of centers when the portal opened was S. Dakota States 6'11, 260 lb center, Oscar Cluff. Near 18 pt ave, 12 rebounds, 63% FG percentage and very physical in the post. That's the kind of center I was hoping to see the Bruins get. Don't know if the Bruins were interested but Purdue was and got him quickly. He's a prototype Big 10 center.
So like you, I'm keeping my fingers crossed hoping at least 2 of the three the Bruins picked up can be significant contributors for them. I'd be surprised though if all three turned out to be impactful Big 10 performers. I believe Booker has all the physical tools needed and can turn himself into a very good center---assuming he has a burning desire to improve and puts in the work effort it will take to turn himself into that level of a player.
