This kid is an absolute highlight reel. If someone can get him to be a team player, he'll be a solid contributor.

If team chemistry was as strong on the AU team as reported (and there's no reason to believe otherwise), and they couldn't reel Jakhi in, I doubt anybody else would be able to.

Since AU is on a plain. I can see why he's leaving, then.

Somebody will give him a chance.

I hope he makes the most of it.

To JH's credit, I think he *mostly* kept it together and was a reasonably good teammate down the stretch after some more notable issues earlier.

Most of us would have liked to keep him. I hope that he can reach his potential elsewhere so long as it's not against us.

Dude seemed like he was in a good position to be significant player for Auburn this upcoming year or Auburn just don't want to give him a bag.

He didnt get the PT he wanted and I'm sure he was wanting more than wed want to give him. I think he could have made huge steps next year, but hopefully he can start somewhere else.

He pouted more than a sad clown when he played and didn't get the ball. He also used to smile and celebrate every time Chad-Baker Mazara did something stupid on the basketball court. Addition by subtraction.

Bucky is still trying to come to grips with the “cult” he just joined.

Mods on one of the pay sites gave a flat no response to any chance he returns so that looks to be out of the question. Looks to be NIL related.

Doesn’t surprise me in the least. Kid is a head case. Million dollar talent with a 10-cent brain.

I was always pulling for Jakhi. But whoever takes his talent must also accept the issues he causes in the locker room and planes. I trust Bruce.
