Here's hoping Nick Johnson is still well in play, though. Pelle may be an impact guy - but he doesn't always play to his potential is the word, right? And from what I've read Garrett's not a scorer, which the 2011 squad will badly need a few of.
The other thing about Pelle, from a Big East perspective, is that he's relatively thin. Hell, his nickname is Stix. That said, we need bodies and, perhaps, bringing Pac-Ten basketball to the BE will be an effective strategy.
I don't know if this will hold, but the average pace of the Big east has gotten faster over the past 3 years. Speed can work, especially if there is a PF or even a SF who bang on defense. Even teams with meat in the middle like Cuse and Notre Dam (to some extent) play it very fast.
