Who plays center?

Knowing that it is early, I am wondering about opinions of who will get the most playing time in the middle this year.
Will O'Mara fill that role or will Gaston? Suspect Jones and Ekiyor will get some exposure, but believe that it will be between
the veterans. Opinions?

Hard to say having never seen Gaston play, but my guess is 55% Gaston, 45% O'Mara, unless O'Mara can't keep the fouls down.

Are we going to play a true center this year? How often? See different options coming with this personnel

I agree with rickf in that we have so many options with all the players and assuming Ekiyor, Jones, and Goodin can add some meaningful contributions XU has flexibility with many lineups. Go big or go small and everything in between. If Myles can come out okay we should be a very tough out. Go Xavier!

Answering the question in the header; Center goes to the individual that Mack thinks has the best aptitude for the position and the backup is the second best.

X has been successful with an open post in the past and I dare say that X fans might see that at times this year. Sean and Gaston are likely to share their position and I look forward to both being successful but Chris will go with the hot hand or the person that best fits the situation. As basketball is a game of matchups it is important to have variety and quality in that variety to make it tough on the opponent.
