Why the comparison between the two players? One is a wing player who is 6' 3", the other is a 6' 7" PF/Wing. Osei is a hard-working guy who improved greatly in the off-season by working very hard on improving his shot and more in the off-season. We could have used him to improve our depth. Binns has played a total of two months of college basketball after recovering from a disc problem(no small deal - an injury that heals gradually) and showed flashes of having talent and skills that will help us down the line. I expect him to work hard in the off-season to improve, as Osei did last summer, and come back in the Fall as a better player. Both players will contribute in their own ways in future seasons. But comparing them as players is like comparing apples and oranges. Everyone should give Binns a break and let him develop. He's coming back from a serious injury. Remember Al McGuire's famous line: "The best thing about freshman is they become sophomores". -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

The presence of Bethel and Evertson makes this a moot point for discussion. Binns will certainly compete for PT but Osei will drop to about 9th -11th guy on depth chart. (NT) -- digger, Mon March 14, 2005 23:23:15
