Two days after his dismissal from Auburn’s baseball team, Hunter Kelley said he remains “in shock.” The former Alexandria High star said there was no lead-up.
First-year Auburn coach Sunny Golloway called out names in the locker room after a 3-2 loss to East Tennessee State on Sunday. Those players met with the coach individually in his office.
When it was over, Kelley was among three players no longer with the team.
“When I came back to the locker room, I had six players crying in my arms,” he said. “It was hard. It was like somebody cut my heart out. I’ve played ball my whole life.”
Kelley, a senior outfielder and returning starter from 2013, was the one player dismissed from the team. Senior first baseman Patrick Savage and junior pitcher Chase Williamson apparently took Golloway’s offer to quit.
“When I got in there,” Kelley said, “he just started off by saying, ‘Hunter, I don’t think you’ll be able to help this program this year. I just don’t think your attitude should be in this program.’
“Me, of course, I was devastated. I didn’t know what he was talking about. It just kind of blew me away because, these are my brothers, and I’ve played ball all my life. I’ve never heard anybody tell me that.”

I'm already calling for his head on the Auburn board, so don't point fingers at me

It's already mid season?
As for the processed player, we were going to suck with or without him...

Then why not let him finish his senior season? I would think the coach gets a pass for this season.

You would have to ask the coach.

I guess these questions are only relevant when it's auburn fans flaming every other coach in The SEC?

He apparently has a bad attitude. Idgaf about baseball but surely the coach had a good reason, if not then he's just as bad as Saban.

I would rather he still be on the team, so...

Even though there's probably more to this story than what he's telling, I don't agree with what happened (unless he was somehow prohibiting team chemistry, etc)

Hunter Kelley is a good kid who has always demonstrated a great attitude. This is nonsense.

Didn't we take 2/3 from arky last year?

Wow. That's fricked up. Make your cuts in the fall/winter. I've never seen a coach do it like that.
Played against Patrick Savage pretty regularly in high school. He was a good ball player. I feel for him.

sometimes you have to pull a few weeds before you plant the seeds.
