I wonder what Jalen Jones is thinking now...

It would be interesting to know what he really thinks about his decision to transfer...

He made the right decision for him. Sterling Brown was gonna gobble up all of his minutes anyway. Getting recruited over sucks. Get in line w/ J-Frog and Bernardi.

Jalen's game is different, he had more "take it to the hoop" approach. I think he made a mistake and that he would have given us another option. I wish him the best though and I hope he doesn't regret it.

Absolutely, hope it is not a decision he regrets. Can't help but wondering though

The way he left the program, demanding guaranteed playing time and bailing at the last minute, I hope he does regret it. I hope the door hit him on the way out.

He's the only transfer that I've ever felt that way about, just because of how he went about it.

Not sure about that logic? JJ and Sterling play different positions. Whatever his reason, JJ decided to leave. It is what it is but to suggest he would not have gotten minutes is crazy. He would be firmly in the rotation.

I think it's a pretty interesting question, actually. Jalen is a missing piece for this team. His bailing was a clear mistake, and if he's honest with himself I will bet he's kicking himself daily.

It's hard to imagine how this season could have gone much better for us so far to date, so I'm not going to cry over spilled milk. He's an adult who made a decision he thought was best for him. I wish him all the best at A&M.

Demanded guaranteed minutes at the three or he will transfer? And transfer last minute mind you.

You're too forgiving junior.

He's not thinking about us, he's thinking about how much of a cult atmosphere it is in the dump known as college station

I am sure he is fine and looking forward to his future at aTm. His minutes were given to Ben Moore so that he could develop so it was a win win situation. Now let's move on. Beat UCF.
