Oso planning to go pro
Davante was a forward forced into playing the center position because Marquette lacked a true center. And he was exposed on being to small vertically.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Don't think they overlapped. But even if they didn't, it's interesting that somebody who probably knows a lot about "selfish Markus" would agree to be his teammate when he had numerous other choices.

Really? I know very little about any guy who went to my high school for one year after I was already in college. Actually nothing.
He rarely played with Otule on the floor, rarely faced the basket with the ball, and had limited range.
Actually, his senior year, he played too much on the floor with Otule, was forced to guard on the perimeter and had the rest of his shortcomings exposed. Which was one of the problems with that team. Phenomenal low post scorer, but ultimately a one trick pony.
Are y'all really whining about a 7 footer we just signed? This is our first real center in like 40 years.
One Trick: Free throw shooting! A-u-t-o-m-a-t-i-c !!!!!
"Real" Marquette centers that I can remember watching play in my Marquette basketball fandom that will be better than Jayce:McIlvaneJacksonMcKaskillGardnerCenters that he'll be roughly equal to:TheoEdOtuleBarroFischer
You can think that. You named 2 players who were actually centers with imposing size and rebounding skills. You'll learn this next year what being 7 feet tall actually does for a team. All these 6'9s were a stopgap.
At least we have someone now who can match up with Sandro Mamukelashvili when we play the Hall.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Okay. Well then you missed Yusapha Mbao and Liam McMorrow.If your definition of a "true center" is a 7', then you are right, we haven't had many of those. Not a great definition, but terms can mean different things to different people.
He's a stretch PF that can hit threes. I will be concerned if Jayce has to defend him.
Itd be hard to include players who never played a game.
Mbao played. Very forgettably, but he played.
Oooohhhhhh.....So now you are qualifying your statement by using the 6'9" limitation to disqualify Davante. But you also now seem to be forgetting that you said "40 years." Which excludes the following players:Tom Copa (NBA player)Jim McIlvaine (NBA player, GMC player of the year)Amal McCaskill (NBA player)Robert Jackson (general badass)Jayce Johnson will very likely not be as good as any of them. Furthermore, Theo John and Luke Fischer are "real centers."
