Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 5173906, member: 9844"] Let me elaborate a bit. I did mean there are several teams, at least over the last few years, that have had 4-5 high quality bigs, but your definition of high quality might be different from mine. I could see an argument against Walker and Tac, but to me Dauda, Gardiner, and certainly Dugalic would easily meet the high quality big definition. Regardless let me give a few examples of what I meant. Using this year's SC team you have Edwards, Kitts, Feagan, Watkins (injured), Dauda, Walker and Tac. Dauda was a player some wanted us to pursue in the portal, Walker was a JC All American, and Tac was a pretty high recruit we had some interest in as well. Even if you don't include any of those three that is a very good foursome. The 22/23 SC team had Boston, Cardosa, Saxton, Feagin, Watkins and Kitts, and I didn't even include Amihere who at 6-4 could play the 4 but often was on the wing. Another might be the 22/23 Stanford team with Brink, Betts, Iriafen, Belbi who can and did dunk in games, and a 6-5 C in Prechtel that could shoots 3's, and of course Haley Jones could also play the 4 if she needed to. Both of those teams had a 6-7 future All American level backup C, behind another even better C. Our last championship team had 5 high level bigs. Behind Stewie and Tuck we had the best player on the French Silver medalist team in Gabby, who played the 4 for us, the WNBA's second place player in the MVP race in Pheesa, and a player in Natalie Butler who after transferring merely led the nation in rebounding her final season. It's rare to get that much talent for the two big positions, but when a team can pull it off, they will certainly be among the very top contenders and with our injury history trying to get at least 4 and ideally 5, should be a consistent goal even if it is difficult to achieve IMO.
