Message: [QUOTE="Mooch82, post: 3484342, member: 736"] We looking to find the next Sam Perkins with this scholarship? Guys, this dude is a strong, space eater and terrific rebounder. We struggled badly with strength last year (see Igbanu from Tulsa)...he would help us immensely there. Even BY's favorite son Whaley was dominated by Igbanu, and the hope is that Carlton slims down even further next season. Springs or Brown-Ferguson won't help next year in this regard either. He doesn't need to be a superstar for us. If he can be a 20 mpg type guy and get in the 4/5 mix with Carlton, Whaley, and Springs, we'll be in solid shape down low. Add in Akok when he comes back and we're very deep. I don't think Brown-Ferguson should redshirt in this day and age, but I look at next year as mostly a developmental year for him. Perfect roster for me at this juncture would be.... PG - Cole, Gaffney SG - Bouknight, Adams SF - Nolley, Jackson, (Polley) PF - Marfo, Springs, (Akok) C- Whaley, Carlton, Brown-Ferguson Extremely talented and dangerous team especially once Polley and Akok are back fully healthy. Polley could very well be back 100% by the start of the season. The biggest challenge here would be defining roles and the players buying into them, but that's Hurley's job. The cream will rise to the top and the internal competition should make the team better. [/QUOTE]
