The lack of Big Men since Mitch

Submitted by AVPBCI on
This program besides McGary has been horrible at attracting quality bigs. As long as we continue going after white stiffs and neglect Detroit and other areas To get quality bigs this team will never be more than what it is now. This program needs to go out and get a true big and stop being scared. We know we can get guards and small fwd but until this happens we won't be any better going forward than a 7 seed . This is also one reason I feel coach b got ran out of West virginia.

Everyone keeps saying we need a Mitch type player.  Morgan did wonders in JB's offense and was one of my favorite players.  Sadly, Donnal and Doyle do not fit this role.

This program has been terrible at attracting quality big men aside from Mitch since, what, the mid-to-late 1990s? This isn't a new problem. It's just amazing it's been this long and that much of a struggle.

I mean Morgan was pretty fucking good in his own right.

No McGary sure, but Morgan helped this team win its first outright BTT in decades and almost lead the team to a second consecutive final four.

This team lacks toughness and that dog you need to be in order to battle through tough times. I could care less if he was blue, black white or green. Just play with some heart, please!

Less development and more athletic! JB won't get involved in the dirty recruiting tactics and we won't be put in the NCAA Jailhouse, but we will most likely stay right about where we are. Above average competitors that should make the tourney field each year.
