Players have innate rebounding skills, but if the school apparently doesn't value it, then they aren't going to
excel at it.  I mean, where has SU ranked as far as rebounding for the last N years?  I will go back a 
few years to a glaring example of SU not valuing (caring) about rebounding.

Three years ago, in that 3rd game against Pitt when it seemed like a win-and-in game, SU had gotten to 
within a single possession with seconds to go, and they fouled a Pitt player.  SU had four guys in the lane
to get the miss.  Well, he missed, and the Pitt player, that's O-N-E guy, contested the rebound so much that 
he was the one who knocked it out of bounds.

You want to tell me SU values rebounding?  They don't.  That doesn't mean SU can't get good/great [U][B]rebounders[/B][/U],
but there is no way that the staff focuses time and effort on it.  Jamie Wright's teams, they valued the ball and
went after it.  Not so with SU.

That said, every year/game, I hold out hope that SU will become a good rebounding team, and they have 
size/athletes to be one; we'll find out.
