Through most of the of 2022-2023 season I assumed that Jesse would be moving on after the season completed.

As a Dutchie, I got to meet him a couple of times before and after this year's GA Tech game.  He's a great guy.
He was very happy that his parents were coming for the Senior Day game at the Dome.  It was also good to see him with his (Dutch, Syracuse FH) girlfriend at the ceremony.

As I now look back at things, I can actually see why, after this season's ending, he would consider returning for his bonus year.

The 2021-2022 season ended with his injury.  While the Senior Game this year was a fun event, the overall season was a bit disappointing.  I can see him looking back at the 2021 NCAA tournament and getting excited about being a starting center in the upcoming tournaments.  Only for those to never happen...

I believe that he wants to make the most of his career.  An opportunity to play in the NBA.  Represent his country in international games.  And, perhaps give the NCAA tournament one more shot.

With JJ joining the team and if Judah stays, I can see the staff convincing him to give it another go.
Get some more experience and build the upper body a bit more and he might have a shot at an NBA opportunity.

Hopefully that's what happens and I get a chance to meet up with him again.  :)
