Think we'll see a handful of minutes given to small ball lineups of Luis/Taylor at the 4 most of which would have cut into Slazinski's time.
2023-24 Roster
- Thread starter Jack Williams
- Start date
Center is obviously different than the other positions because of the physical requirements. You can put almost anyone on the roster at the 3 and it won’t kill you.
We’re really just talking about what comes down to the basketball equivalent of an emergency catcher, but God forbid anything major happens to Joel….
Rick would be the first person to say he would rather have a third guy who can play center.

If we wanted to make LuHi happy we could look at the big man who is still looking for a home last time I checked. Rutgers had him in in early July but looks like they put him in a holding pattern. 6'9 but skinny and a project. But he would be five extra fouls and of course have a great coach working with him.
I'm guessing any kid still looking for a home a month before school starts might commit for NIL equal to tuition and a few bucks sprinkled on top.

Who was our third string center on any team?
In an emergency even at 6-6 u will see Ledlum there or Dunlap and will play zone.

Idk but I do know Marvin Clark miiight have a half inch on Ledlum and he was the starting center on our last NCAA team.
I will always go back to a phrase a very successful D2 coach in Jersey used to use religiously when someone would tout a player citing height and athleticism, “Yeah, but can he play?” Those things are assets to be sure but they are nothing in and of themselves.
Ledlum can play and has something NO ONE can teach, he is relentless. In addition, he is a matchup nightmare and Pitino has enough roster versatility to use that to maximum advantage. Great pickup, IMO, the best of a really, really good group.
Great post Logen.
And 6-7 Tyrone Grant should have been the starting center on our last final four team.

With the new rule change that players can now wear numbers 0-99, Simeon Wilcher and Chris Ledlum become the first to rock the numbers 7 and 8 since 1946-47 season. 76 years ago, Tom Tolan and Larry Jacobson wore those numbers respectively.
your knowledge scares me
Let’s hope RJ is more Walter and Malik than Heath.
any thoughts on retiring Walter Berry's number (we're not the Yankees, but he was special for the two years we had him). I guess in some ways as a 4 year player Malik's #21 might be more deserving; Malik's stats are fantastic.

I think a retirement of #21, like the Yankees did with Berra and Dickey’s #8 Is in order.

Really not sure why but SJU doesn't retire numbers (at the moment)
