This is a good post.  And in good faith, I think you perhaps misunderstood part of what I was trying to say.  I never implied that it was easy for centers to excel in their first season.  That's why I did the research I did.  The guys you have listed above add to my position rather than detract from it.  These guys you have named are all top 170 guys, and few did very much.  That's what I tried to say too using SU guys (except I looked at what they did for their entire career at SU).  So from a logical standpoint, if you take a guy who is ranked outside the top 300, who is rail thin, with limited experience, it is nearly impossible for us to expect him to make much of any kind of meaningful contribution.  That's really not me trying to be a jerk, that's me trying to explain something that statistically doesn't make sense.  The odds are pretty low that Majak, outside of having an awesome name, will do much but be a very big practice guy.  I just really want to do better than that.

Maybe that's where we were butting heads, i don't know.  But I agree with you that first year centers more often than not don't contribute much, even the 4 and 5 star guys.  That's the basis of my stance with a guy like Majur Majak.  Also, when anyone (not just you) replies to one of my posts, and repeatedly questions my opinion, it comes off as though you'd like to change my opinion (whether that is your intention or not).  That's why I called it bullying.  Olive Branch?
