Shut up!

I just don't like the BS evasiveness that's been happening with Sexton.

He'll either be in the line up on Friday, or he won't. That's all that really matters.

I'm either going to burn your house down or I'm not. That's all that really matters.





Some of us have been waiting a long time for this week.

I actually agree with you. It's not just about whether he will travel, I feel like they misled everyone this entire time. Just be honest and upfront.

Why would he not travel? He was on the bench Monday and is practicing, so it doesn't seem like he's suspended from team activities.

That's what I thought, but then it was pointed out that CAJ didn't answer the question.

There might be a NCAA technicality about traveling with an ineligible guy.

Well when asked if he'll travel, why can't CAJ just say, "We don't know. Have to see what the NCAA decides first"? That would be a clear answer

"No new updates" says the same thing.

No it doesn't. It says, "We're not telling you if we know anything or not."

Avery Johnson's answer to questions about Collin Sexton's eligibility & potential reinstatement: "No new updates."

If there's no new updates, you go back to the last update. Which was "his eligibility has not been reinstated."

Which doesn't answer the question, which was, "Will he travel with the team?"

It's the only answer you were going to get for any question about Colin.

Would have gotten the same answer if you asked Avery how Colin's hair looked today.

If someone wants that answer bad enough, go post up at the airport for a few hours.

Hypothetically speaking, say Sexton doesn't get reinstated until SEC play. What games in OOC now turn from easy Ws- or games you felt confident about- turn into losses?

BYU, Rhode Island, and Texas really worry me now. There is no March Madness for us if we don't secure some good wins.

No new updates means nothing has changed.

Avery's been the most upfront and media-friendly coach we've had. I'm sure if he finds out something new that he can share, he'll announce it. Y'all are getting irritated by the wrong people. The NCAA is the most incompetent and slow-moving organization ever formed.

Sounds like Pearl is about to get canned for not cooperating

Yep. Auburn asked him to cooperate and he won't do it. They said his jobs on the line if he doesn't. They could make a decision on him in the next week or two according to the espn report
