You omitted the fact that he was injured for a portion of his freshman year. He could not practice. No surprise that it took his freshman year to figure things out.
When you called him a "rebounding fool", and said you "can't recall a wing-type player with his rebounding ability", that seemed like hyperbole so I gave you his last ten games' stats as a sophomore. Other than the one game with 16 rebounds his stats are not out of the ordinary.
However, if he's a typical recent Villanova player he'll get better each year and that's the type player I'm hoping Hurley focuses on. To me, we'd have been way better off going after Wahab or someone like him rather than chasing a guy like Cockburn who supposedly features himself as a one and one. Same with Precious. Build a team of three and four year guys with maybe an occasional Caron Butler that stays two years.
We are not likely to be the destination for enough true ones and dones like Duke and Kentucky and if that's the case, getting one here and there just doesn't allow us to build a lasting championship caliber team loaded with players in all four classes developing and growing each year. That, at least to me, seems our only path to lasting greatness. Tennessee has no top 100 recruits and look how well they've developed. That's my mantra and I'm sticking to it.
