We really have to solve our leadership crisis. This tourney I saw no one leading the huddles, no one restoring the team faith or no one actually taking over the game. The Kansas game clearly exposed this deficiency, especially when we looked befuddled in the 1st half.
Jalen appears to be the one to lead next year, I hope Coach gives him the keys. However Jalen showed some flaws mainly frustration type, but Bazz seemed to have the same flaws when he was young, which he learned to contain.
Amida is not really a leader but an encourager and cheerleader, DHam is too passive at least so far, Rodney could but he's had two years also and he didn't emerge.
Solving our leadership issue as well as bringing in the strong recruiting class will certainly make me feel as good as
@mauconnfan. Hopefully Ollie appoints the leader in the summer and not wait until practice.
I may seem to put a lot of emphasis on leadership but all of our strong teams had a defined leader, I need to see that and I also feel Jalen can be that leader, he has the qualities, confidence and demeanor.
We will see.
