He can't shoot as well as our wings, but I thought his size and ability to grab rebounds and block shots would have made him a guy who regularly played off the bench. There were multiple reports that he wasn't developing as fast as would be liked in practice (I believe even before Cronin left), so maybe he wouldn't have gotten playing time. But a team that already looked small just lost another one of it's few big men and I can't really that as a positive. |

While it is great to have bigs and I am also concerned with our lack of bigs, Houston did pretty well last year with awful bigs. I think we can survive in this league without many skilled bigs. |

Anyway, I think you might be over valuing the bigs a little. We played our best NCAA tourney with Gates and 4 guys 6'4" or under. When Justin Jackson was a senior we also had Rubles and that was about it. Nyarcuk got less minutes than Diara did last year. We did have Lawrence but that was generally a train wreck. We have plenty of height and options to get the job done. The fact that Hardnett was (perhaps) considered expendable should tell you MOST of what you need to know. Either Brannen didn't see it in him or he saw MORE in other players. This assumes Hardnett was in the portal because of Harvey...which IDK. |

Emergency minutes is about all I can think we would be missing...and we have other options for emergencies. |

Because if Q was less expendable than say Gillam or Diara etc...then perhaps someone else would be in the portal? Initially I though Hardnett would fit okay in an up and down style of ball because he ran PG for 3 years in HS. But apparently coach is looking for a different skill set from his 4 than just being a ball handler. |

Harvey 6 ft 4 in MAW 6 ft 3 in Even compared to Villinova's 14-15 team, UC's starters would be quite small. Most small teams seem to have a lot of guys in the 6'6" to 6'8" range, we have a lot of guys in the 6'3" to 6'5" range. |
