Wait... Sam Dingba only has America East offers but has already told Don "thanks but no thanks"? Our recruiting is more fucked than I could've predicted. Maybe its because we allocated all our recruiting resources to Vonleh.
He's pretty good though. He's getting good looks, lacks notable offers as of now though. But to say he is the answer to our rebounding issues is ludicrous. BC need someone at least 6'8 if they don't have legit offers.
Seriously? The two inches is what makes a rebounder among players with bad offers? This is a special kind of stupid.
You are such a friggin idiot. Wanna know why ACC teams don't recruit 6'6 PF's? Because it doesn't work.
It's getting pathetic when your desperately flailing to find reasons to support your claim. A real man knows when he's talking bullshit. Just admit what you said was stupid. FYI, Craig Smith is 6'6.
Craig Smith was not 6'6'' in college. I am 6'5'' and Craig Smith was shorter than me. I don't need a reason to support my claim other than having stood in his proximity.
You continue to ignore the fact that the real point is that height does not equal good rebounding. Ties back to the other retarded point from last week about how putting 20 pounds on Eddie Odio is going to turn him into Dennis Rodman.
While relative shortness doesn't automatically equate to bad rebounding, there are exponentially more examples of good rebounders who are more prototypically sized for their position. It is interesting that guys like Barkley and Rodman (Mutumbo, Shaq, Wallace, Duncan as counter examples) were able to be so successful despite their stature, but does not change the fact that while height does not equal good rebounding it is probably a benefit:
