In reply to: Jules 's message, "With all the hype suddenly surrounding the two giants; I doubt that Duquesne is on their list; not sure how Daryn feels about the Duquesne program anyway; might not be as helpful as one might think. In general I would still prefer smaller but quicker big men; these types tend to require a much slower style of play." on Thursday, July 22, 04:52:45pm

Gonna need an answer for Kevin Noreen, if nothing else. (NT) -- El Duque, Thursday, July 22, 06:45:35pm
okay Alan, I'm open to hearing how these two fit in with TJ McConnell. (NT) -- Slim, Thursday, July 22, 09:58:59pm
- OK. Rebound. Outlet to TJ. TJ pushes. #-pt shot at line in transition, or TJ drives to bucket, scores and gets fouled. Traditional 3 pt. Scenarion B: Blocked shot. OutlTJ pushes. #-pt shot at line in transition, or TJ drives to bucket, scores and gets fouled. Traditional 3 pt. basket. Remember Majic, Norm and wilkes pressing the ball; Rambis mid-dourt to Follow a miss and KAJ watching from the other end? (NT) -- Purduke, Thursday, July 22, 10:26:32pm
  - yeah...cause that's exactly the way it happened with Mike Williams... (NT) -- Slim, Friday, July 23, 06:12:20am
  - By the time either of these two would be ready to contribute, TJ will be playing in Europe. (NT) -- duq81, Friday, July 23, 06:28:24am
- In transition, they would be a liability although I'm not sure you need 5 guys in transition. In the half court, TJ would certainly find a way to get the ball to them inside. (NT) -- TMH, Thursday, July 22, 10:42:33pm
- you're right. let's pass on these chaps and let an ACC school scoop up our dregs. Again, i don't think we're anywhere near being picky about which 7 footers we don't want. (NT) -- Alan, Friday, July 23, 01:22:43am
  - These guys are projects. Bigger schools with bigger recruiting pools can afford to eat a couple of projects that don't pan out. My feeling all along on these two is to watch and see how they develop, but don't fall in love with their size; there are plenty of 7-foot stiffs. (NT) -- Slim, Friday, July 23, 06:15:49am
    - Sometimes I think: If you can just teach the guy where to be in the paint, with his arms in the air, he will alter a lot of shots and at least make a difference defensively. Of course, there is an answer to this too� jump over the guy (Click here). (NT) -- El Duque, Friday, July 23, 01:42:49pm
      - NICE, ED. (NT) -- Alan, Friday, July 23, 05:30:18pm
    - I dunno, when I was little, it sure was hard to shoot a basket on the right side of the playground due an overgrown and unpruned tree. No matter the angle, the shot just wouldn't go in. Just saying... (NT) -- P of P, Friday, July 23, 03:38:22pm
      - P.S Wonder how good these two guys would be at wrestling bears? (NT) -- P Of P, Friday, July 23, 03:42:35pm
    - Slim, I doubt we have any chance to get him, way too many BCS schools all over him. To your point about waiting on offering prospect, we are not at a point as a program yet where we can wait and offer at the last minute. Someone posted, and I agree, being able to offer early while it is risky is a way to get jump on a prospect before they see the lights on broadway. (NT) -- CLK, Friday, July 23, 08:36:01pm
      - I get that...with these two though I think it would be wiser to express "interest" but not offer at this point...too much risk. (NT) -- Slim, Saturday, July 24, 04:01:04am
