[QUOTE="Point-Illinois, post: 1703638, member: 747217"] I don’t think the staff was trying to recruit more centers from the portal after Kofi announced he was coming back. So the point that we couldn’t get anyone due a to playing time shortage is probably moot. Payne was supposed to be developed to be a good backup. Had Kofi not come back, he may have even been expected to be the starter. Though, had Kofi not come back, the staff would have probably been on the lookout for another big man. We’ll never know. Regardless, the dominoes fell how they did, and Payne hasn’t reached his potential yet. (Hope he does!) And because of that, BU owns not having someone who can replace Kofi for long stretches. (Again, as of now, I hope Payne can get there) [/QUOTE]
