He would be an extra 5 fouls! Lampkin and McLeod are taking all the minutes, if the kid is capable he will learn and see minutes next season. Not sure why Patterson left, he may not have played much this season, but very well may have seen a lot of time after this season as a RS sophomore. It does not reek of desperation, it is thinking outside the box. Red is trying to build HIS team in his vision, as much as people have complained about JB, many seem to think we should be the way we were 15 years ago, those days are over, until the transfer/NIL rules change. If the kid is not legit, he will leave and move on, but if he is a surprise, then all is good. In todays world you have to look at all options.
