Another Michigan player leaves; cites coaching staff as reason

Former Michigan Wolverine Blasts Program

The Grand Valley Lakers have picked up another key transfer as former Michigan Wolverine Quintin Patilla has decided to join the team. In this exclusive interview, Patilla talks candidly about his departure from the Wolverines and his medical condition. "I've decided to go to GVSU," Quintin Patilla told GVReport last night. The 6'1, 230-lber is a native of Flint and has spent the past two seasons with the Michigan Wolverines. He has been dealing with asthma, something that limited him in his time with the maize and blue. "I had a lot of inflamation," he explained, "the doctor told me I was using only 65% of my lung capacity, so it made conditioning hard because I would get light headed and almost pass out. I still played, still worked and still competed." "There were a lot of things I didn't agree with," he said, "I didn't like what was going on. My health issues were present when the old staff was there and I felt like the new staff didn't care too much." -- Scout.com

Not that I've ever heard of this guy, but it does seem odd that another player leaves the program and has some less than flattering remarks about Rodriguez.

You have to wonder what it is that they're telling them to do...my money is that the new staff is telling these guys to run fast...

Well, seeing as I don't even know who he is, I doubt a fan would even pay attention to him. Seriously, I've never heard of him and I pretty much know every player on that team.

He's asthmatic, there is a difference.

If he can't control it, he shouldn't be playing football.

His health issues nearly caused Patilla to quit the sport he loved, saying “I had no intention of ever playing again.” Then schools began inquiring and he had a list of several schools including Eastern Michigan, Toledo, Bowling Green and Saginaw Valley State to choose from.

Double ouch. Then Saginaw Valley was also in the mix. Yuck. GVSU can win NOW not in a few years like Michigan.
