ball on the floor.  I'll be uber bummed if they don't get a wing better than Bell.

Through the season there were constant but valid  complaints about not having a shot blocking center getting starter minutes. Apparently Red heard the complaining and is recruiting the former center from FSU.  Limited offensively but again will be a terror on the defensive end. 
I also was really impressed with the 6'6" PG they're looking at.  Modest numbers in the mid 30% from 3 point range but great assist numbers, can get to the basket, and can really run the point.  It would be great if we could get a point with those qualities.
