WHich is the size of Carver (listed) and Ezikpe. Reece is taller, but skinny. How many CUSA teams have an actual legitimate backup center?

My aspirations for ODU aren't limited to merely being competitive in CUSA, losing out in the tournament, then going home till next season. In order to do better than that and not have all your hopes tied up in winning the conference tournament, ODU will have to do well against teams not in CUSA to build a resume. It isn't all about who is in CUSA and hoping ODU has enough size to match up in Jeff's man-to-man.

Most of the guys you listed are going to be true freshmen next season and on top of that, forward is their natural position. Besides that even Carver is only 6'-7" and a natural forward at that.

Sorry you don't see the importance of the two new centers Jeff just brought in. Apparently Jeff as well as several posters on this board see it.

Let me ask you a straight up question. Hypothetically, assume Dickens sits out this season and Robinson is lost for the year after the 2nd game of the season to injury. Without beating around the bush and doing some double talk .....

* Give us your prediction on what ODU's conference record would end up being, and where ODU would finish in CUSA - i.e. 1st, 2nd, etc.

* Tell us what post season tournament you think ODU would end up playing in.
