2010 Big Men

Here is another case of schools desperate for a big man-
Maryland has announced the signing of another junior college big man, 6-10
Berend Weijs, who averaged just 6 ppg and 5 rpg at Harcum College in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He did average 4.4 blocks per game, but Harcum plays a weak schedule with a lot of non-Division I juco opponents.

The difference is this guy will be used for purely backup, practice and mop up duties. They have a pretty good young bigs one who will be a sophomore and possibly make 1st or 2nd all ACC team.

... juco (big man) Dwight McCombs (from Moraine Valley) ...
Click to expand...

this guy Dwight McCombs who was the subject of a big recruiting battle last summer by several teams desperate for a big man (Indiana, Arizona State...)
played his first game at Central Florida last night..

Just maybe he was a bit overrated...but time will tell....he's a junior/juco transfer at UCF (Central Florida)

UCF played against a school hardly anyone's ever heard of, Flagler..
..and they barely held on to win 78-70........
Dwight McCombs played off the bench and got one basket and a turnover...
while MJ's son, Marcus Jordan had 19 and transfers Josh Crittle & Jeffrey Jordan did not play..

One of UCF's assistants is Brendan Suhr -- long time NBA guy (assistant & exec.) who is a business partner with Jake Eastman's dad, Kevin Eastman.

One of their top assistants is Darren Tillis who is friend and was teammate in 1981-1982 on the Cleveland State Vikings --

this is a 2-year old thread that I am dragging up because I checked the CSM Top 144 today and they have UCF ranked at #74...
http://www.collegesportsmadness.com/article/4740

So, in the absence of much else to talk about -- I have to say I am a bit surprised at this ranking....

Central Florida will be a team in chaos this season - they were hit with HUGE sanctions, they have a post-season ban this year,
and numerous players have departed including Marcus Jordan and Josh Crittle - and the guy we were talking about in this thread, Dwight McCombs.....
(btw- McCombs turned out to be a pretty ineffective big man - probably greatly overrated in 2010 when he was courting offers from BCS schools -
finishing his entire D-I career at UCF with just 134 pts & 124 rebounds in 47 games.)

Anyway -- this Top 144 ranking says...
" ...this is a team (Central Florida) that has the size and athleticism to compete with the likes of Memphis."

I am doubtful... but time will tell......
