Message: [QUOTE="BigErnMcCracken, post: 4869064, member: 70"] It's just this idea that Solo would be crushing it if Hurley "invested" in him by, I guess, giving him more playing time at the expense of better players. We have no idea how these guys are coached, developing, etc. during the 99% of their lives that we don't see. The coaching staff does. And the idea that Solo would be a drastically different player at this point in his college career if his playing time had been different earlier - forget about what he's doing in practice, what he's shown he's capable of - the idea that a few extra minutes of playing time are what determines what kind of player a kid is in early February of his freshman year is just nonsensical. We see an exceedingly limited slice of these kids' day-to-day. This idea that a fan has a better sense of how a kid should be "developed" when he doesn't have any insight into that development process to begin with is just ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
