Message: [QUOTE="RayIsTheGOAT, post: 2535351, member: 6090"] And I just couldn't disagree with you more. I think it's backwards logic to say you want him to leave because he hasn't proved himself as a leader. Typically players with talent like Jalen are better, and better for a team, when surrounded by good players. You'd REALLY rather Jalen left, and rely on a freshman and a kid who's been injured for 2 years? I just don't see how that is beneficial to the program next year, or 3 years from now. Also, Jalen wouldn't have to dominate the ball if someone else had the capability of scoring like he does. Having Gilbert/Akinjo/Wilson would alleviate that and help the team have a more potent and dynamic offense. This is probably a useless argument anyway, because Jalen will probably leave. But to say you want our most talented player to leave is blasphemy. He has the talent of a player that could start on a championship team, despite questionable intangibles. [/QUOTE]
