Will new height change anything?

7-0, 6-11, 6-10, 6-8, 6-8. Height will NOT be a problem for the Trojans next season, assuming we stay healthy. Now, whether the new guys can earn their way onto the court remains to be seen. But we at least know that we had 6-10 and 6-8 at the two inside positions who are now veterans and who put up some outstanding numbers last season.

IF the new big men are players, it will be very interesting to me to see if Walker changes his approach to offense at all.  Maric and Bankston are going to put the ball in the basket. Will Walker think it is worth while to make his guards look inside first.

Or to defense, for that matter, if either of the new big guys is a rim enforcer. We know that Bankston is a shot blocker, and if either Monyyong or Besovic is legit at it, that could be an intimidating pair down low. That would allow our perimeter players to be very aggressive.
