I think some posters (not me) are more down then most years because of the center spot defensively, on the other hand the other four positions say we can be as good as any in the county.

Coleman adds weight at center, I think we will be at our best when he can keep guys out of the lowpost inviting time for guys like Lydon and Roberson to help out, and our zone doesn't need to extend as much with guys like Gbinije uptop. Rewatch the second half of the scrimmage and watch how we don't extend we crushed them.

I am more worried about Obokoh defensively then I am Dajuan, but also keep in mind he played with the second team only in the second half I believe.

Go back and watch last years duke game, they beat us soundly but it wasn't just okafor (the only guy in the county that could give rak trouble) their guards played extemely well to keep us out of the game both games.
This year our guards and forwards will give the advantage.

Its early in the season if someone wants to have the guts to guess we are on the bubble, then go ahead be courageous and say our centers are going to give up 24 ppg foul out and our shooting won't be enough to overcome it.

May I add that shooting the ball well is a rare skill early in the season and will help us in 4-5 huge ooc games. I am changing my iggy to unbeaten pre-conference from one loss for that reason.
