Kyle would probably be the primary center with Bilodeau and Mara

as backups. From what I've seen, Bilodeau could be very effective in the post, but more of a scorer than Kyle, since he also has a mid range and three point shot to go with his strong post moves. Bilodeau seems to be a more physical player down low than Kyle. But Kyle is the more athletic of the two and more of a Bona type with only a "near the bucket" scoring game. And if Mara would come back 15 to 20 lbs heavier and a lot stronger than last year, he could also be more effective this coming season.

That's the way I envision the center position playing out assuming Cronin doesn't bring in a big stud 7 footer at the last minute. With both Bilodeau and Kyle in the lineup together, they could make up a very nice high/low post combo with Bilodeau out high some of the time. With his mid range and long range threat from out there, that should open up the low post quite a bit more for Kyle or Dailey who has some nice inside and mid range moves. A lot of options for Cronin this coming year.
