    I have never heard of any swingman being a 4. Karl Malone No. Kevin Garnett No. Chris Webber No.

    Swingman is a 3. Swingman is also known as small foward not power foward

    You're right. I had it backwards. A swingman is between a shooting guard and a small forward, or a 2 and a 3.

    There is hope indeed. The kid grew from 5'11" as a sophmore to 6'8" that he stands at now. He is only 17 so maybe by the time he gets to campus he will be at 6'11". :)

    He was the best thing that ever happened to Navy basketball. A 6-4 player with one year of prep experience when he joined the team, he averaged 7.6 points and 4.0 rebounds as a freshman, but he grew seven inches while at the Academy and became a devastating force.

    As a junior, he averaged 22.7 points (down from 23.6 as a sophomore), led the nation in rebounding (13.0 rpg) and set an NCAA Division I record by averaging 5.91 blocks. He blocked 14 shots in a single game that season to set a collegiate record and he tallied more blocks in a season (207) than any player up to that point in the history of college basketball.

    As a senior, he averaged 28.2 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 4.50 blocks to win unanimous selection as Player of the Year. He scored 50 points in his college finale, a loss to Michigan in the NCAA Tournament. He also played on the 1988 U.S. Olympic basketball team that won the bronze medal as the last purely amateur team to represent the U.S. in Olympic competition.

    I knew LSU fans were familiar with Robinson because he led Navy to a win over LSU in the NCAA Tournament. One and done.

    Look at Julius Hodge from NC State and Hakim Warrick for Syracuse, or better yet Tayshaun Prince who played for UK and is now with the Pistons. You don't have to be ripped to be a good player. Those dudes are rails!

    Just a friendly little reminder that there is a fine line between critiquing and insulting recruits. Please be careful how you do it as there is no recruit bashing allowed.



    Carry on.

    Truth be known, the intent of this thread was continued Brady bashing.
