In reality, Lee didn't do much his freshman year. I expect more out of both of our freshmen bigs.

I'm so glad that you weren't the coach of ODU. Blaine certainly liked Gerald Lee enough as a Freshman to play him off the bench 15-20 minutes per game in spite of having a solid core of upper classmen ahead of him. I'll say right now that I would like it a lot if Kalu & Reece play as good as Gerald did when he was a freshman if they too are coming off the bench and playing 15-20 minutes each per game. If one or both end up starting then I will expect them to contribute more than Lee did for reasons that I gave earlier.

Since you have responded 3 or 4 times now without answering the question I have asked, I'll take that to mean that you realize the wildness of your statement "They're the two (Kalu & Reece) most skilled freshmen big men we've recruited since Alex Loughton", and don't want to dig the hole you are in any deeper. Fact is, it remains to be seen if BOTH of them are better this season, more skilled, etc. than Gerald was as a freshman.

Gerald was a point center/power forward on occasion who could post up on either block, shoot FT’s and knock down mid range shots.

To make the assertion he just did without ever having seen either player play a single minute of basketball in person is just absolutely ridiculous.

Of course actually seeing them in person wouldn’t change anything either as he said Sam Harris was going to be all caa after a blue white game because he “looked amazing” to him.

Just take his ridiculousness over the top prognostications with the massive grain of salt they require.
