Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 2652464, member: 93"] +1 on both fronts (except there are no "ex-Huskies" in my mind, other than the ones who left the program for another school; the others are always Huskies, they're just former players). But I know what you mean, and I think the former players will come around. JC and KFree is a good start. I think all or most of the current players will come around, too, and I'm betting Jalen stays. I know it's not my money, and I know we are cash-strapped, but I'm sure one of the things that would help accelerate all of that would be a quick resolution of KO's situation in a manner where they believe the school has dealt fairly with him. I don't know what that is or what it will take, but as I tell my friends who get divorced, the only way you will have a good relationship with your kids is if they believe you have treated your ex fairly. No matter what the circumstances. I think the same dynamic applies here. If you read Jalen's comments in today's papers, you can see even he recognizes that he and the team needed to be pushed harder than KO was pushing them. I don't think anyone believes that KO was without sin here. For whatever reason, he squandered a great thing and it was time for him to move on and get back on track somewhere else. But they don't want to see him railroaded either. As well as Benedict has handled bringing in Hurley, I think he will need to finesse a soft landing for KO in order to bring all the former players back into the fold. I hope KO also looks in the mirror and sees that it's in his best interest to be flexible here, too. It's time. [/QUOTE]
