Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 5015623, member: 405"] For a portal center, we have to stop looking at bench players on Top 40 squads. There are tons of guys playing a level or two down who are good enough to be the center we need. Get me a guy who is 6-8 / 6-9 and goes about 240 and can step outside and hit a 3. That kid Southerland for LeMoyne is almost what we should be looking for, except he's about 20 pounds light. The Canisius kid would be a good candidate as a pure center, but I don't think he shoots the 3. Here's a list of the kind of player I would be looking for as our Portal Center: DaRon Holmes, Dayton, 6-10, 235 junior, 20 pts, 8 rebounds, 38% from three (!) Rokas Jocius, LaSalle, 6-10, 260 soph, 8 pts, 5 reb, 38% from three Rasheer Fleming, St. Joe's, 6-9, 230 soph, 11 pts, 7 reb, 33% from three Javan Simmons, Toledo, 6-7, 235, 12 pts, 5 reb, 32.7% from 3 as a freshman. Owen Lobsinger, Western Michigan, 6-9, 225 junior, 9 pts, 6 reb, 37% from three. [/QUOTE]
