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.
