Perhaps it has been posted in some thread along the way, or the recruiting board, but I've haven't seen the reason posted here why we have been so terribly unsuccessful in landing a guy at the 5 spot that can make any contribution behind Sidibe, let alone being unsuccessful in recruiting over him?  Some folks here say how much potential Edwards and Bol both have to be pretty darn good, but what do you see that makes either one of these guys more than a Sidibe part deaux type come their junior year, with the same issues?  Why should anyone expect their progression to be any different based upon their seemingly similar starting points as frosh like Sidibe's?  Are we just expected to be pigeon holed into this apparent plight of ours at this spot for the duration of JB's remaining tenure?

You would think with our overwhelming weakness at this position that a legit 5 guy (let alone a P5 one) would look at us and be saying, [I]dang, I can probably play a chit-ton of minutes my frosh season with what they got there... sign me up! [/I] It's really perplexing IMO. I just don't get a how a program like SU's (whom many here believe we are just under those usual blue bloods) keeps striking out in this regard.
