Go back and watch videos of Gabby Williams' FRESHMAN season. At the end of it she was quoted as saying she "wished she had given the coaches more reason to play her. Most games she was out of position often, and her teammates had to grab her and push her into position. She made AA despite that initial season. And she wasn't the only one like that. Patterson is entering the "freshman wall" part of the season and will likely continue to flounder but she is smart, super athletic and is a very hard worker and she may be a much better player late in the season.
There were a lot of pre-season posters upset that Muhl was going to be the starting pg.
