If we do we'll be a top ten team.

sorry, there are no more Zellers out there.  If there were, they would not be coming to Ohio...

Gilmore went to Jacksonville State?  So, why not an adventurous young man coming to Ohio?  Never say never.

Surprised OCF didn't use Nate Thurmond as an example of a quality big man coming to a MAC school.

I'm not proud, I'd take another Nate "The Great" also.  A few of us remember seeing him play in Grover Center.  I also saw him  play in Anderson Arena.

You want a slow big who can't play defense?

He was one of my favorite players growing up.  The Bulls got him in the ABA dispersal draft.  He went to Jacksonville, not Jacksonville St.  Dolphins not the Gamecocks.  Yeah an Artis Gilmore type would be great.

I stand corrected on the name of the school -- Jacksonville.  I guess I had a "Brady Hoke" moment.

A: Yes.

Would love to have a future Naismith Hall of Famer.

Would love to have a big who ends up the NBA's career FG % leader.

Would love to have someone good enough to be named a Sporting News Top 50 player.
