Think people are just wildly overreacting to this. It was always a very distinct possibility that he would do a medical redshirt this season. It’s probably in the best interests of both parties. Get it cleaned up, if things go quicker than anticipated get some great practice in and be ready to roll for next season.
I’m not saying it was “always” or “is” the plan, but this is common sense here. Dude sat out the majority of last year with issues that needed to be cleaned up. Played a bit, still some lingering issues. Not at all a HG3 situation. HG3 man that was just super super unfortunate. Dude was a world class talent and athlete, all derailed by injury. Love Pat, but he’s not in the same world as HG3. To be fair that might benefit him in the long run as he doesn’t have to jump to the league right away and can take his time. Harry had no choice.
Everyone needs to relax here. We’ve got depth, Pat wasn’t expected to play big minutes if much at all even before this news.
