It’s painful to see teams abuse Porter whether it’s shooting over him or posting and driving by him. For one thing Ritchie has to change his recruiting philosophy.
Darius is pretty athletic
VanZandt is pretty athletic even if I can’t spell his name
Warfield is athletic

Now, if you want athleticism from the frontline…. You won’t find it.

So we are leading? From reading the other posts I assumed we were getting blown out. I'm out in the woods hunting and the stats broadcast is not working.

We are up 79-57. I just assumed you were making a point that people were acting like we are as bad as chicago state despite winning big.

What we don’t have are guys who are athletes and basketball players. Aside from Darius, our best athletes haven’t shown a ton of skill, and our most skilled guys, like Peebles and Porter, are athletically limited.

The comment I replied to was “we don’t have an ounce of athleticism”. You make a different point.
