He looks like more of a true center than Luke, who always struck me as more of a stretch 4. A frontcourt of Faulds, Meisner and Tape could have a lot of potential along with great size.

True, except that with 4 6'8"+ players graduating this year (Voss, Coby, Petrasek, and McComber), it does not leave anyone with any size as backup.

Randall Brumant has been described as an "elite" forward with length so even though he's under 6'8" he will help up front. Andrew Panaytiou can help also at 6'7." I haven't seen much of Eberle or Sica, but they have size too.

Rodney Hunter, although listed at 6'5", plays like he is 6'8" on the defensive side. He can guard taller players extremely well. Now if he could just improve his offensive game......

That's my hope too. Obviously, Meisner, Faulds, and Tape if he begins to come into his potential could be a really powerful front line. Combine it with Smith as PG, Hickman as a shooting guard, the return of a healthy Castlin + the backups of Hanson & Adlesh, and Columbia should project as a top ranked Ivy Team. The substitution upfront will admittedly be smaller, but if Brumant, Hunter, and Castlin hustle and play defense, those contributions should at least partly offset their apparent lack of height.

CJ Davis is also playing valuable minutes as the backup PG. he plays good defense.
