I've been hoping/thinking that just maybe this could be the big breakout year for Kaiser Gates. Young folks heal quick, but getting him back in a month after knee surgery seems a bit overoptimistic. If X has a weakness this year, it's depth up front, and that issue just got seriously magnified. Rashid Gaston is expected to be good, but he hasn't played a Big East game yet. Sean O'Mara is capable but not spectacular. Those 2, Gates, and supposedly decent Frosh recruit Tyrique Jones are all 6"8" or 6'9", but no other scholarship players on the roster are over 6'6". Yikes -- we need a couple more big bangers to go with what seems like one of 2-3 best and deepest sets of wings and guards in the country.
