Who's Who

Honestly, Chandler provides some nice post depth. Even if he was on scholarship, he belongs and the fact that he’s willing to walk on speaks volumes for his character. Those individuals are few and far between in today’s world.

I'm curious about the reason he's coming back. He says returning to his family. Isn't hcib the only person on the team that was there the last time he was at WSU?

He played a season with Craig.

It certainly does...(speak to his character). Are you kinda saying he's got sumthing to prove? He just might....

All of the above is relevant.

He's also bigger than last years center. Hell, the entire Mo Valley had bigger pivots than WSU's. Not more effective, but bigger.

Good pickup for the team. As I recall from his time here he displayed some pretty good skills along with good touch, but man, he sure didn't camp out down low in no-mans land like Mo did/does. Maybe he's developed a hunger for that kind of contact, or, he'll be coming off the bench again.

Maybe he had a good experience his first go-around here, he liked Wichita, and wants to move back. I would imagine he had more experiences than just on the basketball team. Some people actually like it in Wichita, and don't need to go to Texas or Nebraska to find home. We've had lots of former players move back before, and the fact that he doesn't need a scholarship to move back would be a similarity.

He played a season with Craig.

I guess he prefers small families then.

Is it entirely unreasonable to think he could end up being one of the more reliable bigs on the roster?

[SubGod22]

Considering he's never been a reliable big, I'm not sure how reasonable that thought could be.

I don't think so. He was a good 3rd big body to play defense when others ended up in foul trouble, but he was never imo a reliable big.

Not at all.

This is, what, his 5th year in D1 basketball? Reliable is not much of a leap. There's a million examples of the effective and reliable play of upper classmen in college basketball. All conference? Now that might be a leap. There's a difference between reliable and all-conference, as the Shocks found out this past season.

I think the question was "one of the MORE reliable".

I have no idea. However, how reliable is Pohto at the 5? Got pushed around and played mostly the 4.

How about Ballard? Good numbers in very limited playing time over 2 years. 147 minutes over 2 years.

Abidde? A red-shirt freshman can hardly qualify as a reliable big at this time.

How about injury prone, both knees, 6'6" Rojas?

So he’s the answer under the basket? I hesitate because of Poor Bear’s history. But you say he is the answer. I’ll take a Pohto as the better answer.

I did????? Where?

I said, "I think the question was "one of the more reliable". I have no idea." I then gave potential arguments regarding "negatives" of the other potential post men.

C'mon Biden. (Sorry, not being political, just making a comparison.)

More reliable is based on relative terms. This is a completely different roster than what he left.
