Chris Beard has signed a big man, and we needed a big man. Since at this point we do not know for sure who all is returning, we cannot tell how much this goes toward helping our problem, but at least Lis Soshi is some length for the inside who got a lot of rebounds and blocks in junior college. And that is something. Junior college statistics are notoriously unreliable as predictors, but they at least give some indication of the player's game at that level. Soshi is a rebounder and shot blocker, and that is particularly what we need. He is skinny and probably will get pushed around some in the Belt, but you cannot teach 6-11, and if he has some agility and aggressiveness, he might do well. At least we know that he is not one of those big guys who tries to be a perimeter player. He attempted only 26 three-pointers, and actually made a few of them.
This was a good sign. It is a step toward fixing one of the problems we knew we had. The problem now is that we keep hearing rumors of other problems to come, and we may not have time to plug all the holes.
