2014 recruiting. Big men in the SE are hard to find.

2014 will be a difficult year to recruit big men. There are very few quality big men in the South. Most are in the Midwest. Let's assume Harris and Finney-Smith stay for their senior years. With Young, most likely Chris Walker and Yeguete gone in 2013 season, Billy needed to sign an Embiid or Rimmer.

Joel Berry is fine, but any names for 14?

completely agree with you! we needed a 2013 big who was not a one an done. now walker could surprise us and stay two years but thats up in the air and who knows at this point.

DFS will be a JR after next season. We may have to pull an under the radar prospect and hope for the best. With as much play time as we will have to offer I wouldn't be too worried. We have a great chance for a title run next year which helps recruiting.

Well Georgia has some bigs who listed UF, Read, Tracy etc. Florida has Price-Martin and a few bigs. So there are some and a few others will develop this season.

UF is hardly dependent on the southeast for recruiting. We do okay in places like New York, South Dakota and France. There's a decent big man in Chicago the Gators are looking at.

HaH, good one Strange.

However, other than New York, I really don't think those other places (South Dakota & France) are particularly noted for producing High End Division I quality BIGS.

Hah!
