Message: [QUOTE="Scrutineer, post: 2960796, member: 8240"] Jalen was a 5 star (#23 on Rivals) who hasn't lived up to that ranking thus far. Maybe the insiders can enlighten us casual fans about the reason(s). So many maybies. Maybe he wasn't pushed hard enough the last several years or maybe it comes down to his heart isn't in it as much as we all think it should be based on his ranking. Or maybe basketball came so easily to him growing up he assumed he could advance to the NBA just by going along as he always had. If that's the case, it's his choice and he'll have to live with it. There's a lot of talented people that don't achieve what was expected of them. The feeling I get from reading these posts is a lot of people are frustrated because they want him to be a success for his own sake as well as the effect it would have on the team and that frustration that might wrongfully be interpreted as bitterness towards him.
