Justin Bieber kid 1:04-1:06 is hilarious.
TBR, you are delusional if you think Woods is "underrated". He was pretty bad. I would love to read your rationale as to why you think Woods was an impact/contributing player. I'd rather have a Josh Shoemaker or Levy who I know wasn't nearly as highly rated yet contributed miles more than Woods did.
Oh, but he had a "presence" in the post...get real. His only "rare talent" is that he somehow was rated 5 stars and managed to be that bad.
Tony Woods was not good. PERIOD. And he would not have lit the world on fire as an upperclassman. He had terrible hands, very little basketball IQ, could not pass for his life out of the post, traveled and picked up his pivot foot CONSTANTLY, turned it over practically every time he got the post feed and put it on the floor, and was a poor free throw shooter.

Not that it matters, but we needed Woods' physical defensive presence around the rim last year like a dying man needed water. He might never have scored a bucket, but he was a large man who regularly intimidated the other team's big guys, by the end of his sophomore year, and could guard and rebound. Massive bulk was pretty much our major failing (along with poor PG play), so it's hard to argue that Woods wouldn't have helped tremendously last year and this year.
It's meaningless now, but this whole "Woods was no good, why do people think he would have helped?" line of argument is crazy. A massive center with coordination would have helped plenty. Still would.

You don't have to be offensively gifted to be a huge factor in a basketball game. Tony Woods would've helped us a ton if he was around.
