He's an inch or two taller but 15-20 pounds lighter.

As for relying on them, I wouldn't expect Nikko and Smith combined to average 7.5 ppg as Rosburg did (much less double digits like Rosburg the last 3 weeks). As for the other kid, I'll wait until he's committed to look.

Mizzou is not a school that has historically relied on freshmen.
English started as a freshman, but wasn't really relied on. Most of the years with big production from freshmen have been bad years.
If Mizzou is relying on freshmen next year it either means that KA landed some real gems in the spring signing period, or that the team is no good again.

This is probably the biggest difference in how we view contributing. Scoring isn't the primary way the freshmen can contribute. Rosburg averaged 3.8 rebounds and 0.5 blocks per game. That's just not enough, especially when the other forward only averages 4.6 rebounds and isn't a shot blocker.

I believe that Nikko and Smith will make their contributions that surpass what Rosburg gave Mizzou in those 2 categories. Maybe even give Mizzou an offensive rebounding threat next year. Rosburg's points can be picked up be the guards playing better.
