First of all, Irizarry never complained about not playing...that was the only thing good about the kid, aside from his natural talent. Second, re-read Russell's quote, where he says, "...
it is always appealing to be able to go and play with your former teammates again, but I have to make the decision that is best for me." That tells me that he's willing to go somewhere else (
OSU in this case) rather than play along with his former high school teammates at a school where he would be far more likely to see the field earlier.
