Why does a former big need to coach a big? That's a clown thought bro. You just have to know what to do and how to communicate and motivate. Any good coach can do that.
You think Belichick doesn't know how to coach wide receivers given that he damn well didn't play the position?
Really, Belichick?....is that how far up you have to go to make a point? Ollie is no Belichick just for starters.
Maybe try it this way. I'm a 4* recruit on UCONN's list. I'm a 6'10" kid, post player. I ask who is going to coach me, and what game experience this person has in the paint?/post?
I think the 2nd part of that is opposing schools using it against them, where it is applicable ( I do realize some schools are just like UCONN have no former big's on the staff).
The last 2 years we graduated or lost:
Nolan never developed
Brimah never developed
Facey developed for about 12 games, then when opponents realized he was starting to become a threat, the double team's came, and that was it for him, because he couldn't recognize what to do quick enough
Enoch never developed, but in fairness, didn't get much opportunity to, and is gone now
Durham no opportunity, and gone now.
My point is, of all the big's Ollie has recruited, I don't see it working, or addressed.
