[QUOTE="OrangeNBrood, post: 1587227, member: 6152"] Ain't nobody neutralizing Kofi from the jump. And not from the bunny hop, the pole vault, or anything in between. Ain't nobody neutralizing Kofi. Especially not no freshman. You suggesting that makes me feel like you might need Jesus. Dickinson has some technical polish, some size, and a motor, but he's not nearly as physical as Kofi. Cockburn has been eating up quality Big Ten big men all year - guys like Trayce JD and Luka Garza who are more experienced and substantially more developed than the Wolverine freshman. And, if you haven't noticed, Kofi's gotten measurably better in terms of technical skill and imposing his will on the other team, as the season has progressed. In fact, establishing Kofi early on in order to wear Dickinson down and pin a few fouls on him is probably the move, as far as game plan goes. Michigan is definitely good, but a lot of that game was about Wisconsin having a plodding, pre-modern *** offense run by a group of largely unathletic players - they struggle to create good shots against any team with decent athleticism and cohesion on defense. 90% of their players belong in the black and white television era - both in terms of the way they play and the way they look - and we made them look equally as bad as a result of the same factors.
