This is good to hear. We need Jelon.

This is good to hear. We need Jelon.

That we do, even more going forward than at anytime this season.

We're so thin inside that our guard play needs to be great and we need to be deep at guard. Before his injury I thought Jelon was going to be a big part of what we do. I still think that. He is probably our second best passer after Woodard and has always been a good rebounding guard. If he picks his spots to score he'll make a big impact. I think he could be averaging 6-7 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. Those aren't numbers that would blow you away, but that would have won us a game against LaTech and given us a shot at the end against MSU and KU.

Edit: I also used to think he was one of our best defensive guards. We may miss him more on that end. Playing injured he has been fouling a ton on defense, but maybe once he is healthy and up to game speed that will end.

That is right. We can not win consistently at a high level without Jelon playing well.
