To me, that would be our best offensive 5 and maybe our best on defense too. But I don't have a good feeling (yet) regarding their ability to hold their own on the boards with some of the stronger rebounding teams in the Big 10. And there will be several of them to deal with. Wisconsin with their two 6'11 experienced bigs, Illinois with their two very good 7 footers to contend with. Purdue with 6'9 All Conference Renn and 6'11, 250 lb Cuff. Cuff is the guy I was pulling for the Bruins to get. And there is Michigan that has Mara and two excellent 6'9 forwards who are very physical rebounders and scorers in the paint. That's just a few examples of teams with a strong inside presence UCLA will have to deal with.
