The fact that a team concentrated with the equivalent of apparently a box in one on a freshman who has never played before speaks volumes about what this kid should be able to accomplish when given reps.  At least this is what I take out of Marrones comments on why he didn't play in the first half.

I know it's game one and they're integrating him slowly.  But here's the thing with this type kid and player.....he needs reps early to get himself in the groove and warmed up.  With each successive rep better things should start to happen.  4 reps isn't enough to get it going.  They need to have him in there from series 3 going forward with a certain amount and consistent pattern of usage.  I was apoplectic in the first half when it became apparent he was not getting in.

I'm not sure what changed with Nwesterns approach in the second half that they allowed him some reps, but going forward they'd better have him in there if they want more production out of him.  Once he hits it, they and we should be happy.  Said it before, but again, unless the staff has a death wish we'll see a lot more of him starting this weekend.
