if I'm understanding correctly they're trying to assimilate the boy into their new system and he's just not cooperating. I don't follow college players, but there was apparently a lot of dirt on the dude coming into the draft on this subject. believe me, I agree with you that if you could salvage something from Jenkins based on his draft status, I would. Pace set the team back with his outlandish trade scenarios, this being one of them.
I think Eberflus/Poles are trying to set a precedent that if you want to be a dickhead, you get out. maintaining the locker room will pay dividends over time.
