Two powerful teams this year are Pitt and Louisville.
I know we are looking to bolster our big players inside here at LMU, so what does it take to have a "big" team.
If you examine Pitt and Louisville's rosters, you will find Louisville has three 6'9" players - their tallest - and Pitt has one player over 6'8" (he is 6'10"). Not so different from LMU.
However, the players are stronger as reflected by their weight.
And, not shown on the roster, is the talent factor, which is very high for all the team members.
If we land Osborne and Lawson, LMU will look OK "size" wise versus the top teams in the country. May need some extra work in the weight room.
