What is it with this board and writing athletes off because if what they see them do as freshmen? That's the worst thing you can do.
Not every player on a team is going to be extremely well rounded. Sometimes you just have specialty guys out there. The NBA has plenty. Sure if they're just totally getting you killed in one way or another out there, you can't play them.
But there's quite literally just not enough evidence from an RM freshman who got hurt, to try to come to any conclusions.
