international centers have been pretty good lately in the NCAA - sabonis, wagner, vucevic, gorgui deng, steven adams, yurtseven, karnowski etc etc - and they are often a bit under the radar...so you'd think easier to recruit.

and the NBA is basically being dominated by international 5's at the moment...for whatever reason they seem to be more skilled than the domestic bigs generally speaking.

I'd like to see the squad get some more international flavor at the 5 - perhaps even some passing and shooting to go along with solid d and rebounding (i know thats a lot to ask) but MD's passing/shooting really opens up the offense...should be a pre-req for the spot i.e. recruiting.

Whatever the case - hopefully the centers recruited are 1) big enough to play the position (weight and height) and 2) are actual basketball players not just tall people

I think if SU could somehow snare a stud well-rounded international 5 of the same ilk that is populating the NBA at the moment - it could be the catalyst to another run at a title.
