We have Lubin and Facey and a chance for DD to come back. I think we need a center more than anything. We could use one that plays offense and we need minutes that TO ate up.

Not saying we don't need a center, but between Phil and Brimah, I'm pretty sure they can eat up TO's 8mpg. Brimah should stay on the floor longer (less fouls) and definitely be improved offensively.

I feel confident that Nolan will develop as Hilton did, hitting his stride as a senior, and a senore.

Nolan needs to work with Matt Balis and his game will improve dramatically. If he was able to finish better, he would have had 10+ against uk. He has to get stronger.

More than strength, Phil needed the poise at those moments to put up a shot fake and then put the ball in the basket. One of the times he could have gone under the basked to the other side and used the rim to screen the defender. Deandre did this and got the ball in the basket when surrounded by defenders.

Phil Nolan came a long way this year and without him, we might not have gotten past MSU. Having said that, let's hope he can gain weight and get stronger too.

I like Phil and love Amida, but I still think that if you look were we most need help, it is at center. The numbers are pretty revealing.

One thing I don't want is one and dones or two and dones. I hope we go for guys that will be here 3 or 4 years. Guys who we can develop, great character guys.

I think it's O.K. to have one or two one and dones or preferably two and dones but I'd like to have very good upperclassmen who are the leaders of the team. For example in 2004 Villanueva was a freshman who ended up being two and done but played an important role off the bench because he was a talented player. But the leaders of that team were obviously Emeka and Ben.

Cassell can be a primary ballhandler. He had multiple games of 10 assists this year and more with 7+ assists
