It Looks Like We Need Some Size if We Want to Compete With the Big Boys

depth?

Depth? Syracuse? Boeheim is notorious for sticking to his top 7 players. Yes, some of the players fouled out of the 6-OT game, but on all. I believe Flynn and Harris were in it all the way through.

Syracuse had size though, which we don't.  My point is you can compensate for a lack of size with energy and effort, which we've done all year so that while we don't win the battle of the boards, we aren't totally dominated, but when you play 3 games in 3 days the lack of size gets magnified because the energy isn't what it usually is.  Greg Monroe is still 6-10 whether he's tired or not.

I don't think fatigue will be an excuse moving forward, as it shouldn't be the same factor in a two games in three days without travel scenario.  Ultimately, our lack of size will probaly get us in the end, at least that will be more likely than fatigue.

It's an important topic? Are you sure? Why? Because you posted it?  You have a keen sense of the obvious, chief.

I guess you do not understand. Recruiting a couple competent bigs is an important topic/issue/agenda/priority/etc.

I heard from a guy who should know we got one coming in next years class.  Who?  "Wait till signing day, I can't say more."

I believe the guy.  

So I know we don't have a schollie and the whole debate that follows that, but who could it be?  I bet Buzz will surprise us all again.

If you are tired of the topic--don't read it. Lots of us are tired of getting our asses handed to us down low. It is an important topic, and our recruiting efforts are lacking in this area.

i have no problem with this being a topic, or us talking about it. i just get annoyed that it came up now. why wasn't this topic started after the south florida game or Cincinnati game? why only after the loss? you can't have it both ways....

I heard from my wife's cousin who knows an athletic trainer that Jim Chones is coming back for his final year of eligibility. I believe it!

what people don't get, When Monroe gets in Attack Mode (he's not usually like this) Georgetown is a top 5 team in the country. When he gets that fire in his eyes, no one can stop him. Period.
