Maybe we should fire Bruce Pearl and hire Genes Chin then
I never said Bruce isn't working on fixing it. Not his fault Bowers is Bowers. He would shoot FTs underhanded if I was coach though
Despite only 7 scholarship players, Pearl has decreased Bowers' minutes, taken him out of the starting lineup and taken him out of the offensive game plan as a primary weapon.
Pearl is trying to hard to not let Bowers do Bowers things. Bowers is determined to not let it happen

Instead of wasting time on Bowers I would just play Granger.
Bowers post defense sucks anyway so you really wouldn't be losing anything there.
Granger even comes up with a few blocks every now and then on D.
Layups - Granger
Free Throws- Granger
Blocks - Granger
Stretching Defense - Granger
Rebounds - Bowers
Turnovers - Even... Both will turn it over

I hated on Granger, but I have been impressed. He isn't great but he isn't nearly the liability and is always good for some momentum dunks

Purifoy is retaking his SAT/ACT in hopes of being able to play this year.

Thank God. I've suggested this a month ago.

I wonder why it has taken this long? I noticed he wasn't with the team last night
Posted on 1/6/16 at 12:17 pm to AUtigR24
My guess is he either found some way to cheat the 2nd time or thought he got lucky and couldn't get another score that high.

Has he done it already? I've heard people talk about him being eligible before February

One of the reporters pointed out that retaking it is sort of an admission of guilt. If he really took it and they can't prove otherwise, why is it on him to retake it?

The way it was worded lead me to believe he hasn't yet. Someone else googled it and according to them the next time the ACT is offered is 2/6 with the scores being posted at the earliest by 2/17. Not even sure it is worth it at this point if that is true.

reporters indicated Purifoy taking the SAT/ACT again is an admission of guilt?
Totally BS. How do they know that? It only means the rules that appy on the SAT reflect the need to verify the second score as truly indicative.
To say they are saying Purifoy did something wrong is not fair to the young man.

How? If I know I'm guilty and will score close to a 13 again, I'm running as far away from the mulligan as possible.

Not necessarily. (not choosing to disagree with everything you say today - I promise)
When I moved states, Alabama mishandled the transfer of one of my licenses to Georgia. I opened a case and pursued it for a while but a few weeks into it I decided to go ahead and retake everything in Georgia. They expedited my application and I was back to billing clients within a month. Would've taken 3x as long just to get my case reviewed had I waited.
Eventually you've gotta decide if playing time or waiting is in your best interest. If he can pass the ACT then there is little reason not to

On what I remember as two consecutive plays last night (or close to it), I remember Bowers getting a steal in the lane and then trying to jump over a guy who fell to the floor so he could dribble down-court and in doing so turned the ball over.
Then next time down-court (or close to it) Granger got a steal in the lane, covered up the ball and protected it until he was able to dish the ball off to a ballhandler.
Cinmeon Bowers in a nutshell, ladies and gentlemen.

The reporter was pro Purifoy but talking about the perception etc. The ACT clearly does not have enough evidence to throw out his score, he shouldn't be punished because they can't authenticate properly.
Think of it this way, if Auburn lost all their graduation files, is it now on me to go back and repeat college to prove I have a degree?

Don't get me wrong, I would prefer the retake ACT and get eligible approach. I see that argument and wish it happened. Just offering one argument presented for why something seemingly "obvious" didn't happen
I think what the reporter kind of alluded to is that there is more too it than just the score. NCAA has no issue retroactively taking away eligibility and just being on scholarship has requirements.
When I read it, sounded almost like the NCAA can get on board dropping it if he gets grades and sat out a year. If he retakes and is eligible, it feels less like he got punished if he did something wrong
Idk, just a point that a reporter made

What reporter are you talking about?
Posted on 1/6/16 at 1:44 pm to GenesChin
I see the connection, for sure. I'll be honest, I'm convinced in my mind that Purifoy probably cheated somehow 
Hopefully he's had some quality ACT tutoring in the fall

I have thought that the whole time. Military prep school or not, an eleven point jump is highly irregular.

Where did the 11 point jump come from? I've seen it posted a few times too. Fwiw I heard it was a only a 7 pt jump from 16 to 23.

So what happens if he doesn't get the score needed on this attempt? Can he continue to practice ect... What's worst case scenario here?
