With the ACC adding 3 Big East schools you would have to think that recruits will have to look @ BC as a solid option if you want to play in the # 1 college hoops league.
The best part of his video is his aggressiveness. One of the biggest problems most forwards have his not being aggressive enough. Size and athleticism pretty much don't matter if you can play tough and aggressive the entire time (Danya, Craig, Rashod Kent, Rodman, Duds, Artest, Barkley, etc., etc., etc.). He's got suspect height, good strength and great athleticism. If he focuses on staying relentless and constantly moving towards the basket, there is no reason he can be a high ACC player. I don't think he will be much of a shooter, but I think he will be a high effort, scrappy player. I love those types.
I think Owens is a great compliment to what we have returning next year. However, we still NEED to land a PF in THIS CLASS. Don't give me nonsense about 2014 players who won't be interested in us past April. We needed another big last year. Avoiding it two years in a row is simply sticking your head in the sand.
