Yeah, in that case I'm glad he made the decision now rather than later. It works out for both him and VCU.
Yep. My friend told me that Odom said that there are plenty of options in the portal. Shame it is coming to that because Patrick could flat out shoot it. He had never been away from home and he is shy. Kind of a recluse since coming to RVA. He could not tough it out I guess and it could not be worked out.
I kept hearing the same things. He was having trouble on D. Like you said, we will never know because we won't get to see him.
It is, but I was hearing about the ”homesickness” thing about 2 days after he got to Richmond. It seems suspect to me. My bet is that he thought he’d come in and start immediately and then went up against some of the veteran guards we brought in and realized it wasn’t going to be as easy as he thought. Guys like Shulga, Bam, Zeb, etc. can all get after it and play a similar position.
This would make sense to me…coupled with him possibly thinking living abroad and at an urban university would be easier adjustment than he encountered. That’s a lot of transition to make while fighting for minutes. Heck go home and make money doing what he likes, which makes sense to me. Glad he realized it quickly. Wish him the best.
