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.
Cmon… maybe against close to equal size. I’ve played rec ball for 40 yrs… coached HS.
William Davis as well… plenty of smaller rebounders but if everything is equal the bigger guy will win.
short and small are not the same thing ...
“Smaller” was relative to overall body size.
Of course there are times when you can't do a whole lot if they already have the position. And sometimes you simply can't move them when they are thicker than you, but then youve gotta meet the thicker guy higher and earlier up the lane, each time you can.
lol ok, I’ll go with effort under 50%. Just my experience
The great William "Cheese" Davis. Great memories.
Watched him win a natty up here in ‘88.
Choo was one of those players you wish could never run out of eligibility. He made so many big plays with both his rebounding and scoring. When we beat Illinois State in the 2nd round of the 1985 NCAA tournament, their coach commented that Choo basically won the game for OU since the focus was on Wayman.
Taylor also does all of those things
He is hit and miss. Moser said recently that he challenged Taylor, I think before S. Carolina, because he needed to see more from him.
With the two guys out Taylor does really need to step it up.
