[QUOTE="ElGran, post: 1673234, member: 748193"] 100% agree. No better evidence than Baylor last year, who steamrolled a great Gonzaga team for the Natl Title. Their Center was a guy who defended and rebounded and occasionally scored. I'd love to replace Kofi with another inside beast who can give us 18 points and 10 rebounds a game. But it's unlikely to happen and it's not necessary to win a Natl Championship. For next year, I'm much more worried about our guards. If Belo leaves, our backcourt would be Epps, Harris, and Podz. Can't see us being a top 20 team with only those three guards (and I like the potential of all three). You have 13 scholarships to give -- IMO five of them need to be pure guards (and not wings who can "help out" in an emergency). Again, I'm not saying a don't want to pick up a 5 star 6'11 beast center. Maybe it will happen. [/QUOTE]
