OU needs a 7'3'' center

Well the Versus network is basically the "home" of the Mountain West conference, so there you go.

That color guy was AWFUL.

I'll tell you what, all those 7 footers have a face only a mother can love. I about threw up in my mouth multiple times
when they focused in on his face.

Amen to that!

Utah always seems to have one... Capel needs to find out where they grow these guys and go sign on.

Stiff or not, that guy impacts the game for them in a big way.

Like Oleg Retsov?

He forced us out of our offense. We had to take a lot of shots that we normally don't take because if we got closer he was going to block the shot.

Definitely not a stiff on defense.

There are quite a few in Africa. There's a program that's brought a lot of promising basketball prospects from Africa and other developing nations to the US to help them use their athletic gifts to earn an education.

Of course, the program is led by an Indiana booster, and a lot of the players play on an Indiana-based AAU team and have Indiana on their lists. Funny how that works out... (although I'll admit Indiana is not quite as bad as Africa). One guy from the program is at Indiana now, but they have brought over a lot of guys who went elsewhere.

There are three guys in 2012 who are getting looks from all over (MU has offered at least two of the three, and probably all... along with several other schools). Capel might want to give them a look...

None of those three is quite 7-3, but pretty darn tall nonetheless.

the 7' African at OSU - Teng Smileyface - hasn't got on the floor. I'd say both RW and Orlando are better than him.
