Teams that don't have the pedigree to naturally recruit bigs have to overpay in order to acquire one. Having a competent 6'11+ center is a necessity to compete, especially in the B1G 10.
You also have to consider injury history which affects our willingness to put out a bid that competes with those other programs.
I mean yeah we will miss JPs little jump hook but when you score 8 on one end but give up 12 on the other it’s a net loss and he was benched multiple times this year for being a net loss while on the floor.
I love JP and his passion....but his skill set just isn't anywhere close to elite material. He has really weak hands. He loses more rebounds and loose balls then I can keep up with. I hate losing his heart....but I definitely think we will upgrade in this roster spot. I do hate losing Carey for some reason. I think he would have been a bigger factor next year.
