Do you think the Jalil thing is a "toughness" issue that Sonny has alluded to last year? From my understanding, he had surgery (at the end of the year) to repair some cartilage, which was bothering him. It is my understanding that this is a pain issue and he was actually cleared to practice and play.
Now we are holding him out for spring (this makes 1 full year) for seemingly a pain issue...I was really high on Jalil after his freshman, but I'm not really going to expect from him this year, sads.
I believe that he ended up getting micro-fracture surgery as well - certainly nothing related to toughness. It is really difficult to play with that type of chronic knee pain. If the surgery went well, he should be a full strength for the summer and into the season.
