Think back on them - Gary Cooper, Danny Davis, Brian Rowsom, Matt Fish, Vlad Kuljanin(sp?), Craig Callahan, Devontae Cacock - all started slow but came on to do very well for us. At our level it takes at least one year sometimes more for a big to develop. If he was capable of dominating as a freshman he'd most likely be at a bigger program.

Cacock was better than Gettys when he was a Freshman. It was obvious to anyone with eyes. I could never understand why Keatts was playing Gettys in front of him and had Ogbodo on the bench. Also, although he's 6'9" I don't see Elmore as a "big man". His game is outside for the most part although he has an inside game. If it weren't for our four guard lineup last year, Elmore could have been a stretch 4 and I know he would have knocked down shots with a decent amount of PT. He can flat out shoot. The problem is we need a true center to compliment Elmore, and we really don't have one(unless the new guy is good), because Elmore is going to be shooting outside and not rebounding inside.
