Elbert Robinson: how is he developing?

He was highly recruited in high school wasn't he? Like a high 4 star or even 5 star?

He is not very athletic.

And his role--the big, immobile, aircraft carrier, seven-foot center--is becoming obsolete.

I mean, why have a guy 7-2 clogging up the middle who is slow and ponderous, when someone like Jarrell Martin is 6-10 with a complete game?

Shaq was an all-time great not because he was over 7 feet and huge, but because he was all that and could move, too.

Robinson is a Len Elmore-Rich Kelley-type center.

And the old classic, post-up, in-the-paint center is becoming as extinct as the passenger pigeon.

There is just not much place in this modern up-tempo game for them.

He is a true freshman who isn't ready for the speed and athleticism of the college game. I think that's simply all it is. I don't understand how some of our fans expect every single player to walk in as a freshman and start throwing up solid stats.

People hated Quarterman last year, a part of the fan base said that he should never see any time and needs to transfer. Last year as a freshman he just wasn't ready to play college ball. This year he is one of our most valuable players.

It was a mystery to me when CJJ brought Elbert in. JJ is an uptempo all the time coach. Elbert is a half court slow it down lumbering true center. No way he transforms in to a front line rotation player for us in the next two yrs. He really should consider going to someone who plays a more deliberate style.
