The former Kansas Jayhawk product, Cole Aldrich, has had an up and down career. In his seven years, he has already played on six teams. Of course, he is now with Minnesota, but his playing time this season may drop significantly with the bevy of talent on the team.
A big draw to him is that he is from Minnesota. Anytime a player comes home to play for his home state, usually gives fans a sense of gratitude towards them. He was born in Burnsville MN and played high school ball for Bloomington Jefferson.
While he may be from Minnesota and have a little spot in some people’s heart for coming back – Aldrich will need to step up his play if he wants to see more time.
