Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 4809565, member: 966"] Redshirting Patterson concerns me. If Hima is gimpy, we’re a McLeod ankletwist away from having either Brown or Carey playing significant minutes at center, and neither is a real center. Both of those guys would be exploited like Marek was. We can’t be a good team with heavy reliance on those two at the 5. If this means that Patterson really isn’t at the level to even serve capably compared to Brown/Carey, then it concerns me that we recruited him, even with the bromide that ‘big guys always take longer to develop.’ Whtevs. Still seems odd that in an exhibition where we were up 22 at half we couldn’t find a few minutes to see what he is. That sorta indicates to me that even in the safe, friendly confines of practice, he’s not up to the level. I hope that’s not the case, and we just struggled too much in the second half with the expected Minutegetters and he would have played If we could have maintained the larger lead. [/QUOTE]
