Anyone else thing as much as Trice has been here and that Underwood has visited that we're just waiting to see if Leron goes before we accept his commitment? Trice is not going to be able to guard 7'1" guys in the Big Ten. That's a half a foot difference. That's like putting a 6' guard on a 6'6" wing. It'll be the same thing as this year, him picking up bad fouls because there's literally no way to guard that height difference down low.
There are certainly guys that he wouldn't be able to defend, just like there are guys that no one currently on our team could defend. He plays bigger than anyone currently on our team. An elite rebounder. Has some length and is a good athlete.
If he was a perfect fit, I think we would have accepted his commitment already.
He has not demonstrated the skills necessary to play the 4 in BU's offense (wing skills), but Black had not really shown that ability before this year either.
I agree that he is more likely to fit if Black does not return, but Black played many minutes at the 5 this year and even Kipper did. Trice is certainly an upgrade to either at the 5 from a defense and rebounding perspective.
