Jasper didn't have a good first season in Lexington, and his uncle went on a rant about how fans mistreated him. But in the end, there are rumors that Jasper would like to stay and prove himself. I really hope he does; he has a lot of talent. But he honestly could have benefitted from the Braydon Hawthorne plan and redshirted a year. It wasn't fair to him that he had to play point because he was not ready for that.

I think he stays, but it's close.
