I never really got the whole infatuation with Carlos Monroe. A great player for FAU, but in the big scheme of College Basketball, I thought he was lazy on the court and in the classroom.
I agree that he was lazy off the court and probably wasn't the best character guy either..but he could rebound and you could probably just pencil him in for a double-double every night.
In the A-Sun
The A-Sun is MUCH improved…

The A-Sun in 2006 was not a good basketball conference. I dont know about now. I know Belmont is good. How about the Campbell Camels? LOL.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

If i remember correctly, we were in the Sunbelt for 3 of his 4 years here, or maybe it was just 2…

The Camels!
Had the rattiest gym that held 947 people. Crazy place to play…
Campbell is gone from the ASUN - moved on to the SoCon…but they are pretty solid now.
7-0 at home this year, and 2-0 in conference thus far.
Of course a new $30M facility will do that for you.

He's coached big guys at St. Johns, GW and his other coaching jobs, so it is a wonder why there would be a problem here.
If he can get Dragan anywhere near Yinka Dare status (Shot blocker rebounding beast), we'll be in the tournament the next 2 years….

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Re: Jarvis and "Bigs"
The thing is, there are probably 10 7 footers in the country that can play coming out of high school every year, that's it. I knew 2 7 footers in high school that dominated and neither of them could play D 1 ball, they tried. It's easy to be good when you're a foot taller than most everyone else but taking that size AND being skilled…they don't grow on trees, a school like FAU has to take risks and try to develop those kids.

Great "Bigs" are difficult to get at any school. At FAU it is nearly impossible. I wouldn't consider Royster a great "Big." He was great for FAU. I will never be excited about an incoming Big until I see them play. If we get a great one to commit, he has some kind of baggage.
If you are a great BIG, you are not going to FAU or hundreds of other Universities. We just need to get a better Big.
agreed, i think building the program to win in the sunbelt is the most important thing, win, win a lot and the Bigs hopefully will come.
