With the guards we have and OBryant, I dont see a scorer at the 5 as a necessity. We need someone to lock down opposing 5's and rebound/putback. Could be a perfect fit as we already have people who will require some shots/game.

Agreed. I expect O'Bryant's offensive game to develop a good bit this year and that will alleviate any real need to use Odoh as much more than a banger inside.

I wonder if Godfrey can give us significant minutes as a banger.

Godfrey will start or will play starter minutes. Unless we sign Odoh, or someone like him, Godfrey and JOB will start in the post. That's a sold front line in college basketball. While neither of them are really a true center, there are very few of those in college basketball anyway.

I don't know how all these signings will turn out, but I'm really impressed at what Jones has done in such a short amount of time. I expected him to get a bench player or two and try to get some guys next year, but he's been aggressive and made real moves to help the team.

Udoh averaged 12.4 points, 14.3 boards and 4.7 blocks per game last season. His scoring pretty much comes from the fact he's usually playing much shorter and WAY less athletic "Big" men at the JUCO level. For us he would most likely be a 5-6 point a game guy but still maybe grab 8-10 boards a game with a couple blocks. Assuming he'd be the starting center.

This all being said I have NO damn idea what our starting lineup will look like next year if we land Udoh. We could go a number of directions...

C: Udoh
PF: JOB III
SF: Coleman
SG: Turner
PG: Hickey

With Godfrey, Hammink, Morgan and Stringer being the high energy guys off the bench to push some in place of JOB III, Coleman, Turner and Hickey? Then you have your fillers like Ludwig, Courtney, and Issac?
