"What's the upside" is a Brian Ferentz quote mentioned about a thousand times on the football thread. Try to keep up.
And you're correct. He shouldv'e been picking up some time when Rebraca was is foul trouble. But he wasn't. Which leads me to beleive he's not very good. Not a D1 player. Not wishing any ill will on the kid as others seem to believe, but if he hasn't played any significant role by now it is doubtful he ever will. The only player I know of that came on late and played well in his senior year was Les Jepson. I could also include Brad Lohuas, but he was playing out of position for Raveling & Dr. Tom allowed him to play more on the perimeter.
Good luck to RM, but he should probably transfer if he wants significant PT.
I'll agree with you on one point. It doesn't make sense to redshirt one year, only to transfer the next. He'd be better off transfering and taking a redshirt at the next program if that were his path. I actually hope you're correct and he becomes a productive player. Anyone who sticks it out with a good attitude deserves his shot. He's been a good Hawkeye in this regard. But it is a merit based system. Produce or sit on the bench.
