Varnado vs Whiteside

[TaleofTwoDogs]

The kid from Marshall is tied with Jarvis with 95 blocks, but because Whiteside has played one less game he leads the nation with 5.6 blocks per game ( Varnado has 5.3). I would love to see Varnado win the trifecta this year - most blocks ever, most blocks this year, and most average blocks per game. But Whiteside just might put a tamper on JV's time in the spotlight. BTW, Whiteside is only a freshmen and has averaged only 24 minutes a game this season. Varnado's reign at the top might be short lived if this guy stays in school for 3-4 years.

haven't heard about the guy before... its definitely early on, i don't know if he is pro potential or not but just staying healthy for 4 years is tough enough for him to catch JV. Knock on wood, Jarvis has been fortunate enough to do so.</p>

and still block the shot.

He is really really good, id imagine he will be gone before 4 years comes though...he actually has a frame to go with his ability. If Jarvis had that, the NBA would come calling hard long ago.

You dont see many top 100 players goin to Marshall of all places. Last i saw, he was projected in the top 10 of the 2011 draft on multiple sites.

edited to add- I read that he was offered by MSU. Imagine him and Jarvis...wow.
