It kind of seems like because SU struggles to find a big guy that can be effective down low that to break the thought pattern of no success they need a player that can score in the paint but since they can't it looks like the coaches can't coach it, yes? To add to that, SU's offensive system seems to be one that never looks to get the ball inside so why in the world would an inside 4/5 want to go there?

It seems to be of a system of "Hey, you want points? Grab some offensive rebounds then because you ain't getting the ball otherwise.".

Now that said, Edwards has some wonderful hands and footwork but he had that BEFORE coming to SU.  Sid was better his freshmen year than now but we don't know how much his knee has to do with that but still...even a bad knee doesn't stop you from learning to catch a ball.

Also, a lot of 4's may not want to play 5 and since Boeheim recruits skinny kids for the 5 the stronger 4 may get thrown into playing the 5 because of his strength and foul trouble and thus is not interested in going there.

Just seems like a lot of reasons to me on why ACC ready 4/5's don't want to go there.
