They don't...for the obvious reasons you've pointed out.  As Extreme showed, just look at the plethora of centers we went after, and hard at that, due to our obvious needs and shortcomings.  I mean, the high probability that many of those dudes could've come here and started right away, however, said thanks but no thanks, clearly speaks for itself and is quite telling.

In regards to our guard issues, that's a bit more of an enigma as to why we haven't been able to land a true point guard since Ennis.  We have missed on a lot of those too.  Silent G worked out well, but he wasn't brought here to play the point, it was by necessity and we were quite fortunate how he was able to adjust and have the skill set to be productive there.  We landed Carey, but it didn't take too long to see that he wasn't PG material with his lack of handle, etc., at least not at the P5 level.  We landed Richmond kind of by default after being spurned by Andre Jackson. And as mentioned, unless we go after another guard in the spring recruiting period, or bring in some transfer type, we'll have the same situation next year as well.  I'm high on Richmond at PG as many here are, and I think he could finally be the guy we've been searching for, but JB's stubbornness with his son, rotations, etc. doesn't make me too confident that much is going to change on this front either.
