re: Replace This With The Basketball Off-Season Thread

Auburn has contacted Kira

Arizona, Uconn, Miami, Baylor, Providence, Northwestern, Pitt, Nevada, Iowa State, Indiana, Georgia, TCU and Auburn are also involved with top available transfer Kira Lewis

Only if we had a Davidson type center

Maybe he popped off after Avery was fired

Few things make me melt. Kira going to Auburn would be one of them

but if he is not committed to the school then that’s on him

Let's be realistic, for a second. And I'm not talking to anyone specifically. But, what do they have to be committed to at this time? They don't have a coach. And, all they do have is however many years of shitty coaching and little success. Why should they be committed right now?

I get tired of every time a player has a bad game, or decides to transfer, or, in this case, opens up his options to talk to other teams about transferring, our fans turn on them personally. I know this isn't just an Alabama problem. Fans do it everywhere. But it's also an Alabama problem. After every game there was a new list of basketball players that "fricking sucked." The truth is, some of them probably aren't great. But, why do you feel the need to overdo it and pretend that they're "terrible" and "selfish" and "a cancer" or whatever? It's just kids trying to play basketball.

Teague, I agree with you mostly. But attitudes like Petty are probably part of the problem. Yes, Alabama failed on their end of the deal for his first two years. But now they are trying to fix it. But Petty just says frick it, I’m gone, even though we might bring in a home run hire, nobody knows yet.

Fine, get yo’ bitch arse outta here then. I hope we hire Donovan just so you see what a horrible choice you made by being a bitch.

It’s a two way street. I understand players keeping all options available to them. I don’t understand players copping an attitude when we get rid of a nice guy but a loser coach.

You’re not the only one. You should look at all the Bama fan responses to Goodman’s tweet about him transferring regardless. We have some of the worst fans sometimes.

We are fans. That means we stick with our team through good times and bad. Players often don't have that relationship with the school and never will though. They see it as a means to an end rather than some sort of ideal. We want them to feel the way we do though, so when they indicate a desire to leave and go play elsewhere people tend to take it personally even though they really shouldn't.
