Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2036673, member: 40"] He played at Providence as a freshman in a reserve capacity, behind a productive senior center. He had the normal ups and downs you'd expect from a developmental big acclimating to the collegiate level that season. He sat out last year and practiced with our team. The redshirt year also gave him a chance to hit the weights and mature physically, but he didn't add any appreciable weight [220 pounds stretched over a 7-2 frame]. No argument that game competition CAN help players develop, but so can practice. And thus far, this third year sophomore hasn't shown much by way of improvement. And if he doesn't improve, then he won't get PT down the road. So it is a vicious cycle. [/QUOTE]
