Former Michigan Wolverine Blasts Program
The Grand Valley Lakers have picked up another key transfer as former Michigan Wolverine Quintin Patilla has decided to join the team. In this exclusive interview, Patilla talks candidly about his departure from the Wolverines and his medical condition. "I've decided to go to GVSU," Quintin Patilla told GVReport last night. The 6'1, 230-lber is a native of Flint and has spent the past two seasons with the Michigan Wolverines. He has been dealing with asthma, something that limited him in his time with the maize and blue. "I had a lot of inflamation," he explained, "the doctor told me I was using only 65% of my lung capacity, so it made conditioning hard because I would get light headed and almost pass out. I still played, still worked and still competed." "There were a lot of things I didn't agree with," he said, "I didn't like what was going on. My health issues were present when the old staff was there and I felt like the new staff didn't care too much."

Not that I've ever heard of this guy, but it does seem odd that another player leaves the program and has some less than flattering remarks about Rodriguez.
