Available Bigs

[pinstripers]

Transferring and available to play immediately:

Aaron Roundtree III, 6'8", Wake Forrest, from NC

Daniel Green, 6' 10", Wake Forrest, from Texas

Mike Thorne Jr, 6'10", Charlotte, from NC

Too lazy to look up-stats?

Wake was terrible and Charlotte not much better

[Dave Stalwart]

Wait is that a list of two big men leaving Danny Manning?

[shocka khan]

I looked up the stats for these players. Roundtree and Green aren't worth wasting time on. Juniors who averaged about a half a point a game and got garbage minutes. Pretty much like what we already have.

Thorne, on the other hand, averaged 10 points and 7 rebounds for Charlotte. He might be intriguing.

I believe last time we went and got a big man from a smaller Carolina school that panned out well for us.

[Wuzee]

Thorne is a space-eater at 6-11, 270 and had 16/11 against K-State as a junior and 23/16 in an OT win over Penn State earlier this year. Downside? 54% from the line.

Thorne would be a good addition

[WUs Your Daddy]

Thorne doesn't appear to be a stiff either.

Leads the team in rebounding and is basically a tie for the team's second leading scorer.

Maybe my information was dated, but it didn't look like his stats were that good. Perhaps they were last year's stats. My eyes are probably the worst part of my poor 'ole body (the rest of me is in pretty good shape and my dad's 94, so I have some good genes). Two cornea transplants and now in 'vision appliances'.

Had a bad day yesterday and everything's blurry today, so totally possible that I missed that.

Sweet lord...if there was ever a perfect fit for Thorne to use his fourth year of eligibility, it is Wichita State.

And Marshall is from where he's from and might relate to him awfully well if we go after him. That is an interesting player if we decide we have a spot.

Thorne is a good enough big to get plenty of offers. His free throw percent improved during the last 15 or so games. It will be interesting if the Shockers will be on the list of pursuers. If not, we probably aren't seriously looking.

I'd like to see us get a Juco. big, first.
I wouldn't totally mind a transfer as a back-up plan.

I bet there are none
