He's not going to get up to speed if he isn't in there long enough to break a sweat. IMO, the best thing AM did for Wherli was to feed him to the wolves after the two were kicked off the team. He played 21, 17, 17, 19, and then 23 in that 5th game vs St. Bonaventure where he had his coming out party and earned that scholarship. Frankie on the other hand has only played 29 minutes in his first 7 games.
I just don't think we have the luxury of not getting Frankie up to speed by whatever measure it takes. We're going to need him in A10 play.
