Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4229020, member: 27"] I think a lot of people on the board were not enamored of Jesse when he verballed here. Not because of his skill set, or anything specific about him. It was all about the fact that he was something like the fifth center that we went after that year, swinging and missing on the earlier ones. There are exceptions, but in general, the less the board (as a whole) likes a recruit, the better they end up being. Guys like Elijah Hughes, Buddy Boeheim, Marek Dolezej and Jonny Flynn come to mind. Not sure who we end up bringing in as the new backup center, but I am confident most on the board will dislike the player and he will end up far better than they expect. [/QUOTE]
