One of the things that many, many coaches told me in their respective sports back when I was a sport writer is you can never have enough pitching, cornerbacks and bigs. I adopted that theory many many years ago. I do believe it proves out. Pertaining to hoops, bigs get in foul trouble. They can get hurt. Their presence greatly determines how the defense guards our perimeter players. Their presence, or the lack of it, determines how many guys we need to send to the boards. It determines how aggressively we can defend the post and challenge shots at the rim. How many times, when he had four fouls late in games, did Sylvester Ogbonda have to back off when the ball was dumped down low and cede a basket? Looking back, not having quality depth behind Ogbonda could have cost us a handful of games past this season. So I'm elated when we have quality depth at that position. It also allows the likes of Nolan Foster and Nate Springs to develop without having to be forcefed.

Maybe he can take the next pretty sizable step to playing significant minutes. Or maybe he'd be better off redshirting. With Preston and Vander Plas entering their junior seasons, I do believe coach Boals is going to fortify the pivot position further.

The Browns are the only players on the roster under 6'3". Lots of opportunities for mismatches and post-ups.

A week ago when we still had Springs and thought Wilson would be immediately eligible, we were a whole lot bigger. We have a bunch of tall guys, but do we have BIGMANZ? If you play with pace, you can overcome that. Our best team of the last 40 years started a 6'7'' 190 pound center, after all. Furthermore, I don't see one decent 6-10+ player in the entire MAC next year.

Yes, the press release said he has to sit out. The NCAA has thrown out the idea of allowing one-time transfers without having to sit out a year (which is allowed in most sports, but not basketball, football, baseball and hockey). I think that could be where some believe it's possible he might be eligible, but I think that's a long way from happening.

Furthermore, I don't see one decent 6-10+ player in the entire MAC next year. Obviously, I agree with this, because I've always been the proponent of having players that can play versus having players that are big, but maybe not as good. That said, assuming everyone is healthy, there are plenty of options to choose from, and I think plenty of talent to put together a nice rotation of 8-9 guys out of the 12 that look to be available for the upcoming season. The bigger need to me all along has been to replace the reliable perimeter shooting, and the ability to make 3's in bunches that Dartis provided. Without knowing what the frosh can do, that will fall on McDay, or Roderick, or Preston. Assuming the jump from freshman year to sophomore year holds true, I'm comfortable that will happen. Those three plus BVP are an exciting group. Fill in a little depth behind them...(I'm grinning at the thought). But there are still unknowns - specifically, what will the coaches get out of Granger, White, Towns, and Miguel? Obviously, they'll need noticeable contributions from 2 of the 4 to have quality depth. Lastly, the only big that could cause problems might be Mballa at UB. Otherwise, I can't think of anyone returning or arriving that is a big threat.

What leads you to think they would redshirt a healthy sophomore who played in most games a year ago? I agree with FearLeon. If Wilson is immediately eligible there are almost zero minutes available for Foster unless he makes a huge jump in strength & quickness which is made more difficult in these times. That assumes Miguel transitions well from JUCO but I think we have to make that assumption or Boals wouldn't have brought him in. If disaster strikes you insert him of course but I don't see any value of him averaging a couple minutes a game his sophomore year when he could develop into a major contributor down the road.

If not, it does no harm to let him sit and get stronger, with three years left to play. When I stated that I truly believe coach Boals will bring in another big, most likely a grad student who can really help us, I was aware we were out of scholarships. It will work itself out. It usually does.

If Wilson and Miguel are both playing, I think you have the mindset that Foster will redshirt...but obviously he's an insurance policy if one of these guys goes down and you take the redshirt off. I just don't see the benefit of burning Foster's redshirt to play minimum minutes his sophomore year. I'm in line with this thought as well. "If" Wilson is a go, the split between he and Miguel will be relatively even depending on which one has the hot hand or defensive match-up on any given night. I would expect close to a double double at the 5 between those two every game. Foster would be the odd man out, but that isn't a bad thing for his future impact with the Cats.

Just my personal opinion, but given the propensity for players to transfer, you redshirt someone who is healthy as a sophomore, there's at best a 50/50 chance he stays in Athens.

If they aren't playing meaningful minutes why does it matter? Because some seem to think that redshirting him is a forgone conclusion if Wilson is eligible, and that he's not going to be capable of meaningful minutes. If he's capable, and you redshirt him, you lose a guy you put two years into. Of course all of this is one big assumption. Who knows, maybe he proves to be better than the two transfers? Ya never know.
