Well I think this thread is pretty much derailed, but I'd be shocked if Jalen left after next year.
If he does, that means he's had a pretty tremendous year, and I think I would be OK with that. He is extremely talented, but still needs to improve big time in a few areas to help replace what we lose with Stain. I think he's going to have a really uphill battle getting drafted because of his age, so I could also see him staying all four years just because the publicity would be a tremendous boost to his stock. I really do think he could play in the NBA someday if he really focuses and fine tunes his game.
But, I could also see him leaving a little earlier than he should, a la Derrick Brown, and maybe going overseas after a year or two of fighting to make a roster.

He plays like he did last night for 35 games next season and he will (and should) be gone.

I love Jalen, but I hope pro basketball is the reason he leaves Xavier early. He has a bit of a history with us, so I have this gnawing fear that won't be the case.

I agree that the 4 star should be a big. The 3.5 star should be an athletic wing that can lock down on defense. Point guard for the last spot. It's the hardest job to learn, but I have faith our coaches can work with the players at that skill set coming in.

Gottlieb is a fool. Jalen is at best a 2nd rounder now. He absolutely has to stay next year to prove he can play consistently through out the season and keep the techs down. Jalen will also be the defensive down low focus for other teams and he needs to show he can handle that. How much of his success this year was due to Stain being double teamed. Physically he is ready but his game is not and he will get eaten up at the next level right now.
