Message: [QUOTE="SUintheVille, post: 154976, member: 1024"] This analogy is a bit of a stretch but seems to fit in some demented capacity. Almost every year, there is a player who plays a little, but is on an extremely short leash and gets pulled at the first missed rebound, bad shot, turnover, missed assignment, etc. It's almost like pledging a fraternity (without the hazing). It's an initiation that some (obviously not all) new players must suffer thru to be accepted into Boeheim's fraternity and good graces the following year. I'm sure it's not a lot of fun for Rak (is pledging ever fun?), but next year when he is fully initiated, he will blossom and be able to exhibit more of his talent and athleticism with the shackles of riding the pine for one mistake removed. OK, maybe it was a dumb analogy, but I tried. Or maybe it's Rak just not being ready yet (duh)... [/QUOTE]
