will need to see growth.
But if Pope doesn't sign a big guy this off-season we are in big trouble. Atiki honestly should redshirt. He came here with incredible talent and it is still there. It pops occasionally, but for him to be playing so few minutes on a team at desperately needs a big guy is telling.
I have said this and I will continue to pound the drum on this. If Fouss is your 5 you are not a good team. He is too small and doesn't defend or rebound well enough.
George is another project who has had some success, but not like we hoped. Which is really the problem. Pope has opted (whether on purpose or not, I think Toolson, Hall and Saunders wouldn't fall into these categories) for projects with low floors and high ceilings. Guys who don't know basketball but have a ton of physical talent. The problem is when no one has that high basketball IQ (or few I should say) then you have a team like this one that turns the ball over a ton and doesn't seem to understand the game like a college team should.
