Cockburn has never been realistic 1st choice, i do not recall JB going to to see just him in NY.

This past summer JB was watching Akok, Quincy, Jon Bol, Kai and Wahab.

Wahab's primary contact either his coach or guardian is an unknown and they have played it very tight to the vest, visit went well, but no indications.

As we have mentioned several times, for whatever reason the C position is always the most difficult for us to recruit, pro style offense, best players control the ball,  our pro-typical big-men are long, lean forwards between 6'8 and 6'11, usually a combo of great wingspan and/or athletic ability, Bourama is listed at 6'10 and 205 good example.

Cockburn and Wahab are more legacy center position (6"11 250 /6'11 and 235), this is not a sweet-spot for us, it is what it is.

Stewart and Bol are true forwards that would play the C slot.

Pascal was a transfer and the biggest guy we have had in years, we are on ESPN just about every game, Pascal not been a focus for us on offense nor capable), kids watch the games, he is listed at 228 pounds, but much longer at 7'2 and fits more of our profile.

Our 2nd biggest guy weight wise on the team this year is also a transfer and is 6'6 with Hughes at 2'15 pounds, meaning none of our big guys are above 210 pounds and this is our deepest team in many years.

I agree we do need guys that can bang the boards, we are never a good defensive rebounding team, which is a flaw of our roster and the zone, but it has not stopped us from success.

Anyway, it is frustrating for everyone.
