Good pick up for them, really wish he'd have decided on Purdue. On to McGary I suppose. |

Just saw the other thread on him. Everything I had been hearing was that he was leaning Illinois. |

McGary is pretty athletic for a 6'9 guy. That said, Egwu would have been perfect. He is similar to JJ. |

Pretty much. Most were shocked when he stated Purdue and Illinois were neck and neck earlier in the week. Purdue made up a bunch of ground, but not enough. |

I hear you. Not to sound like an ass, but I would like to see a more diverse front line. We never seem to get the big, black, rebounding guy. The black athlete. |

Meh, I don't care if you are white, blue, green or black, if you can play, you can play. Hale is pretty damn athletic for a white dude. Dawson is 6'6 and super athletic and is a very good rebounder. We'll see. I would have loved to have Egwu, but most have thought he was Illinois bound for awhile now. Plumlee/McGary would be a pretty darn good consolation prize if we are lucky enough to get one of them. |

I'm sure Claussen would like Hornug's line as well....those guys could block. |

And you say Hale is a pretty good rebounder for a white dude, implying white guys don't rebound as well as blacks..................I don't care what color you are either. Just tell me the last all white front line that won it all. Hornung was inferring lowering standards to get blacks in ND if I recall. |
