Jalen Carey was our guy. We identified him early, built the relationship, and had a plan and future for him. Now, Battle came back, and when he did that changed the immediate direction of things for Carey, plus he got injured, but he was a guy at one point that was expected to be a critical, build-around-him part of the team.
He accomplished very little on court for us and is now in the portal.
Brycen Goodine was our guy. Camped, mutual love, we locked him up very early and very quietly. He was considered a critical part of the class, likely early contributor, possible push as a starter. A guy that GMAC got a lot of credit for when it all got locked in early.
He accomplished very little on court for us and is now in the portal.
If people want to say no big loss, they weren't as good as we thought, ok...
Why weren't they as good as the staff thought?
This is a problem.
