Reddic

by earlbadu on Mar 21, 2010 9:42 PM EDT

Starting to think about the future already. According to ESPN, Juvonte Reddic has committed to VCU. Not sure how interested the Terps still were in him, but now Eric McKnight now seems like the only legit potential commit now still out there.

I still maintain that we need to add another big this year to complement Williams. Gregory, Padgett, and Pankey run from OK to unknown, but none of them are leapers. We haven't had a leaper at the 4 since Gist, and that hurts us on offense, blocking shots, and rebounding. I don't know if McKnight is that guy or not, but I hope we had someone.

i just don't think he thinks that reddic or mcknight

are any better than the guys we already have in the stable or else i think you would have seen us push there….especially on mcknight’s front as he was really interested

I think your right

more then likey done for this year. But you never know, I keep thinking about a JUCO.

i don't think there's many good ones out there

frankly i like our class and our options for 2011….a JUCO big isn’t going to be better than pankey at this point so why bother?

I like the class also

and I spent some time this morning looking at JUCO big wings. I don,t see any so maybe we are done. Stogs, Parker, Pankey need to come in and learn tough D. If they pick it up quick, we will be ok next year. Pe" looks good on D from what I can see. Not sure about Hawk and his defense.

I'd definitely use another scholarship on a big for this year

We’re gonna need to have someone besides Dino and Williams next year and beyond Padgett, there is no one else. We have not addressed our need for a big yet in this class and would hope that we can convince Eric McKnight to come and fill that void for us. Pankey could be that guy, but he’s been hurt all year and I don’t think that bodes well for his playing time next year.

It’s never bad to have 4-6 big men. If we had been deeper in the front we would prob. be in the Sweet 16 right now. And remember, if things had gone according to plan, we’d have Braxton and Burney next year… so it’s not like Gary didn’t want more guys beyond what we currently have.
