and got basically no reps because they weren't sure it was going to be cleared up in time and then ended up getting cleared after Virginia?

Someone help me here, I'm sure someone remembers...but I am pretty sure Fusi was thrust in without almost any reps and was basically forced to try and build the plane in flight. Presuming that's true, I could see why Tuni and 2J and Bronco and everyone would be raving about how much he has improved.

So often there are mitigating factors the casual fan isn't aware of, but in this case I am pretty sure Fusi didn't get hardly any real work in fall camp because of eligibility issues.
