Jalen - wheres the urgency

[smoothcriminal]

Bro - you are a senior. It is now or never if you want to make the cheddar. Have some GD pride out there! Completely unacceptable game tonight for a player of his caliber. This is what he was more concerned about pregame:

 

[TRest]

The headband was countering his cold symptoms.

 

[Stainmaster]

Yes, refraining from posting a selfie would have measurably affected his performance on the court. Right on.

I’m chalking this up to a cold or something bc he did not look well at all. But if he was fine then that’s a problem bc he looked like he quit at the end. Wasn’t a good look. He’s not playing like a guy who wants to be drafted.

Is this sarcasm or is he actually sick? Because a bunch of guys looked lethargic and an illness would make a lot of sense

I think the only thing this post accomplished was that the OP ousted himself as a weirdo for when Jalen got the screenshot notification lol.

Quite frankly(TM), and this has nothing to do with the Instagram post, he just doesn't have the right attitude to be a leader and the desire to improve and dominate. He hasn't shown it in 3+ years, it's not going to appear all of a sudden.

He's not Kemba, Shabazz, or even Boatright. I don't blame it all on him -- a better coach would have drawn more out of him over the previous 3 years -- but this is who he is.

Ok. Remind us again why Jalen put up 2 points and 4 turnovers vs Manhattan?

Because he took a selfie before the game.

IDENTITY THEFT IS NOT A JOKE, JIM! MILLIONS OF FAMILIES SUFFER EVERY YEAR!

 

[uconnphil2016]

Because he took a selfie before the game.

It’s not about the selfie itself. He’s distracted by dumb stuff before the game and clearly lacks leadership skills. I don’t think it’s an ‘old man yells at cloud’ moment to suggest that him posting selfies about his wardrobe in the locker room is a bad idea

 

[smoothcriminal]

To be clear, 90 percent of what I posted wasn’t about the model session pregame. Lot of frustration bout his lack of urgency and passion on the court. Model sesh just adds to the frustration.

Jalen prob had a hangover

Jalen has pretty much looked lethargic all season. Tonight was the worst but he always looks kind of gassed and his play has been sloppy. I really don't get it.

 

[tcf15]

I voted yes

 

[zls44]

I voted yes

prepare the gallows!

 

[ThabeetDown]

If he's playing sick he still should be putting up more than 2 pts vs Manhattan, or he shouldn't be playing. That is not a valid excuse if you put on the uniform you give 100% which he clearly didn't. As a senior leader this is unacceptable. You're of course allowed bad games, but this wasn't a bad game. This was purely a lack of effort and I hope Hurley is as disappointed as OP.

Definitely the worst game I have seen Jalen play. He looked totally lost out there. His expression was priceless going back to the bench. I guess coupled with the Florida State game he has had two pretty bad games. He is due a good game.

I’m guessing he’s sick. Only Cliff should sport the headband, though.

 

[Ajs120102]

I love Jalen. Has kinda that Rudy gay feel where you just know you could squeeze so much more out of that Orange. But I’m excited to see when hurley brings in those guys that buy in from day one. That’s where we will see the progress. Jalen has been a great husky for sticking around and not transferring but I’m not gunna miss the frustration

 

[JB75]

While Watching the game with my father he turned to me and said “doesn’t Jalen look sick to you or strange looking “ I said , yeah he looked like pale or something. Maybe the headband made his face look tighter or something. He just looked lethargic as hell. Not a good look. Never want to think about this game again. However , it was nice and refreshing to see Wilson Whaley and Kwintin in there late in the game just to mix some things up - tired of the same old front line

 

[AntG168]

Jalen was terrible. He hasn’t really been good yet this yr. He’s been the third best guard imo. Rique and CV have been more impactful. Jalen needs to come up a couple of levels or conference play is going to be rough

Hurley literally read my thread
