Did Spradling play point in high school?
If not, what kind of potential/expectations (particularly at the 1) did Frank and Undies have of a pizza faced white kid from Shawnee Mission South High School (playing at the 1) at the major conference level? (more rhetorical than anything).
IMO it sounds more like, "I've got to have him do it, because I've done a $hitty job of recruiting, and finding the talent I really need, I am going to take it out on the moderately talented white kid from Shawnee Mission South."
