I was skeptical too before looking at his game-by-game stats and a couple Coppin State games on YouTube.  I mentioned Medley-Bacon's impressive second half-season earlier in this thread.  It's the MEAC but I'd be very hesitant to bet money that Edwards could start in that league next year and average the 7.5 pts/8.9 rebs/2.1 blks that BMB did.  JBA hasn't proven anything yet.  Right now, BMB is better.  He's also 30 pounds heavier than any of our centers which would give SU another dimension at the 5.  Edwards/JBA might be better down the line but that's debatable.

Is BMB more than just "a guy"?  The MEAC makes it tough to tell.  But I think board and block skills translate pretty well across leagues.  He's a great rim protector and his second half rebounding was practically double figures every game.  That said, the waiver question matters regarding team-building.  Plus, there are many other centers in the portal and probably more to come, so I'm OK with SU taking it slow on him.  Admittedly, I'm starting to lose faith in SU landing an elite big anytime soon.  If BMB is reasonably above the median point of that wide range between "just a guy" and "elite", it would be a good addition.
