Everyone wants bigs.  That isn't the issue.

Good to hear that you have issues Skink!

[brandx]

When all you got is 6'11", 6'9", 6'8", 6'8", and 6'7" on the roster - it's pretty obvious that you can't recruit bigs

Well played Freshman.

yeah--here they are: 6'11" Otule: a 6th year senior who was a 2 star out of HS who is either Roy Hibbert or a marginal Europe player, according to most on this board
6'9" Must be McKay: a JUCO who shows promise but is unproven
6'8" Must be Gardner: a top 500 out of HS who many said was a reach or is overweight--but has a shot a the pros
6'8" Taylor: a good player coming off surgery
6'7" don't know who that is, but not really a stud big out of HS--6'7" generally is not a big
You forgot a few: Mbao, Roseboro, and McMorrow
Maybe Taylor, and possibly McKay would make some drool, but neither is a true  stud Center.

There, now you have plenty of ammunition to moan.

Yeah forget the 2 stars and low ranked recruits who end up getting paid to play after college somewhere. I want bigs like Deshonte Riley who are top 100 and on the fast track to the NBA before never playing in college and transferring to a low major where they can put up 4 points and 2 rebounds per game.

You're a moron.

With you making the decisions - we'd have Evan Anderson (the stud for UW) instead of gardner. He had more stars than davante so he has to be the better player.

Maybe Buzz & Bo can get together on a trade - Gardner & a walk-on for Anderson.

6'7" happens to be Jamil - another good inside defender.

Your sh*t gets weaker with each post.

[mileskishnish72]

Back on topic, we gotta get this kid. Defense, schmefense - he never misses!

[willie warrior]

Your sh*t gets weaker with each post.

And your posts are sh#t

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

It must be the offseason. Every thread has turned into some sort of (usually pointless) argument. We are all suffering from basketball withdrawal.

[brewcity77]

And your posts are sh#t

The "I know you are but what am I?" comeback just gets more and more effective every time I see it. Nicely done.

[MU Buff]

He's down to South Florida and Miami per a lot of people on twitter

[brewcity77]

This could lead to Marquette taking a closer look at Riley LaChance as a 2014 shooting specialist.

They aren't, though

[martyconlonontherun]

So Willie disregards us offering top big men because offers don't matter until we sign one. But its an outrage if we offer a guard?  So is Buzz not suppose to offer anyone until we sign 3 big men?

[brewcity77]

They aren't, though

Yes they are. Buzz watched him twice last week in person. The HC doesn't watch if there's zero interest.

Not always true.

[wadesworld]

(No kidding.  But don't question Brew's knowledge of Buzz's recruiting)

Committed to USF.

[bilsu]

I expect to lose recruits to Kansas and Louisville, but I do not expect to lose them to USF.

"Lose" might be a poor word to use in a lot of circumstances.

He's from Florida and USF has been recruiting him for a long time.  We just got in the game.  Not really all that surprising.

[MuMark]

He is from Florida and wanted to stay close to home......seems perfectly resonable....

Playing time might be another issue. We are deep at guard. I wouldn't see Holston starting until his junior or even senior year.
