Numbers aside....if Towns doesn't get in the weight room, he'll struggle to see the floor moving forward on the D-One level....whether it's BG or Elon. He showed a glimpse or two in a Bobcat uniform and that was it. I don't see the potential in him as a significant contributor on this level like others do.
Yep, and Saul couldn't recruit D1 talent, either.
Towns is DI talent. Hence he’s now been at two DI schools on scholarship
I think you missed the point of my sarcasm. I wasn’t questioning that Towns was a D1 athlete, I was making a sarcastic comment on Fear Leon’s analysis of Towns and his characterization of Saul’s recruiting ability. I was implying, in what I thought was funny way, that he was wrong on one (Saul) and might turn out to be wrong on the other (Towns). Now, that you make me spell this out it sounds like I’m mad at Fear Leon, or picking a fight with him. Neither is true. I usually admire Fear Leon’s analysis of OHIO basketball, which is greatly superior to mine. I just think he was unnecessarily harsh in some of his comments about Saul, and I was trying to in a light, funny way comment on that one issue. Fear Leon, I luv you, man. Hope you understood my initial remark as it was meant.
No hard feelings at all OCF. I didn't even tie in Saul to my Towns comment. I honestly think this is the first time I've typed the word Saul into a post in three years. Yes, I was critical of Saul's recruiting misses just as I have been with Boals and his staff.
Back on topic, I just don't see Towns contributing on the D1 level. Nothing more...nothing less. Just as I said the same thing about the likes of Foster, Miguel, White, Gareri and McMurray.
With that said, I do think Boals and staff did an excellent job with the three portal additions. Loving the size with Wilson and Whiz and we have guys on the perimeter who can play. Brod better be ready come October because the competition for minutes is going to be good for everyone.
