You don't understand the difference between 6'9" 238 pound Sam Miller and a stud center?? Really??
Sam has 11 blocks so far this year, XW has 25 blocks while averaging 22 minutes per game.
Meanwhile, Steve finished his freshman year with 55 blocks in 18 minutes per game. He holds the single game record for blocked shots (6), holds the single season record for blocks, and had he not died he would already. . . through 20 games as a sophomore . . . rank in the top 10 all-time shot blockers at UD. #9 on that list is 70 career blocks (KW and Huelsman). He destroyed the single season blocks per game mark held by Erv Giddings, 1.70 to 1.55.

Try to stay on topic. The discussion was as to why we are not a Top 25 team. I maintain that the loss of Steve and Josh have taken us below that because the three sophomores are not players at a Top 25 level. Another poster said those three are outstanding. I disagreed. Those three are nice players, but not outstanding, or we would be a much better team, and ranked?
It amazes me that we always want to get to the next level, and Top 10 ratings and a Final Four, and yet we think most of our players are at that level. The six frosh-jr's are not at that level.
