At the beginning of the century, Craig Forth and Mookie Watkins were steady and dependable (if unspectacular) fixtures in the middle of SU's back line. Since then, the school has given scholarships to 9 different centers, and many of them have either transferred, been injured, or had eligibility issues. It's not quite a Spinal Tap drummer curse, but it's noticeable. Here's hoping Keita is back so he and Roc (and Chinonso) break the pattern.
- 2005 Arinze Onuaku, lost season to injured knee, ended college career with quadriceps injury
- 2006 Devin Brennan-McBride, shoulder injury ended career
- 2007 Rick Jackson, 4 year player, Big East Defensive POY, one of the school's all time winningest players and top ten all time rebounder
- 2007 Sean Williams, transferred
- 2009 Dashonte Riley, transferred
- 2010 Fab Melo, academically ineligible
- 2010 Baye Moussa Keita, 4 year player, valuable off-the-box-score contributor, one of the five winningest players in school history, injured thumb as a frosh and injured knee as a senior
- 2011 Rakeem Christmas, has played every game in his 3 years and steadily improved; on track to become the winningest player in school history
- 2012 Dajuan Coleman, season ending injury sophomore year
- 2013 Chinonso Obokoh, no data yet
