I hear you. But on the other hand we had two of our best seasons ever (23 and 26) with a below the rim big. I think it's fair to say it isn't a requirement in our system even if it's nice to have.

Let's not pretend like Hawkins has played well.

Sure. And why would we not stock up on the best talent we can even if it hurts someone's feelings?

Nah. No more nepotism. Best man for the job whoever it may be, alumni or not.

If County is afraid of competition he wasn't right for UConn anyways.

I'm 100% sure we're going to pursue an uber-talented big in the portal. This board doesn't like to hear it, but Reibe hasn't shown he's got starter talent in months. Probably not a guy like Bidunga, but some high potential guy like Tarris who needs a fire lit under his bum. Our staff isn't going...

He had an underwhelming senior year of high school. November/December showed that he is capable. But he can't be a guy where a little bit of physicality takes him out of the game completely. This summer needs to be a BIG one for him or he's on the outside looking in.

Not particularly concerned about the offense. He can't rebound at the level needed for a Final Four starting-caliber big.

A genuinely incredible tournament performance. Remember when his reputation was he lacked focus, soft, low BBIQ when he left Michigan? THIS is what happens when a kid dives in headfirst and gives 100% to getting better under this staff. 19.5 PPG 13.2 RPG 2.0 APG 1.7 TO 1.2 STL 1.5 BLK 2.7 PF...

We added Reed with Samson. We added Clingan with Sanogo. We will add another top-tier big in the portal. Whether or not Reibe was an All-American is currently meaningless. If we head into next season with him penciled as a starting center, something has gone very wrong. We need a...

Not sure his skillset really fits any more

Reibe has shown this tournament he isn't ready for the big time.

Pass. We need a starting caliber big

I am completely unconvinced a former pro coach can navigate college basketball recruiting. I know NIL has changed things into more of a pro model, but it's still very different.

I want Arizona again. Payback
