With 15 now on the roster


If the opposition gets to the spot first, there is no backing down necessary. Lots of variable to this discussion.
If the opposition gets to the spot first, he will get fronted because he doesn't have the ball yet.
 

He may not have gotten defensive help preventing #1 and #2, which hurt his drtg.
If he gets that help by adjusting the defensive scheme, and he himself shuts down #3, the dtrg goes down. If he can't do that, then he will be as useless as you are speculating that he will be.
Yes, if he was completely misused at Idaho and Washington State, his statistics are off. I've already conceded that I don't think it's even possible for him to be as bad as his statistics.

That said, he's a pretty simple player type of player to use. You use him to defend the post and I just can't imagine that Idaho and Wazzou could have possibly thought they would use him in any other way.
