Message: [QUOTE="alphaorange, post: 239612, member: 305"] Calling GTown "Big Man U" is a lot like calling SU "Running Back U". There is no relevance for either of these in recent times. Ewing was '85, M&M were in '90 or so. That means we are headed for 25-30 years since they have had a dominant big man. Hibbert did nothing at GTown and developed almost entirely in the NBA, where his all star status is largely a function of a league that is extremely big man poor. He really is just not that good and his 13/9 stats show exactly that. Monroe is another player that is doing his improving under the tutelage of NBA coaches, not GTown coaches. He is very good, no doubt, but it had little to do with his time at GTown. The fact that he may be the best player under 21 in the eyes of NBA GMs is something you made up backed by no factual evidence and really the age is irrelevant. Compare him to his age peers in 3-4 years and you will find him lacking. [/QUOTE]
