I mean I like the Oats hire but if Coach K says listen you come, sit out, take over as our starting PG in 2021........yea I very much get being intrigued by that. No issues with it.


If he thinks he can get a waiver I'd understand it a bit more. If you can play you can play and NBA scouts will find you. Sitting out a year will almost certainly hurt his career more than transferring to Duke will help it. He knows he's the starter here. With Duke, you never know which next big thing they are going to sign while you're sitting on the bench in street clothes doing nothing.

My thoughts exactly. Stay at Alabama and you know you’re going to be THE MAN. Go to Duke and see how fast they recruit over you.

I understand why he's taking his time with the decision. And our fans didn't help with the bullshite on twitter during the season. But, I really can't see him leaving.

From reading a Buffalo forum, it appears that Adam Bauman is another staff member that's left Buffalo for Alabama. I imagine he will be our new director of basketball operations: LINK

There were people arguing with his mom on twitter, in addition to the normal, ignorant player bashing.

If someone wants to transfer because they got their twitter feelings hurt then more power to them

If a lot of the fans of the team I play for are telling me I suck and I'm the reason we lost, I'd definitely be looking to explore my options.


Also, everyone that did that are pieces of shite and I would love for the university to find them and ban them from all university events.

So we now live in a world that some random idiots on twitter have that much control over someone's life?? If they can't deal with that shite, the real world will eat them alive.

Also, good luck finding the twitter idiots and banning them

Over a 17 year old? It was completely uncalled for and I don't blame him at all for exploring his options.

With people going by their actual names, its not hard to figure out who many of them are. Hell, half of them probably have their Twitter, Facebook, instagram, etc. all linked together.

It might have been 17 year old kids doing it to Kira. I don't think people should do that kind of thing to anyone, but it shouldn't matter what idiots say.

I'm sure they all used their real name Hell, if Universities started banning twitter trolls, what would stop some random person that knows you, from starting a few accounts in your name and getting you banned?

What you are advocating is a very slippery slope

I know for some (including me ), if you mentioned Kira's name at all on twitter, his mom was searching his name and coming at you with a vengeance.

I don't even have twitter but if I did, I would give my honest opinion about whatever I wanted. I wouldn't tag anyone, but I'd still give my opinion

In my case, it wasn't tagging Kira or even saying anything derogatory about him. I can't speak for others that his mom would go after.

Bamafan might know better about that because he saw her going after lots of folks.
