Against Central CT Akinjo was out of control, took some bad shots, and was as sloppy with the ball as Gilbert was in the last couple minutes of the Morehead State game.  Didn't see Illinois.  Confident they will both have great games.  I wanted Akinjo but I do feel he has been 'replaced'.  I thought Kisunas played great against North Carolina in the minutes I saw channel flipping.  I have watched him a number of times at Brewster and posted my evaluation that he was an adequate rotation player but not the impact scoring player in the front court that we needed.  On the other hand, he looks like he has added weight and power and will give Stanford everything that Jake Voskuhl gave us.  His basket was running the floor on the break.  Stats don't show it, but he conducted himself against UNC like he owned the defensive paint.  UNC.  Some rebounds went to teammates because he was keeping UNC rebounders off the glass.  You need impact players around him but we did not 'replace' him for this year and he might have been just the power low post player this year's team needs, and the rotation player when our front court stars commit.  Plus, he would still be here if our potential 5 stars move on to nba careers early.
