Agreed.
But that's not what that old thread was about.
That discussion was about was the type of true bigs Memphis rarely seems to land but certain big 10 and big 12 schools land consistently. We're talking about 6-10ish types out of HS who are...
A- top 100 recruits
B- known for their low post skill set
C- within the last 20 years
So scratch Vaughn (23 years ago) and Taggert (a transfer). Garcia had a perimeter game, not a post game. Scratch him too.
Ren and Wise were the two I mentioned as having those type of skills, Though Wise was not considered a top 100 recruit coming out of HS. So we basically landed 2 of those guys in 20 years...... Ren and Woodson. BTW- its been 20 years now on Ren as well. His freshman season was 1994-95.
Most posters agreed with that. Saluki was the only poster who seemed to have a problem with that thread.
Nearly a year later, its STILL on his mind.
Every time he brings it up, he lies about what was said. His latest flame attempt.....
"Well, you did claim Woodson to be the most offensively skilled big Memphis will have had in nearly two decades."
No such thing was ever said. We've had several bigs with more offensive skills than Woodson such as Massie, Omar Sneed, Austin Nichols, Angel Garcia. They just weren't the type of classic 6-10 bigs we were discussing.
