Buzz 'Bigs'


There's some major mis truths in response to the "Buzz needs to recruit better" post below. Everyone's up in arms against the original poster and trying to intelligently rebut him.

We dont have 'several bigs' on the bench due to injuries and transfer. It's 1. Blackshear. Hamilton was getting 0 minutes vs. Texas AM, Michigan, Nebraska, etc. when he was healthy. He wasn't playing this year for whatever reason. Serious serious doghouse.
Nick Fullard who's sitting out this year is a walk-on and won't play anyway. Practice body. And Seth Leday is another tweener SF/PF even smaller than Zach.

Another mistruth: A couple people were listed out all of Buzz's awesome recruits and listed Bibbs. He's a James Johnson recruit. Also not a big so not sure what the point was.

Has Buzz's recruiting been awesome? Hell yeah. Do we need to ramp it up, especially at C and PF? Yes. I guess we got unlucky with Hamiltons progression and certainly got unlucky with Blackshear's injury, but we need depth here anyway.

I'm not expecting miracles and burger boys but give us something in the post. A Coleman Collins, Check Chiatke(sp), Victor Davila, Montrez before he decommitted when SG left, Jeff Allen,. we've done it before in recent history. Obviously some of the names I just listed are better than others. :)

And Buzz is a better recruiter and we all know this. He'll get our guys. Big guys! (but yes, hurry please. next year would be damn nice)
