He doesn't shy away when put in a pressured situation, he just doesn't have the consistency to always pull it out for you in an end of game situation. He gets confidence when he does well on the offensive end, and seems to fade on poor shooting nights rather than if the game picks up. It's him vs. his mind in that regard.

I'm guessing we will see a lot of variations of the zone read as well. For whatever reason this whole discussion reminded of of TCU and Dalton beating Clemson on 2009. I just remembered all of my Clemson friends lamenting over Dalton running for almost 100 on them. After digging back into the game Clemson's OC at the time actually cited Dalton's running success to a variation of the read option that TCU unveiled for that specific game. I actually found a decent article on it along with a video of Dalton making Clemson's DE's look silly...

TCU's Inverted Veer Option

Attrition and turnover is the norm, not the exception, in college basketball.

...especially when the program is in major overhaul and recovery. Look at Duke and UNC: two of the top most consistent teams in the country. They have their fair share of attrition as well.

It stinks that the light didn't always stay on, because when it was ON, boy did it SHINE!

AMEN!

Since this announcement I have been wondering if he's NOT one of those athletes that steps up when under pressure, but instead one who shies away/folds. It's definitely unfortunate given all the talk about how Jalen's athletic potential was through the roof. I hope he finds somewhere else that may not put as much pressure on him and allow him to succeed and reach his potential.

I thought it was already announced he was transferring from Ocean Lakes to Bishop Sullivan (where Chris Scott is coaching now)?

He is the read man. If he crashes hard on the zone, the QB keeps and runs outside. If he stays outside, the QB gives the ball.

In my big column on this topic (second in my series), Andy Dalton was fast enough to run away from JJ Watt using this scheme. I like the odds for a guy like Evans, Motley, or Lawson to have success.
