What accounted for his lack of playing time in his sophomore year? Injured?

Medical redshirt, so I answered my own question.
According to a brief Twitter search, FIVE players from Mercer entered the portal. What's going on over there?

Mercer had a KP Rank of 209. There is nothing in this guys stats to indicate he is a find.

1.3 pts/game and 16.7% FG/11.1% from deep this year, but the kid has a nice head of hair on him.

First year stats were much better. He's got some size, so if he's healthy, he might be able to contribute.

He broke his foot in Oct of his soph year and it looks like he tried to play with it for a short time. Likely a stress fracture but I didn’t see details.
In hs he was an all state player, a Rivals 3 star, and had offers from Mercer, South Carolina, Coastal Carolina, Elon, Charleston Southern, UMBC and Mount St Mary’s

So he's Henry Brooks, Part II.

He has 3 years of eligibility left, not 10.

So you're saying his % on mid-range jumpers *won't* regress to the mean?

I've wondered about Henry Brooks. He certainly came in very highly rated. If he had played for a coach who wasn't totally incompetent and who had his players' interests at heart, he might have been a contender.

There were way too many players from that era who either couldn't stay healthy, weren't a good fit for Penn, or just didn't pan out.

I recall being very high personally on the potential of Mike Howlett too. It seemed that injuries derailed his career.
There are so many players who didn't reach potential or seemed in the dog house, but I don't blame any coach for any single player. There are so many things that matter about a player, especially decision-making and response to pressure. Some of those things aren't as obvious to a spectator. Players will have good and bad days, so we often see what we want to see. I never understood why Mike Milobsky, Andreas Schreiber, Dau Jok, Julian Harrell, Eddie Scott, Bryce Washington, and Duane King didn't get more time.
I do blame Miller and Allen for grinding our program to pieces, though. Talent management is a part of that. I have no idea which of the overlooked players deserved more playing time the most.
