I don't think it's over for Liddell on the switch -- he can recover from behind pretty well. Depends what's behind him to a certain degree too. But as far as Terry goes, I actually like the pick. Not sure it's exactly the positional fit I expected but Terry seems like he'll end up as more of a...

Problem is none of the guys in that 85% are in the NBA. It's all just the top and really just the best of the best. I love Kofi and don't doubt that he'll work his butt off to improve, but he often struggled against the kinds of bigs he'd be matched up with in the NBA (eg, Koloko).

Shaq absolutely has to be on that list. No center besides Russell turned in a string of dominance like Shaq had from 00-02, and of course he had major success well beyond that run. Put up arguably 3 of the 10 greatest Finals performances (as a whole) of all time. There's also only two players in...

Giorgi. Edit: Dang it. Good thinking there @amillini#2

At the very, very, very least, whoever is starting in front of him is going to feel him in practice. Example: Ty's either going to force Coleman to live up to what he could be or he's going to take his spot. Re: the rankings, I think recruiting sites (and draft gurus and so on) always struggle...

Generally dislike Connor and Fran but I gotta admit, Patrick lessened my reflexive dislike of anything ending in "McCaffery" when he tweeted about how ridiculous/absurd the RJ tech was in the Houston game. Believe it was more than once too if memory serves me right. I would without a doubt put...

Lot better than spending 3/4 of the non-con playing Austin Peay and Longwood and E. Tennessee State and so forth. Take it as a compliment. Pretty refreshing to know that the powers at be are inviting us to these types of games even when they know we've had basically the whole roster turnover...

So all we need to do is just sit our critical/injury-prone players for the game after we play OSU and we're good, right? Or is it for the OSU game?

Yeah it looks like something for Oklahoma St. or Oregon St. Nobody ever says "dang I really wish we had jerseys like those Beavers"

I agree with a lot of your post, but I'm not convinced this part about needing a back to the basket big when the game slows down holds up anymore. Even when a game slows down, it's more about whether you can beat guys off the dribble and get to the rim and/or your spots. Having a back to the...

Playing Coleman at the 5 last year meant putting him alongside 6'6" *slim* Jake, 6'3" DMW, 6'1" Plummer or Belo, and 6'1" Frazier. Of course that didn't work and we didn't use that look. It took a bit for things to click but Iowa went on a hell of a run with the biggest rotation guy being 6'9"...

I think playing with Hawk as a center would be concerning if the rest of our lineup looked like this past year's 1-4, ie, we were small all over the court. Playing Hawk at center alongside Mayer/RJ/TSJ/Ty/Goode has me far less concerned. I reference this all the time but Arkansas from two years...

Wasn't there some scuttlebutt a few months back that Coleman actually likes playing center? Think maybe his dad said something to that extent on twitter (also possible this is just a story I made up in my head to make me feel good about Kofi leaving)
