I have been an ODU fan since Mark West was manning the paint and I can't remember a time when ODU was so depleted size wise. If we don't get a couple servicable big guys who can contribute we won't be dancing anytime soon IMO.

Stith, Stith, Porter, Pinckney, Arledge were all transfers.

How are we depleted with big men? Porter, Stith, Carver, Kah. Itnwould be nuce to add to that, but I would hardly call it depleted. A lot of the teams we play in conference dont have anywhere near the size/length/wingspan of Porter and Stith. If anything teams are going to try to expose our size if we play Porter and Stith together by putting out a shooter at the 4.

Stitch and Porter aren't centers, Carver isn't even big, and JJ won't play Kah.

Ok then. What centers are in Conf USA ans what are the requirements for being called a center? Who is Oregons center? Villanova? Duke? etc

A 6'7" center is a weakness, especially when you play our style and the center struggles making FTs and layups. You can mitigate that weakness by running and playing a 40 minutes of hell type defense or a faster offense or the 6'7" center being able to shoot from 10 ft out. Watched Oregon last night and their center is a beast that almost had a triple double. Not sure how tall he is, but he is a lot more skilled than anyone we have ever had to include the likes of greats like Frank Hassell. Didn't watch much Duke or Villanova this year. Playing the way we play we need to look more like a Purdue.

Unsurprisingly, you didnt answer any of my questions. You want us to play like Purdue, who has 7 footers?
