Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4046215, member: 9844"] I think the interesting thing about racking your brain to answer this question is the realization of how few real bruiser wide body type players we have had over the years, considering Uconn's overall success. I suspect some of that is because our bigs are relatively skilled, expected to be able to run the floor well, and are also expected to be good passers and facilitators in the offense. A low post one dimensional banger type that is a black hole on offense, trying to use their bulk to power in for fairly close shots every time they get the ball is generally not recruited here. Some can combine those low post physical skills with other basketball skills and be a well rounded team player (Boston at SC comes to mind), but those players are pretty rare. [/QUOTE]
