And Trey is just a beast of a man so I'm going to play him all 40 minutes.
Obi has had a couple of very good games to start the year but 1 barely counts above a rec league game and the other team lacked any real threat to his height and reach. Let's not crown him a starter just yet, but who knows what's going on in practice, maybe he's fully solidified there already.

This caveat should apply to everyone on the team. I saw that North Florida beat a DIII team by 50 the other night. I am sure if you looked only at that game, a bunch of their players might have impressed you, yet we know better. I will be really interested to see how good Obi really is, (and Mikesell, and Jordan Davis as a driver, etc...).
