Jelly

Fantastic article--a lot of times we get caught up in the amazing things Jelly has done on the floor, but even bigger than that, he is a genuinely good human and great ambassador for UAB. He is forever a Blazer, and I hope it is the last time we ever see a #10 worn.

Yeah, that was an amazing read. Going to miss Jelly when he moves on.

Hoping Jelly comes back anytime he wants after he’s done in the pros. It is nice having guys like Steve Mitchell, Mo Finley etc around

Jelly is an all time great. When we got him from Tulane if somebody had told us this was how his career was going to play out, we never would have believed it. I hope he stays involved with the program forever.

I want to see Jelly on a roll to end his UAB career!

Best offensive player I’ve seen at UAB. Quite possibly the best all around. I will miss watching him play.

Redding the article made me think.. I don’t think anyone has said we were better without him. We were better without him taking 30+ shots a game, not playing defense, and not facilitating the offense with other players.

He is an exceptional college player. We were without a doubt worse off without him. The team plays its best when he is involved on defense, shooting a little less, and facilitating more; that is no knock on him by any means.

Great article. Man, going to miss Jelly. Let’s hang up #10 in the rafters.

Only during the few games we won while he was out, they obviously didn't say anything about needing him when he was out and we LOST games.

Those 2-3 people were ridiculous but I hoped those dumb comments lit a fire inside him and he goes off again in the tournament. Since he's been back from injury, he's scored 20+ points in 6 out of 9 games and two of those were 32 and 41 point games.
