Anyone 6'8"+, should score at will and dominate the competition every night out? If you happen to be 6'10"+, approaching 7', 30/20 games should be routine? A quick look back at the best "bigs" in North Dakota over the last few years would indicate that they were all underperforming stiffs by that reasoning. Les Jepson, Doug Swenson, Jon Godfread, Evan Lindahl, Tom Verdouw, Tyler Koenig, Brian Qvale; none of these guys consistently dominated the way that many people seem to think Qvale should. Koenig probably came the closest to being consistently dominant but he had some flat spots too. He was more mature physically in high school than most North Dakota big guys have been.
Bigs get criticized because people think, " Man if I were that size it would be sooo easy." College coaches know that almost every really big guy matures into his body later than smaller guys, it's just physiology. That's why big guys who show some athletic ability are snatched up, even if their high school numbers don't knock your socks off. Sure Dwight Howard/Amare Stoudamire/Greg Oden would've put up crazy numbers if they had played against ND high school competition when they were 17 or 18, but Qvale and the rest obviously aren't/weren't at that level. Qvale is the best of the "bigs" in ND over the last few years, I hope he finishes his high school season strong and has a great college career.
