It's very easy to rationalize not having a big when you don't have one. it's like the guy that gets shot down by a few 9's before getting a 5 to go with him to prom. I don't like going into a season knowing we have nobody(again) to stop a Justin Tillman type. Josh proved he couldn't last year. Maybe small ball works, maybe it doesn't, but raise your hand if you feel we can contain Ethan Happ in 5 months.........still waiting. Im firmly in the camp that desires a big man or two. Whats wrong with that? Wanting a big man is every bit as sane as wanting small ball to work. This team as currently constructed has no depth behind Crutcher, before you say Cohill remember Darrell was billed as a "combo" guard. No meat behind Josh who gets in foul trouble early and often. Mark my words, i hope im wrong but i don't see us making the NCAA as constructed. It will be an improved team, a more cohesive team a more FUN team, but we will be exposed.
