Re: Adam H a center?

[swilsonsp4]

Hrycaniuk participated in Bearcat Madness, which included drills and controlled scrimmaging.  He is not a perimeter player.  Unlike many tall Europeans, Hrycaniuk is a banger.  Hrycaniuk is strong and gets good position.  He sees and runs the floor well.  At the time of Bearcat Madness, he was wearing a cast on one hand, so it was hard to judge his shooting.

He would've helped greatly this season.  Hernol Hall would've helped more, but that's another story.  With Hrycaniuk, UC would've been able to rest Williamson and get him out of the post on defense.

Next year, Hrycaniuk will be splitting time in the post, whether it be with an incoming freshman or Mike Williams, who may be forced to play the 5 at times, rather than at #4.
