Yes, some shameless attention grabbing. But sometimes a sharp rhetorical shovel may be appropriate to unearth a deeply buried potential new star.
Over the next two years, keep your eye on FSU's Adut Bulgak, a mobile 6-4 junior transfer from Sudan via Canada. I've seen her three times in person and have been very impressed by her aggressive multi-positional play and shooting touch.
Bulgak was on the Canadian National B Team, was a two-time JUCO AA at Trinity Valley, the JUCO NPOY, and the MVP of the JUCO tournament. After 11 games, she's currently leading FSU in scoring, rebounding, FG%, blocked shots, and is hitting three's at 41%.

FSU's game vs UNF (north fl.) is available via espn3 replay.
From a few minutes' observation:
Bulgak's style of movement reminds me somewhat of Tina Charles, albeit w/ a slighter frame.
Quick foot work around the basket on both ends.
She is more acclimated to, and operates more proficiently in, the post than Stewart, but is less perimeter-acclimated.
She has stand-and-shoot 3-pt capability.
As Sue Semrau said in the above blurb, w/ more strength she's gonna be "a tremendous force nationally".
Good eye, GMAC, and thanks.
Maybe there's a bit of hope for the Noles, a team I adopted when they knocked off Stanford at Maples in the '07 2nd Round.

Kind of OT, but wasn't Manute Bol from Sudan?

UConn will be playing FSU next season so we'll see how the two compare head-to-head.

Enjoy watching her play this season. That game against UF where she scored 10 points in the first three minutes was fun to watch.
Has done a great job in filling the shoes of Howard. She and Slaughter are beginning to click as well.
