Tas, disagree about Mason Plumlee. I would take him in a heartbeat. Kid is athletic, can rebound and can block shots. Duke can keep the other two.

The only thing I'd add SF is the miss on Chris Braswell (currently averaging 18 and 8 at UNC Charlotte). Had Braswell come and had Henry developed in a more linear fashion, we would've had our complements for Greg and the big men to carry us in the post-Greg era, even disregarding the Macklin transfer (which really was a trade for 3 years of Julian). Those two things, more so than the Nikita/Wattad/Benimonster detour, stick out to me as changing the program's trajectory in the past 5 years from top 5-10 to top 15-20. We'd have had a very different last two years had Henry developed and Braswell walked through that door. Yea, more than anything else, the Chris Braswell saga caused III to have to play Austin and Hollis out of position which had a 3 year affect on the team, "small ball"

Man, I completely forgot about both Braswell and Riley.
Rooter brought up on another thread close calls as well recently on Christmas, Ochefu and Upshaw. Man, we are trying to have enough bigs but it's been a lot of struggle.

people don't realize how much of set back that was, especially for depth purposes. Would have prevented the JB recruitment.

We also need minutes for Hopkins in the three ensuing games.

he seemed to be a deer in headlights vs. Kansas. Did he get much run vs. IUPUI?

he seemed to be a deer in headlights vs. Kansas. Did he get much run vs. IUPUI? Playing about a minute in his first nationally televised game against the first big time college competition he had faced, what do you expect? Not every frosh is going to be calm and collected as Porter.

Plus, he was trying to guard Robinson, for whom he was no match. That shouldn't be held against him. I doubt that there are any Robinsons on Howard or American or NJIT.

We won't see another Robinson again this season - unless we meet Kansas in the tourney. That guy has turned into an absolute beast. Went for 20 and 17 last night. He's at worst a second team All American this season.

agree robinson a BREAST and we wont see many like him this year again nope not even uconn bigs that dominant imo also henry got eaten up the most by robinson but i think when nate got on him the last seven or eight minutes he kept us in the game by denying him the ball and stopping his dunk fest if i remember correctly nate did the best on him of anyone .. anyone else remember that ???stop bama be toughnate and all henry be mean we will see
