Why would good big men even consider SU?

He Dead. Literally. Died in 2008.

So it's his fault? Damn!

Maybe the post player in basketball is as well...

The reason for that lies either 20'-9" or 23'-9" from the basket, depending on your loyalties.

yes let's announce that on pearl washington day vs the hoyas .

We've had a McDonald's All American center on the roster for 7 consecutive seasons now, and in only 1 of them was the center an offensive threat

We have no ability or apparent desire to pass them the ball in situations where they can be effective, like in the post for example. I am growing so tired of our guards looking at a well positioned SU big man on the post and then throwing the ball elsewhere.

Rak would have been a great 4 year player if we had decided to feed him earlier than his 4th year on the squad.

At least when AO and Rick were playing together they would at least feed each other. DC won't even feed Lydon when Lydon has great position and a 8" advantage on the guard trying to defend him.

Yep, yep, yep. 100000%

I remember being shouted down when I bitched about us not using Rak his Soph and Jr year more on offense.

There were a few of us in that camp.

Yeah there's a whole thread about it somewhere. I was firmly in the no way in hell, was Rak ready to do anything w the ball in the post before his senior year camp. When he was getting it there even in his junior year he was a 0. Terrible. It was either the hottest potato for him, and he immediately kicked it out w not so much as a look, before he even pivoted, or it was no touch what so ever. But we all see differently I guess, especially judging from that old thread.

Agree and rak is also a top 10 recruit and plays in the nba. Not going to get that talent all the time. Big guys take time to develop.

To answer the OP's title, if said big man is a Center with pro aspirations, we could pitch what has become the identity of our program, the Zone, & outline how he'll spend his college career doing something that is illegal in the NBA :noidea:
