To pass the baton. To rique and JAIII think Jalen needs to come back if we want to be good next year. The roster will be deeper and more well rounded but we need a leader and hopefully he’ll come back and be that guy.
if Jalen doesn't come back next year I don't see how it is not a rebuilding year. He needs to come back to improve his draft stock and for the team to reach their potentialI think Jalen needs to come back if we want to be good next year.

Just have to hope they are committed to UConn and not just Kevin Ollie.
“A lot of people are counting UConn out already,” he said. “My whole life I’ve been counted out.” (Akinjo)
None of it seems to faze their dedication to UConn. Look no further than how both players refer to the program as “we.”
“We have a lot of transfers, it’s kind of hard to work with a lot of transfers,” Matthews said. “Next year, we’ll have a clean start, almost a reset of the culture, and get back to being a powerhouse.”
Added Akinjo: “We’ve got some really good players. Sid (Wilson) is coming back, Alterique (Gilbert), we’ve got good freshmen coming in. I think I can come in and help them right away. Not try to come in and be anyone else, just do what I do.”

I like that he said "clean start". Because in order to reset the culture KO has to go. Sounds like he's cool with that.“Next year, we’ll have a clean start, almost a reset of the culture, and get back to being a powerhouse.”

Promising
A four and a three star recruit are reason to keep KO. With this kind of thinking he is unfireable.All the more reason to keep KO for next year
Akinjo is not just any four star recruit... he is up for California's gatorade player of the year (out of 8 players) and is largely considered to have been snubbed for a spot the McDonalds All American game. He is widely known to be underrated, and eager to prove himself.A four and a three star recruit are reason to keep KO. With this kind of thinking he is unfireable.
This place really is crazy town.
Actually, Matthews states that he loves uconn and is committed no matter who the coach is. Akinjo, however, is a different story. I don't see him coming here if KO is gone.Sounds more like the latter from all I've read.
