I dont think Leatherwood is in the plans. I may be wrong. But, I would have thought he would have played more last season if he was. I also believe Whitehair is more of a luxury than the plan at this point. We know he can play and we do not know who we get in the draft yet. Plans for him may change after the draft.
In fairness to Leatherwood, last season, he had and was recovering from Mono. That's a pretty long term, debilitating illness. I know of only one person who had it, and he had to leave college for an entire semester. He struggled to do anything.

Not saying with any certainty except I have a bad back as well.
Maybe all of this is due to his back and nothing else. When healthy he is a bonafide starter. Health could be the main issue, hell it could be the only issue.
If you have a bad back, I STRONGLY suggest Pilates. I've suggested it to DP as well. Don't know if he's taken me up on it yet. The one thing I can say is, what do you have to lose. From my personal experience, I haven't even had a tinge of a problem in my chronic bad back since I started Pilates twenty years ago.
3 herniated disks. Lower lumbar. But this message for a chair I got for Christmas with what feels like baseballs in them sure helps a lot. When I can't move at all the only thing that works is Norco. But only get a prescription of 30 every 5 to 7 years.
Depending on how bad his back is and what and where it is screwed up depends a lot. If has what I have and got surgery to fix Herniated discs then that would be fusion and eventually his back will need it again it later. Thats according to my back surgeon.
Sad, but I'd still ask your back surgeon on at least trying it. You know, Pilates was designed from a hospital bed I believe. And you don't have to go full hard core. Just laying flat on your back with your knees up and feet flat on the floor (or bed if you want) and slowly dropping your knees from one side and hold and then the other helps a lot. And there are a lot of low impact exercises like that in Pilates like simple knee and leg circles. Things like that that just loosen it up a bit. Just ask your back surgeon first. You might be surprised. You notice they have Jenkins doing them.
