No I agree that is not a good plan. My point was comparing him to Taylor as a viable transfer big. Paul is both taller and heavier.

It is extra tough for schools like W&M to recruit quality big men due to a shortage of supply most go to P5 schools. That is one reason so many schools at our level have outside oriented teams. I was quite impressed when we had 3 quality bigs on our roster a short time ago. The staff does a great job recruiting. My comment earlier about Pierce in the high post was aimed at the possibility that we would not get another big and we would need to play a high set opening up back door cuts. I’ve been impressed with how Austin has helped bigs progress and with what Harrison has brought this year. What ever happens next year in this regard I trust the staff to make the best of it. For the resources we have they do an outstanding job. I also trust that the new AD will expand the resources that they are given.
