7 footer?

[ISU_phoria]

It's gotta be Pelle. Still happy with this year, but look at next years lineup if Pelle comes (though it's still solid without him)Lucious - great ball handler, passer, and finisherBabb - lockdown defenderClyburn - One of the top shooters in the nation and able to make the play as wellWhite - Duh, everything.Pelle - Anything down low he will make or block

There's no way Ejim doesn't start next year. A freshman, even at 7ft would not change that.

Yeah, Ejim does way too much on both sides of the ball to keep him out of the starting lineup, and he'll only be better next year.

I would agree that it's not a foregone conclusion by any means but he's certainly not so good that he's irreplaceable. He's solid but really an overachiever based on his position. From the videos that I saw of Pelle, he could very well unseat Ejim by the midway point if not sooner.

Let me add that a 7 ft C and Ejim could easily coexist because if we're trying to run and play small, Ejim is in there and if we're trying to play big and solid post D, you have a 7 ft center. 7 footers usually aren't ready to play much more than 20 min/game their first year anyway.

The odd men out in that scenario would be Booker and Railey, IMO.

I watched the videos too. Pelle looks very talented, but we're comparing HS highlights to a guy is close to a regular double double guy in the Big XII.

I would also disagree that Ejim can be replaced. He is too valuable to be that easily dismissed.

Its not Nerlens Noel as he is down too Kentucky, Syracuse and Georgetown..

Is it Phillip Nolan from Wisconsin that Iowa State is recruiting?

yeah but he should have came out next year. he got an extra year at prep school so when he gets to college he would Pretty much be a RS freshman or sophomore in terms of experience. And sry to say this cuz I love ejim, BUT pelle is a athletic, 7 foot defensive force In the middle. At some point he would take over the center spot. Ejim is a undersized 4. But ejim would still get over 20 mins a game anyway and i think he would be even better off the bench.

I'll going to assume Pelle is looking for the best $chool to play for. Im also going to assume we dont offer that kind of $cholly.

I think your "S" key is broken.

Royce isn't going anywhere.

I predict we'll have a poll soon (surprised it hasn't happened yet) Will Royce stay or go?

I don't think he'll go, don't think he should go yet, but I wouldn't be shocked if he did.

Never heard of Adam Woodbury have you?

I don't think Woodbury would be playing 20 minutes/game if he was going to a more powerful school though. Don't get me wrong, great player. But from the few games I've seen him play he gets tired easily. And it's nothing against him, but when you're 7 feet tall, you've got to have some serious stamina going into college games. He's going to be up against some big, big guys in college.

Just needs to either STOP shooting 3's or at least improve..... I know he has been decent but come on 80% that he misses are ugly......

He hit a big one last night. His percentage surely dropped quite a bit this year, so hopefully he is making that (and scoring off the dribble) a focus of his off season. His play was key to our success this year, and I can't wait to see how he continues to develop.

Of course you don't buy it....but coach cal certainly will.
