Anthony Grant announced that he had suspended Tony Mitchell for the remainder of the season
So what the heck happened here? Is Tony Mitchell gone for good? How is Grant viewed in Tuscaloosa?

Grant's insanely popular in Tuscaloosa. BTW welcome to three weeks ago.

My guess is Mitchell doesn't play again, but there's an out for him to come back if he wants to stop being a moron.
Basically he pouted and whined all year. According to Grant it was an "accumulation" of things and while these are only leaks it appears that the final straw was him getting into it with a trainer/assistant coach during and after the Ole Miss game. Most people are glad to see him go, but if he grew up a bit he'd be a good player to have around next year.
As for Grant, its just like most places. Some people are totally convinced and some people bitch about every little thing. Most people are in between, but I'd say the opinion of him is generally favorable. But he needs to get us back to being a consistent tournament team.

Mitchell done for the year. No word about next year even though he is a junior. Mitchell had a prima donna attitude but there has to be more to the story that is presently unknown to the public. Mitchell suspended for "conduct detrimental to the team" based on an "accumulation of things." No one knows for sure why Green, Releford and Steele were suspended.
Grant is presently viewed as a disciplinarian who is in charge of his program like a new "sheriff" taking over a rogue program left behind by CMG.
There will be few repercussions if he gets this team into the tournament, and his team certainly responded with a huge win over Tennessee. Team is 2-2 without Mitchell, beating TN and AU and losing to LSU (4 suspensions) and FL.
