Kyle, Mara, DWilliams, and Bilodeau.

At this point we just don't know if either Mara or Bilodeau is up to playing center in the B1G, where most teams have at least a 7 footer.

Bilodeau seems like an option if we want to play small in a 5-out configuration. I don't know if that will work for us. Mick has done that in the past with Jaylen Clark playing the 5. I don't know if Bilodeau can play that role.

Does Mara have the lateral foot speed to play defense as a center? Will he have the strength? I hope so.

I imagine Kyle will start, but at this point the contest for backup seems wide open to me among the other three.

Finally, we don't seem to get through a season without an injury to a center. We need the depth.

I am not saying the Devin will be our backup center, but it might be possible.
