Toughness...

[tiny707]

In addition to a point guard....we are missing toughness. We need a scraper who rebounds, locks downs his opponent in defense and dives for balls. Missing Kiser. Never hear about toughness with our recruits. Just athletic, etc. Sackey shows signs of toughness but his height sometimes comes into play. The Bulls never would have won with Rodman or Horace Grant.

Agreed, but, those guys playing for DePaul were huge!  Our guys are very young--the ones playing.  Given JO, Ben, Goodnews and Clay, a year or two in the weight room.  In the meantime, get a couple of JUCO transfers to bang the boards.  We need that desperately.
