These are some pretty lofty numbers you guys are throwing around. 15 and 10? Who's the last guy to average 15-10 for BU? I'd be surprised if even POB averaged that his sophomore year. I don't care so much about their numbers as long as Austin, Collins, Sam, and Salley? can defend the post and not allow the second chance points that killed us last year. Also, isn't Theron Wilson supposed to be a pretty good rebounder for his position? I hope I'm wrong on the low side, but I'd expect somewhere around 8 and 6 from Austin his junior year.
According to NCAA.org only the following players averaged 10 rebounds per game last year:
1 Rashad Jones-Jennings, Ark.-Little Rock Sr. 6-8 F 30 392 13.1
2 Chris Holm, Vermont Sr. 6-11 C 33 401 12.2
3 Kentrell Gransberry, South Fla. Jr. 6-9 C 23 263 11.4
4 Kevin Durant, Texas Fr. 6-9 F 35 390 11.1
5 Nick Fazekas, Nevada Sr. 6-11 F 32 354 11.1
6 Obie Nwadike, Central Conn. St. Sr. 6-4 F 31 331 10.7
7 Ryvon Covile, Detroit Sr. 6-9 C 30 317 10.6
8 Glen Davis, LSU Jr. 6-9 F 29 303 10.4
9 Jason Smith, Colorado St. Jr. 7-0 F 30 304 10.1
10 Jason Thompson, Rider Jr. 6-10 F 31 312 10.1
The last number in each line is the rebounds per game, so even if all these guys averaged better than 15 pts per game, that's a total of 10 guys in all of division 1 that could have averaged 15 and 10 last year. Notice Greg Oden didn't even accomplish 15 and 10. Forget All-MVC, if Austin put up 15 and 10 against the competition we will be playing, he'd get some All American votes.
