<div class="photo_container image_right" style="width: 300px;"> <div class="photo"><img title="Arinze Onuaku" src="http://www.si.com/2008_images/Arinze.Onuaku.jpg" alt="Arinze Onuaku" /></div> <div class="photo_attributes" style="text-align:right;">Arinze Onuaku is difficult to post up, Getty Images </div> </div> “You're not fat, Chris, you just come from a long line of husky Griffins. Like your great uncle, Jabba the Griffin.” --Peter Griffin, Family Guy SI’s Seth Davis puts together his annual <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/seth_davis/03/18/glue.guys/index.html">All-Glue team</a>, honoring those players who, basically, hold their squads together. Here at The Tenth Power, we’re less concerned with cohesiveness as we are beefiness. Call them husky, call them wide-bodies, we’ll simply call them the All-Khalid Al-Amin team. 1. Pierre Henderson-Niles, Memphis (6-foot-8, 300 pounds): No player on the Tigers’ Final Four team was more captivating than the massive PHN (sorry, Derrick Rose), who looks like he could play nose guard for Tommy West or stand in as the "before" picture in a weight-loss ad. He's <a href="http://wisportsconsin.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/pierreniles.jpeg">"slimmed down" </a>from <a href="http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/mem/sports/m-baskbl/auto_action/1926611.jpeg">350 pounds after last season</a>, though no word if he heeded the advice of PETA, <a href="http://www.peta.org/mc/NewsItem.asp?id=12154">which urged him to go vegan. </a> 2. John Bryant, Santa Clara (6-10, 305). He’s no longer tipping the scales at 350 as he did as a freshman, but Big John still looms large. He’s a The WCC Player of the Year candidate averages 19.6 points and 7.3 boards a game, and not surprisingly, he’s no novice in the kitchen. "I like to cook ribs, beans, corn on the grill and artichokes," he said <a href="http://www.kerrykeating.com/feature_bryant.html">in an interview</a>.  "I took a picture and put in on my phone the last time I made it -- it looked so good." 3. Arinze Onuaku, Syracuse (6-9, 275). The Orange center has added 17 pounds to his frame and <a href="http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf?/base/sports-1/1225011415223670.xml&coll=1">somehow looks leaner</a>? Whatever, big is big. AO has a little Shaq to his game, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5fWcaMVtpU">breaking a backboard</a> and, of course, throwing up one of the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vekeExMo1d0">worst free throw </a>attempts on record. 4. Chris Galdey, Canisius (6-9, 320).  Remember Martin Lawrence's <a href="http://www.stomptokyo.com/reelopinions/images/bigmomma3.jpg">mock weight in Big Momma's House</a>? That's Galdey, who's like a point guard stuck in a center's body. He's no lumbering big man and he can hit threes, going 7-of-15 on the season. 5. Darryl Monroe, George Mason (6-7, 275). The Patriots' banger is averaging 10.9 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists after missing last year due to toe surgery, which fittingly, was on his big toe. Also, don't confuse him with <a href="http://iacmusic.com/artist.aspx?ID=80663">this </a><a href="http://iacmusic.com/artist.aspx?ID=80663">Darryl Monroe</a>.   6. Marcus Goode, Marshall (6-10, 315). His stats (6.3 ppg, 4.3 rpg) aren't spectacular, but his YMCA rec-league specs most certainly are. <a href="http://www.herald-dispatch.com/archive/x1649868188/g276258e4810227703f07c19bbd9ca49d2795f0e6992b5a.jpg"> After one recent practice, "Big Boy" </a>was told by coach Donnie Jones that it was his best practice yet. Replied Goode <a href="http://www.herald-dispatch.com/archive/x1125292292/?r=r">"That's because I’m down to 3-4 pounds."</a> 7. Dexter Pittman, Texas (6-10, 299). Pittman, who <a href="http://www.burntorangenation.com/2008/4/15/84754/5764">Burnt Orange Nation.com</a> users honored for The Best Pierre Niles Impression, is having the best season of his career, averaging six points and 3.4 rebounds. <a href="http://www.40acressports.com/2008/03/22/dexter-pittman-has-huge-hands/">He also has huge hands.</a> You know what that means ladies? He can get a lot of rebounds. 8. James Eayrs, Milwaukee (6-7, 340). His nickname is "Big James," which poses the question: is there a certain size where every moniker includes "Big" in it? Like Galdey, the juco transfer can hit threes (6-of-19). 9. Jeremy Price, Georgia (6-8, 264). He dropped 20 pounds in the offseason, making him a little more svelte. His size makes him a perfect fit to bang inside in the SEC, or play defensive end.  10. Dazzmond Thornton, James Madison (6-7, 285). The Texas Tech transfer is having a slow start, averaging seven points and four rebounds, <a href="http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/023ugFceze6uT/340x.jpg">but his game isn't what gets him on this list</a>, it's his name (arguably the coolest in D-I hoops) and his frame (which he shed a reported 25 pounds from before the season).     29281 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/471/4/thumb/mccartney_cory.jpg 15 GA
