Tray has always seemed to have maturity issues, but the whole "I was gonna leave anyway" comment just comes across as really bitchy and childish.

Good riddance. I hope he goes to louisville and we play them in a bowl in 2015 and light their arse up.

I dont recall his recruitment very well, but was he a prima donna during it?

I don't recall offhand anything really over the top, but it may be just because he was ours so I may have not really noticed.

What's crazy is that he was an EE and skipped going on spring break last spring so he could study the playbook and get focused on clemson. I thought "wow, this kid is way ahead of the curve mentally for a freshman". But as time went on it seemed like he got corrupted. Probably by wiggins. It seemed like him and shaq just wanted to cut up and ham it up and do whatever they wanted. Hell shaq even said in a release when he left that that's why he's leaving.

Not really, but he was supposedly good friends with Foster so theres that.

He was a bit of an attention whore, but there wasn't anything to indicate that it would be this bad.

I think he bought into his own hype a lot and being given the starting job as a freshman didn't help matters.

Tray is obviously not that smart because he can't shut up.

The worst thing he could have done was this interview and those remarks while true or just embellished somewhat did nothing to take that turd of his head. He should have deleted his twitter account before he activated it.

Can you imagine all the signs in the Auburn stands when they play Louisville in 2015?

That's going to be some funny shite.

I'm not sure why everyone is so convinced that AU is interested. AU itself hasn't said one.single.thing. about this, the only reason they're even mentioned is because Tray said he was interested in them, but why should we take anything he says seriously?

I would be surprised if he goes anywhere other than louisville, unless some other school comes out publicly and says "yes, we're interested in taking him".

He won't be at Auburn

Caller on the 680 morning show was in the class (and he's pre-med)...said this was all overblown. Said very minor disruption in class and that he's surprised it got so big

Said Tray had perfect attendance, did all his work, had a great presentation, etc

I think the mention of AU and UL were his own personal goals, with no reciprocation as of yet.

That may be true, but Tray couldn't have any more hiccups, no matter how slight. He was done at the next hint of trouble.

I agree that he won't end up at AU.

Figured it had to be the final straw

Was kinda surprised he was still in school after trying to defraud the university though

I don't know enough about the specifics of that case to know why he wasn't dismissed. Maybe the staff was just giving him the benefit of the doubt that it was just youthful ignorance and was giving him another shot.

Two of those four are gone now. The other two are by all accounts doing everything that's been asked of them.

There was a post on another ga board from someone in the class as well. Apparently Tray would answer phone calls in the middle of class right there at his seat, which in a small maymester class you can imagine is pretty irritating. On the last day of class he was cutting up again and the teacher had enough and asked him to leave. Tray refused, and said something along the lines of "or else what?"

That may be minor in the grand scheme of life, but he was already one of the check cashing idiots from only a few months ago so was already on thin ice.

Aren't all four of those guys due in court today for those book selling charges? If so we will probably get another statement from Mr media101.

I wish this included the number of arrests for each team... Auburn has far less than most of the top schools, but the infractions and run-ins with the law were huge with Antonio Goodwin, Shaun Kitchens, Dakota Mosely and Mike McNeil. Without that one incident, Auburn would be way towards the bottom of the list.

It's a well known fact that Auburn typically has very few arrests. It's also a fact that the only reason Auburn is so high, is because of the Felony 4 and their idiotic mistakes.
