One thing the daily pictures from Europe seem to show is that Sanchez is the tallest guy on the team. With his skillset at that size he really could be a matchup nightmare this year.
Well, since we have no players taller than 6'9 your visual assumption is spot on.
Unfortunate that he and Gift will be gone next year when we become a very small team. A quick glance at our bigs targets for 2014 and 2015 does not entirely hold much promise for a dominant SJU team in the future in the new Big East.
So a "quick look" before any of the signing periods makes you assume we won't be good for the next few years? Pitt grabbed a big guy named Steve Adams out of New Zealand last year when nobody knew anything about him and he quickly rose in the rankings. Why dont people have any patience to see who we land first?
IMO, if we put a good product on the floor this season, then things could really open up for us with the '15 class.
By the way, we're in very, good shape with Diallo. But as we all know things can change when it comes to recruiting.
