Gueye's a project. I saw some things tonight which made me optimistic. A nice running hook which rimmed out. A blocked shot. But if he played 20 minutes an night he'd foul out. And at times he seems ultra aggressive and at times he seems soft. He's certainly got more potential than Engstrom though.

I'm a bit worried about our lack of athleticism with our big men next year after Jamychal leaves (if Tony leaves its because he's a dumb arse or he was kicked off, he's certainly not a pro). Jacobs has some post moves but is so lacking in athleticism. Gueye and Engstrom are decently athletic for 7 footers but that's about it.

I don't know what we're doing recruiting wise this year, and I know we only can take a small class, but we need an athletic 4/5 who can rebound, block shots, and run the floor.

We desperately need one of those 6'10" guys who can't do shite on offense but grabs every rebound that comes within reach. It seems like all these mid majors have them. I really don't understand why we can't seem to find one.

The Taylor kid in the 2013 class seems pretty athletic. He's just skinny as frick. Maybe he can re-classify.
