If the rumor that Onyenso is ours if we miss is true, I'm fine either way. Such a luxury spot to be in. I think both guys will provide a similar impact. Cliff is the more sure thing, but Onyenso has a higher ceiling I think.

Yeah both guys give us a Bediako type presence. Not the key piece of the puzzle but really good to have when we need it. We had less alley oops last year than the years before, but i expect to see a lot more of them if we land Cliff or Ugo.

When this roster is complete the 5v5 scrimmages are gonna be awesome.

Cliff is the ideal guy for us. He can run, is a rim protector, rebounds well, and plays excellent interior defense. Offensively, he's way more developed than Onyenso but still won't command too many touches. He can finish around the rim and score on putbacks. He's not a back-to-the-basket guy and did some damage in the PNR last year. Centers aren't going to be highlighted in this kind of offense so having a guy like Cliff with his talent and ideal fit would be a homerun. He's a Bediako 3.0 essentially.

Onyenso is a fine back up plan, he's just as good defensively but he won't produce much on the other end, which like mentioned earlier is fine because bigs in the system won't command too many touches.

I think Cliff puts us in title contention, Onynseo puts us in the top 10. Assuming Sears and Stevenson are back.

Positive smoke regarding Cliff to Bama this morning, he's announcing tomorrow but I believe informing the staffs by tonight.
