ive seen a lot of posts worried about rebounds and I dont get it. this is the tallest team i can remember. the bench is very athletic and tall as well and all the players go for it on the boards.

they just outrebounded their first opponents 48-30...don't remember that ever happening in recent seasons. like ever. and the quality of opponent shouldt really matter as lafayette has size and was trying and skill isnt an issue with rebounding i.e. high team ranking doesnt necessarily = high rebounding ranking. you dont have to be a p5 school or even a good team in general to be good at rebounding.

often the zone sometimes makes it hard to win the rebound battle bc of spacing and lack of boxing out but I really dont see rebounding as an issue...def not more than it has been in past seasons...take last year with griff and qg...the forwards this year are A LOT TALLER this season. griff was really a shooting gaurd trying to play undersized forward ..he could jump and went after it but he wasnt the ideal forward in the zone, especislly defensively.

i think the ball pressure on the PG and team is potentially an issue for sure though.

and not sure why you are shaky on frank ..he seems ready to me.
