I see what you're saying, but we won't see many C's like Sullinger next year. Look at the Big East even; Adams (Pitt), Dieng, Cooley, then ? I'm sure there's guys slipping my mind, but it won't be exactly murders row. You see a lot more C across the country that are tall and lanky than built like Sullnger/Coleman.
That's what establishes the elite teams - the ones who have NBA potential talent at center. Big guys. You look at almost any conference, and most of the better teams had a guy who goes 250-260 at center. You just can't be 30 pounds lighter than the other guy and expect to win most of those matchups. It doesn't have to be Sullinger; Yancy Gates gave him all he could handle.
