It's not that the kidney infection will reoccur, its that the kidney infection prevented him from being able to play and make those tapes. He looked good in high school and as a freshman, but you wanted to see how he would develop. Then he had injuries and you wanted to see how he could bounce back. Then he had a kidney infection and a death in the family and you never got to see. To me, its a lack of data that makes it hard to draft him earlier than he was. Similar problem to another lack of data taking Marcus Davenport from a small school and not knowing how he would adjust to the big leagues. But at least we didnt trade up for Bresee, and if the player who fell to us is good, great.
We get to see him in live bullets soon and see for ourselves if his performance in the last preseason game was the beginning on an exciting career.
