At the end of the day, this proves what any basketball person will say, shooting and defense win games, not 7 footers that lumber around in the paint. In RE's system, you need guys that can run the floor and that will translate to some wins automatically. If these same guys can shoot the ball, then that translates into a bunch of wins. Ron got 4 frosh that can run the floor in this class and 2 of them that can really shoot it - TJ and JJ. It has been and always will be the guard play that determines the better teams in the non-BCS conferences and I feel good about our guards in the future. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

Would you take the Bonnie's center? I would. (NT) -- Irish STH, Monday, July 26, 03:30:01pm
- Just to add in my two cents - a Ron Everhart center is really sort of a PF/Center hybrid. Shawn James really played more like a PF from the 5, he just had the size and hops to be called a center. Not saying yes or no to Nicholson, just sayin'. (NT) -- MFE08, Monday, July 26, 11:12:39pm
  - Good point although I would take Nicholson. From the game I attended, he can run the floor. (NT) -- TMH, Tuesday, July 27, 10:22:02am
- Sure. But he is athletic and can run, tough to find big men that can do what he does. James was pretty close. But there are not many Nicholson's and we would have signed him if it wasn't for Big Mike on the roster. Little did Nicholson know that Mike would not have been much competition.
