Ron Erhardt told me when I told him about a school who said I could possibly start as a freshman. He said---now I want you to think about this. How good is a team that would start a freshman??? They must not have any depth and or they arent telling the truth. He then said--Pat even with all your talent you wont start here as a freshman. You might play some but that is no guarantee. Just being upfront and honest with you. We have players who have been here developing for 3-4 years. Do you remember what you were like as a freshman in HS? Whats the difference between then and now? Huge difference isnt it. Now think what these players are like after being here for 3-4 years. Was quite and eye opener.
