So as far as bigs go, we have:
Justin Cheik Rubles Nyarsuk Gaines Getting a little crowded and I like that we'll have a competition. It's likely that 3 guys will get meaningful playing time with another at 5-10 minutes a game. Something tells me, Gaines will be sitting again. Admittedly, it seems to be pretty wide open and everyone should have a chance. |

Cheikh has really improved according to observers and players. They need another guy that can give them strong minutes at the 5. I still haven't seen an official announcement but if this holds the reasoning behind it is sound. They obviously feel the move will be an upgrade or givet hem another body out to eat minutes in the post.

Saw on a WVU board what people agreed was a good description on David. They said he is similiar to Dieng from UL in that if he isn't blocking shots he is changing them. Mick has made a concerted effort to get a shot blocker/changer for the back end of the press. They say he will get his share of rebounds and some put backs. They wouldn't have minded seeing him verbal to WVU again. Offensively you take what you get out of him.

I like the move, with such a big question mark in the frontcourt another body will be nice. This really isn't adding another big, we lost Ellis, so this replaces a big. He will only take up two years scholarship if he doesn't pan out and this first year would've been wasted anyway. From the little bit of video I saw he has good instincts. What I like the most is he kept the ball high on shots and on putbacks. He moves very well for a seven-footer. Can't wait to see this team suit up this year.

Sounds like Obekpa 2.0 minus the hype
