Big Men

Perhaps at the beginning of his career when Albeck let him feast on potato chips and Taco Bell. By the time he finished up under Mo, he was in shape, deadly from 3 at the top of the key, and could defend and rebound inside. I recall him having a couple of 20+ point games his senior year. When Singh ever gets close to that, let me know.

I only meant in terms of length of time here.

Chad certainly contributed much more.

Oh...yes...yes he was!

Seems like they keep pushing Coach Stowell farther away from the program. He is the only one on the radio broadcasts that calls it straight.

They don't even let him ask Coach Les questions after the games most of the time.

Maybe they want Coach Les to get a word in edge wise.

BTW - Just a thought here, but Chad Klein wasn't looking like he was going to amount to much in a BU uniform when Stan was here. A new guy was brought in, Chad stayed, and ended up having a very nice career and perhaps even exceeding expectations. Just goes to show that a new guy can make a difference with a player.

Chad never played for Albeck. He was recruited by Stan, but was a frosh in Molinary's first year.

I thought he had one year under Stan. I stand corrected.

So are you going to apologize for the wise comments regarding potato chips and taco bell?

I recall Chad telling the story more than once of how out of shape he was, how his diet consisted of potato chips and Taco Bell, and how Coach Mo got him into shape. I may be off by a year, but I could have sworn he got in one season with Albeck in 90-91.

[Double D]

Then I guess I "stand corrected" on the issue of Chad Kleine's diet.

...(Matt Salley)... wasn't that great. I think he is much better at the center position that Egolf at this point. ...

It would definitely be nice if Salley syddenly found a few more games of eligibility, but as far as who is better right now, you might get some who disagree...

Matt Salley's best year produced 6 pt/6 rebs
Will is producing currently 8 pt/5 rebs..but we are seeing improvement game to game...
both were hard workers but Matt was limited a bit by his 6-7 size..

I don't think anyone wants him in place of WE, rather as a front line compliment to him. I know I will take WE 100 times out of 100 if those are my choices.

Can I say, how did ODU and Oakland find their bigs? Last year UW-Milwaukee had this big big and I mean big who did a number on us. St. Mary's seems to always find a big, year in and year out. For every team that has problems finding a big you can find a team that finds them. You have to really search high and low, but they are around. Mike Williams was all of 6'8" but built like a MAC truck. In our conference alone the top teams all have an adequate big or two. Do not get me wrong, I love WE's game but think how much better we would be having him play the 4 and TB the 3 with CR coming off the bench?

One of the best questions you've posed on here Pete! I wonder the same thing!

Lets add Both ISU's and Drake's bigs to the question They are in the MVC, are they not I said it the other day, this BS about finding Bigs, well it's just that, BS

And don't forget UNI and WSU. I think WSU has one 7-footer and just signed two more.

Her I am defending someone I didn't think was that great. If we are talking strictly as a Center not Power forward. Also if we are assuming no improvement. I would take Salley over WE. I just think Will gets pushed around more and is not really a Center at this time he is a PF. I don't think MS was a center either, but he filled the roll. I want some toughness and rebounding and defense.
