Fisher was also likely a factor.  People were quick to jump on his jock when Og struggled(even though he wasn't much better) because he seemed a reasonable alternative.  Price doesn't have another high draft pick waiting in the wings behind him.

He may not have a high draft pick but he does have someone who proved solid last year, Trey Hopkins. And now he has the guy who took his spot at Ohio St, Michael Jordan. Price has competition too.
