He doesn’t play…not sure how that affects them negatively on the field. SC isn’t hard to get up for or stay focused for by the way. Media and fans make it a distraction though and most in the program are at least bothered by the decision but it’s “All in or in the way” at the U. If he’s not all in he shouldn’t be shoulder to shoulder with any of them.
Jack is a great kid…high character, good teammate, etc. was well liked but made the decision to leave. He still has friends here and always will. That’s behind us now.
These kids have all grown up in an era where parents move kids around left and right when their kids don’t win a job, earn playing time or think they’re getting screwed by a coaching staff or a system. They hear it in the car, at the dinner table and in the media (at this level) and become convinced they’re getting hosed. The values of working hard, improving, committing everything you have to achieving a goal has given way to immediate satisfaction.
It’s completely normal to them now so it doesn’t freak them out as much as you’d think.
