Regarding the questioning of Witt's character, here's my take from personal experience. I lived a couple doors down from Witt and roomed with a former player when he enrolled early in 06. He was a nice guy and his heart's in the right place, the trouble came in the way he went about things. My roomate and other teammates of his were constantly complaining about Patrick from day 1 because he came in with the attitude that he was entitled to everything. He would constantly call them and remind them about practice and workouts and essentially acted as if he was one of their coaches. This would be no problem if Patt was a Junior or Senior but he was an early-enroll freshman talking this way to juniors and seniors who already knew the routine. All the players I talked to disliked him not because he was a bad guy, but because he really just didn't fit in well with his teammates. He tried to run things and give orders without first earning the trust of his teammates and paying his dues. So I think this has been buiding up over the past 3 years and I can only imagine that his ego is much higher now than when I knew him. Once again, he wasn't a bad guy and I wish him the best but its a positive not a negative that Patt is leaving this team from my experience.
