[QUOTE="blmillini, post: 1175922, member: 6575"] Hill is not a good defender, Mav is a terrible defender, Black is not a good defender, and Nunn is decent but still needs help as he over-commits often. Nnanna didn't get nearly as much credit as he should have for making up for all those deficiencies. Granted, it helped that Rice was pretty good and Abrams in previous years as well. I don't expect Freshmen to be very good at the beginning of the year but you often see them get much better by the end of their first year. That has not typically been true with Groce and his staff. With our recent history I don't expect our current Freshmen to start playing adequate defense until our Juniors are gone, if ever. [/QUOTE]
