Wonder if Mike Young could do it again if would've kept him over Dorn?...
I have no idea on which one of them asked for the most money, but I didn't see a big upgrade in Dorn and he's a big with back issues which doesn't inspire confidence going forward.
Pat improved every year and knew Mike Young's system which is very important especially as a big. I was one of those in Pat's camp last year and didn't want to see him leave. The school had already invested 2-3 years into his development and he was a hard worker, and his best years were going to be his final two. Didn't make sense to let him walk unless he was asking for too much money.

Pat's HC may be moving up. I wonder if he follows him if he does?**
