I still think Alexander has more raw talent than Owens. Both were built the same & about the same height. Alexander seemed to be the more skilled guy even back 2 years ago.

He was definitely a better shot blocker than Owens while Owens may have been slightly better than Alexander with post moves. Alexander has improved in this area now for him though.

To be fair, Tyndall said "no" as well. Hard to blame either coach either because they needed his height in the post due to a lack of options otherwise. Truthfully, they both prpbably knew he needed a RS year. It just wasn't a luxury either could afford.

Both were very raw and relatively new to the sport. I think they have similar upside and wpuld have made a tremendous young duo to build in the post.

Well, he redshirted anyway but now Barnes, who needs every body he can get taller than 6-6, doesn't have him. Real smart

I remember his dad did make comments about their meeting with Barnes. I dont know if it was on here or not but it did have to do with guarantees if I remember correctly. And since Barnes didn't recruit him they felt best to move on. That's what I remember anyway.

Pretty sure that was here. I wish he had stayed, but I gotta question any player who needs guarantees.jmo Especially from a coach who's helped put quite a few bigs in the league, whether your personalities clicked or not.

I don't blame the dude, he got a lot of eligibility left. I just wish players had more stick to it ive ness today.

Good to see AJ playing. Looks like he's had an injured hand. Played 20 minutes in his first appearance a couple of days ago.

Cofer was looking great last year before he got injured. I wonder if it's effected him much this year.

Kingsley Okorah is gonna be a good player. His impact just isn't scoring pts right now.
