And Pete's been playing at Northern Illinois, getting 16 minutes a game, starting 5 games and averaging 4 points and 3 boards and hitting 78% of his free throws. It's not like N. Illinois is awful either at 12-15;
I wonder why he never got any time here?

Because he now has a red shirt year and then 3 years of playing (sparingly). When he was here he was a freshman.

Yup. Maybe had he stuck around his numbers would have been a little better playing against weaker competition, but I'd say things worked out just fine for all involved.

Scary moment in that game vid posted. Yikes.
