    Being a big in college may have changed a bit. That said, Danny Fortson put up 15 and 8 per game as an 18-year-old freshman. Maybe let's temper our comparisons a bit.

    I'll dredge up a very old message board topic. Danny Fortson, despicable as he was as a Bearcat, added 10 wins to a Seattle supersonic team by adding sheer toughness.

    Tyrique is that toughness.

    The umbrellas? Is that your objection? "Festooned" bothers me a bit, but I can get over it. Go X! Beat the Gigantors!

    The only real question is how many minutes can Tyrique play. Is his conditioning good enough to go 30 minutes a game?

    The fact that it's been brought by coach more than once means that this is going to be a mixed bag issue for him. He's obviously working on it and will likely get stronger as the season continues. But the question will be does a run of several games in a row just wind him at the end of the season.

    Personally, I like O'Mara in there for different reasons, so the platoon approach works well for this team. Jones certainly has looked strong so far and I hope he steps up to demand the ball more while he's on the court.
