The Jim Boeheim Show - before Virginia

[SWC75]

Steve, I love your optimism but even as a freshman Fab oozed potential that gave us reasons to be very hopeful for the following season. He came in overweight and his poor conditioning was the biggest thing holding him back. Those issues were correctable over the summer. We haven't seen those flashes from Chukwu.

Fab's numbers as a freshmen were very close to Chukwu's numbers as a freshman at Providence. The differences favor Paschal:

Fab as a freshman:
9.9M 9.4P 7.8R 1.0A 1.2S 3.1B = 22.5+, 2.7MFG 2.0MFT 3.1TO 7.3PF = 15.1- = 7.4NP 4.7OE 2.7FG

Paschal as a freshman:
9.9M 10.7P 9.9R 0.6A 1.1S 2.7B = 25.0+, 2.0MFG 1.9MFT 2.3TO 7.5PF = 13.7- = 11.0NP 6.8OE 4.2FG

The one difference - Fab started to show some signs of having "it" at the end of his Frosh season.
Had some good moments out there, that hinted at what he might become.

Unforunately, PC isn't playing at all, so we can only hope he's having those sorts of moments in practice.
At the very least, he'll be another year older and more experienced, so hopefully he can be more of a presence in the middle for us moving forward.
You can't teach 7'2" - but hopefully you can coach it up.
