3 2 1 ... Go

I really fed for this guy. I cannot remember the last UConn star who fizzled out so dramatically in what should be his greatest year. Not one with the numbers coming into this season. I think he needs a break and perhaps some counseling. I’m not just saying that. An athletes confidence is his most important asset. He has none.

 

[Mooch82]

I’ve never been more disappointed in a UConn basketball player than I am with Jalen this year. It’s pathetic.

 

[KodiacKemba]

What offense we running Hurley..??

 

[Tenspro2002]

For a guy who came in thinking NBA, he sure hasn't been willing to put in the work on his game.

Yes, he had an atrocious coach and role model for 3 years, but you'd think even a little internal motivation would be enough to get him going. He doesn't have it.

 

[WrenchFan69]

I'd feel worse for him if he took his college career seriously at really any point. It's never just been about getting better and winning for him.

 

[k-walk]

Pretty sure he’s already on vacation

I honestly think he's done as a basketball player. I'm not being hyperbolic, every once in a while an athlete completely hits the wall and everything goes south. He's never had the right mentality but his game has also left him and with that it's complete disinterest. He just sort of floats around out there, would rather be anywhere other than a basketball court nowadays.

Hard to believe and sad that when he came into UConn we thought we were getting a kid who would be an underclassmen leaving for a huge NBA payday.

This is crazy. Yes, Jalen probably had a top 3 most disappointing career in UConn history. No, he isn't going to quit basketball.

 

[LIuconn]

has another player ever pushed and challenged for his spot over his career?

 

[Hi-Low]

He doesn't care, he's already made reservations for Greece or wherever he'll spend the next 10 years playing in oblivion.

 

[methodology]

As bad as a day he's having he's still diving on the floor and playing hard. I don't believe he doesn't care and doesn't want to win.

No one knows what's going on underneath the surface. Just hope he pulls out of this funk and turns things around quickly

 

[dannyHAM]

He just doesn't care. Pointless to watch him at this point.

 

[casual-yardin]

Idiotic. Kid put up something like 25/6/4/3 three days ago playing 38 minutes. This thread is peak 'yardin.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

At least he’ll forever be in hype videos because of that 70 foot shot

 

[EBonz30]

I remember getting killed because I said it doesn’t really matter & I don’t really care much if J. Adams returns for his senior year, looks like I was right...

I do it for a living, go into different environments, operations, locations to clean it up & make it a better overall culture & operation. 90 percent of the time your better off starting from scratch & let the previous leaders move on.

 

[ThatUconnFan]

The crazy thing is he was better than his high school teammate Donovan Mitchell during their Brewster days. Starting to look like he'll be flipping paddies at McDonalds in a few years at this rate

You must not watch the games closely

 

[AAC Guru]

Greece sounds pretty sweet to me.

 

[Dove]

He'll always have that 70-footer v. Cincinatti.

Did you actually watch the game or just look at his stats?

Not the time

Disappointed

At least you will have a somewhat famous coworker.

He may not have a choice. If he is disinterested now, just wait until he is playing in front of 500 fans in a small village in Finland in the dead of winter.
