I think the reaction to Fab's struggles went above and beyond last year. When you combine the fact he was not only raw, but a foreigner, extremely highly regarded coming in, and then hampered by conditioning and nagging injury, well, I think people just got themselves more and more worked up every game.
He had some good efforts last year. Both in regards to individual plays and various halves of games. I thought his movements during the MM were much more explosive. There will still be bonehead plays, and consistency will be a season-long struggle. But Fab will be the MVP of a handful of games, and seeing how much he dedicated himself and knowing his high ceiling, it would not shock me if he put together a together a Syracuse career in which he looks a lot like Seikaly's, but a year behind in his development.
