GAME 20 - OKLAHOMA (15-4) @ TEXAS A&M (15-5) 8:00pm CST on SEC NETWORK

I'm old, but anybody remember Jerome Lane of Pitt back in the day? 6-6 and led the nation in rebounding. We had a guy named Cheese Davis back in the late 80s or early 90s that also was 6-5 or 6-6 and may have led us in rebounding. Dude was thick and muscular. Maybe someone's already brought up Ernie Abercrombie..

Choo Kennedy was another very effective rebounder at about 6-5. Everyone in OKC had a running joke about if he got his butt into you, you could never dislodge him or grab a rebound over the top of him. He was always against taller PFs.

Actually, yes. I was watching that La Tech game video that was posted earlier and Choo was a phenomenal rebounder. He had that wide load but he was getting up too. Fun teams, man.

HAHAH no way. Is that like a ncaa record? I'm going to be thinking about that all day now

I'm fine with him not starting, honestly other than Texas we haven't been in a bad position going into halftime, but he has to start coming out of half.

I heard a story that Choo who was listed at 6'6" here later played in a 6'4" and under league

It certainly is both. But it's like 70-80% effort.

Cmon… maybe against close to equal size. I’ve played rec ball for 40 yrs… coached HS.

I’m 6’1 215.. ish. Unfortunately I’ve been a “post” player for most of my time…

I’ve guarded a 6’7 195 guy, kicked his butt, but against a 6’3 240 guy I got schooled.

Believe me, effort wasn’t part of the equation.

Yes, ya can’t just stand around and the more effort the better chance you have but to dismiss physical and athleticism to only 20-30% is ridiculous.

William Davis as well… plenty of smaller rebounders but if everything is equal the bigger guy will win.
