Title: Anyone else concerned with future bigs?
Post by: ErickJD08 on February 20, 2013, 12:46:14 PM
We have no bigs that are freshmen, committed, or in the pipeline.  I am a little concerned.  Anyone else out there?  Thoughts?

Buzz is looking at  size for his 2014 class.   If all else fails, Buzz has shown that he can win small.

Did his wife tell you this?

Steve Taylor would be the freshman. 
Obviously not the same size as Otule or the Low post moves of DG but he is a stretch the defense type that could be really effective

I'm with you on this.  I'd prefer not to go back to the small line-up.

There are reports out there that MU just offered JUCO Michael Chandler, which would be a great gap filler.

Where's Chicos to step in and tell us how classless and disgusting this is?

JOKES ARE NEVER ACCEPTABLE AT ALL IN ANY SENSE ABOUT ANYTHING AT ALL. JOKES ARE CLASSLESS.

Who told you guys I was Irish?   ;D  Two years from now, assuming nothing changes, we will have McKay, Taylor, and Juan.   Buzz has won with less height.   He is offering bigs in the 14 class.   I'm not worried.

Marquette also recently offered center Johnathon Wilkins, 2014

I am always worried about this to some extent, but I am not as concerned now as I have been in the past.  It seemed that there were some years when we had almost zero serviceable big men while Syracuse, UConn, Georgetown, Louisville, WVU and Pitt were bringing them by the boat load.  Right now I think we are doing fine with Gardner and likely Otule around next year and then McKay coming and presumably more in 2014.
