Listen rooneyboy. You just proved my case. See first you went after college kids. Then you went after me(cause you knew I am more athletic than you). Leave the hate alone, you are fine the way you are.

I played against a kid who was 6'11"/7'0". He had zero offers. Because he wasn't actually any good.
The fact many of the nation's top center recruits happen to be 7 footers is hardly indicative of anything. The elite coaches wouldn't offer a guy if they thought he couldn't play. North Carolina/Kansas/etc. have their pick of the litter, and don't have to stoop to such levels of desperation.
And part of the problem with AAU ball and defense is that there is far more talent on the floor offensively. It's like like Iowa high school ball, where you can double-, or even triple-team a guy like Woodbury. You can't key on anyone like that. Who are you going to key on: Jared Sullinger or John Wall?

The only case you know about is a case of beer you just consumed watching awful basketball. Or maybe you though it was good basketball, heck now i'm confused.What were we talking about again? English majors who are bad at scrabble. shoot, that's not it, oh yea, legends in their own minds. got it, thanks.

Even if you're telling the truth (no idea if you are or not) there have been plenty of successful centers who couldn't do any of those things.

Dont throw stones brah. Looks like you make mistakes.
Also I drink whiskey pal.
If youre looking for better basketball than get lost. The way the Hawks have played this year has made me proud. There has been a lot of thing happen in Hawkeye basketball in the the last ten years. You dont like it then get lost. If you need to call out players than f@ck you.

You are right, there alot of successful centers who can't do those things, but i bet those centers can bench their own weight, make the extra pass, get a tough rebound, not trip over his own feet walking across the street. Maybe he has to grow into his body since has has been seven foot since the tenth grade. here is the real kicker, i bet those centers don't get pushed around by 6'3 kids. i'm telling you he plays soft. what do you think is going to happen in the big ten? he is going to get manhandled . you will be shocked by his coordination the first time you watch him play.

Outoftownhawk,I don't have a problem with you being a proud drunk, embrace it. What i do have a problem with is that you think it's ok to come on here and bash fellow hawkeye fans for giving their opinions, it's a free country, if you don't like it f*%k you and get the f*#k out. I guess you can dish but can't handle the rebound.
I have seen Woodbury play a few times. He is not as bad as smitheroony has implied but he also isn't the next Lou Alcinder. My only question about him is his aggressiveness. If he can build some strength and get an attitude on the court, he will be a very good player. He may not be great but could be the best center Iowa has had in a long time.

1. There's been no implications made by smitheroony. He's spelled his opinion out quite clearly. (Just nit-picking on this one
)2. I don't think anyone was expecting the next Kareem, so that's not going to be a disappointment.
