Ok, thanks for your take. From my seat, Rak is a stretch 4, who'll be returning to PF as our centers start contributing more. I don't think he lasts until 2014, but if he does, he's not going to be playing the 5 if our centers are functioning properly. Even at the 4 two years from now, he'd be battling Grant and McCullough ... who arrives in 2014 and is a monster.
 
I think you misunderstood my reference to TB. Obviously, he's a 4, and hasn't committed yet (maybe waiting to see if the hammer is one/done). But TB's in the same class and is just as big as Diallo ... the guy you think we should turn down an athletic 7 footer (Chukwu) and a monster shot-blocker (Goodluck) for. I'm no talent guru -- Francis and Tee are the guys to listen to on recruiting. But I doubt the staff is going to pass on players as big and promising as GO and Chukwu just to pine for a 6'9 Diallo a year later (if he's available).
 
Whatever happens -- this is a great problem to have. SU is absolutely sick with front line talent this year and next -- with CJ dominating the ACC this season, McCullough coming next season and Grant and Roberson exploding. At center, I look for DC2 to take a big step this year, and Keita has been playing great D and running the floor like a dear. Chino will be a nice player for us down the line. And whether we take a Chukwu or GO, or wait on someone else, we're going to continue play at an elite level.
