[QUOTE="21ChampaignSt, post: 1920490, member: 748616"] Just getting caught up on yesterday's foolishness. It's clear people need someone or something to be mad at regarding Podz. Be mad at the portal. There's an alternate reality where the portal doesn't exist and Podz waits his turn and has his breakout year at Illinois and we all praise the staff for having the foresight to bring him in and develop him. Of course, that didn't happen because there is no such thing as "waiting your turn" anymore. Moreover, there are no actual stats or highlights from his freshman year that you can show me to make me believe he was ready for anything but mop up duty. We won a B1G title that year by the absolute smallest of margins and that doesn't happen if BU plays Podz much more than he did. I don't know why we can't just be happy for the kid and move on. Staff isn't perfect but this wasn't some kind of egregious mistake on their part. / cottage cheese [/QUOTE]
