Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4291562, member: 9844"] Mostly agree with both of you, but maybe too much is made of how we matchup with one specific team. I agree on paper SC appears to have superior bigs, and that is clearly a problem since they will probably be the top ranked team to start next season. On the other hand we appear to have the edge at guard, and we just don't know how some of our bigs will perform next year. Will the addition of Ice and Ayanna compensate for losing Liv? Maybe who knows. Will Amari become a valuable backup to Dorka? Hopefully, and will we get sophomore Aaliyah or Freshmen Aaliyah. If she returns to freshmen form that will make a big difference. So the play could from our bigs could be better if Amari and Aaliyah improve, and Ayanna and Ice are as good as we hope, or worse if Amari and Aaliyah don't improve, and the freshmen are not ready to contribute. As for the portal it seems to me the C's are not that special, perhaps more likely third string behind Dorka and Amari. At PF, however, there are several candidates that could threaten the playing time of any of our bigs, say like Edwards at Kentucky. Should we go after players like that? I don't know, it might be better to count on our own coming thru. If they do and Aubrey comes back we don't really have a problem with bigs even if we are still short of the team that is the best there in SC. [/QUOTE]
