I don't care either way. I wasn't pushing for him to leave as I think he has some talent and could come good. But in the modern era, it doesn't surprise me he'd leave to see if a fresh start will help him since we recruited over him.

I would object to any insinuation by him or his family that we wronged him in some fashion - Bruce gave him the starting role for way longer than he deserved and despite ample opportunity he never really took advantage of the opportunity. No ill will from me as I don't think he did anything wrong, he just never really got anything going.

He’s got talent.

He is not a plug and play for “Sears.”

IF he works diligently improving his at the rim finishes, open threes, and breaking double teams, Aden could live up to his talent.

He was given every opportunity to produce at Auburn. He never quite got on track.

His comments may reflect him never having to deal with failure before in basketball. Some guys struggle and blame others. Some guys man up and get better.

He may get better, but he may not.

Aden has a lot of work to do to get on a draft board as a small guard. The problems are not insurmountable. The work will have to be done by him.

Oats is a good coach. Pearl is a good coach. Neither of them can shoot the ball for him or increase his physicality. The hard work of improving will be up to Aden.
