[QUOTE="Deleted member 631370, post: 1359327"] Yeah, it really comes down to lack of talent or legitimate depth in the front court. Ebo and Vesel aren't even remotely ready for B1G competition, so we're going into this with a 6'7 guy in Black, and a 6'10 guy who struggles mightily to perform traditional post functions. That is going to destroy this team in the end. There's no way around it. Recruiting will have to be our salvation for next year and beyond. Granted, i've seen nothing to suggest it'll happen. But Black has the option of transferring next year and going almost anywhere he wants for a year. The kid hasn't played in a single NCAA tournament -- gotta hope that he doesn't want a change of scenery next year, because we would be utterly screwed next season. [/QUOTE]
