We just need to get used to the fact that talent in this sport is growing and will be widely spread.  No senior on UCONN was a 1st round pick.  Some years , we will have a 1st round pick. Some years, we won’t.

When it comes to the bigs, I neither blame the coach for not developing them or the players for any lack of interest or effort.  Some evolve to be dominant post players who can score while being tightly guarded and fighters who refuse to be out rebounded. Some don’t.

Anything is possible but it’s likely that we won’t find a big who meets the above qualification in the portal.  Might be better to look for forwards who can bang the boards and, as a group, can control the paint against the bigger, stronger teams.

We don’t need a super star. We just need a big who the defense needs to take seriously when they are in the paint. And, I would think about changing the offensive scheme that has both our bigs out by the 3 point line setting screens.  The reason SC stuffed our guards was because they had nowhere to go because their bigs were able to follow ours out there and help clog things up.  Things would have opened up for our guards if our post players actually played the post.
