Your original statement is completely unsubstantiated, given that we brought in two guards that class.  If we'd only brought in Ennis, you'd have a stronger case -- but we brought in a second guard.  We - as in the coaching staff - screwed up bringing in Patterson over Morris.  It was a flawed recruiting strategy -- one that has bit the program in the arse for the past four seasons, during which we've had four different starting point guards.  We've brought in multiple players at the same position before.  Our peers do it all the time.  There's no reason that we couldn't or shouldn't have done so, instead of filling the slot with a lesser guard who couldn't shoot his way out of a paper bag, despite what he claimed.

That quote from Patterson should serve as a cautionary tale for why quotes from players, their AAU coaches, parents, and HS coaches need to be taken with an immense grain of salt -- especially when it comes to describing player abilities / potential.
