Good, hopefully he's completely out of the program.

No more time for his shite.

I remember right after senior day, someone on twitter posted something that basically said Alabama did Shannon wrong by not even acknowledging him on Senior Night and he retweeted it.
He's probably mad and quit

Well, when you put hardly no effort on the court and have a terrible attitude, you don't deserve to get recognized. Sucks for him, but it's his own fault. Glad Avery isn't scared of kicking a player out for being a cancer in the locker room.

Some Auburn people believe that Bama has made up some significant ground on Diante Wood.

Early reports were that Bruce & Co weren't ready to take his commitment early when ew could have got it. Now it seems like we are in a fight to hold onto whatever lead we had

Auburn had the ability to close that one out from all indications and we didn't jump on it.

I think Bruce & Co have underestimated just how big the Alabama fandom pull in this state is both from the kids/people around them.


Unless Auburn starts winning consistently relative to Alabama, they won't ever have gimme prospects in the state

I also think it helps that Avery was able to get basically all the top recruits in the state of Alabama for 2017. When the next class' top recruits are choosing between Bama and Auburn, I know that's something that matters to some players a little

Maybe, but it is way way down the list and not quite what you are claiming. Not like Alabama just sweeped up Alabama holding everyone else back

1- Alabama only signed 2 of the top 5 if you include Wiley
2- Auburn would have only taken commitments from Wiley / Petty/ Brooks instate


To be honest, I think both Bama/AU got burned by not keeping Brooks instate. He is significantly better than people realize, UNC was recruiting him very seriously

His dad coaches at MSU which is how that happened

I wish Dickie V would retire. I'm so sick of him ruining games. Obnoxious arse.

I don't like Jay Bilas either. He loves to hear himself talk too much imo

A lot of these announcers are under the misconception that we watch so we can get their input. The truth is, we watch in spite of the fact, that we have to hear their bullshite.

I wish they had did two streams of each game.

1- Normall BS announcers just get better ones

2- Coaches etc who do a better job drawing up the plays and explaining what happened

They did it for the NC game in football and it was awesome. Those guys weren't even pro announcers

Whoever's easier I guess. We swept both, but I feel State has more potential to beat us than LSU. I would hate to lose to either.
