If you guys lose him and Cooper after this year that's gonna sting, isn't it? I know Cooper was expected to probably leave, but Powell was a piece to build around.

No idea. I'd ask an insider if we had one.

I think even the “insiders” were as caught off guard as us pions. It’s definitely a big kick in the nuts.

The only thing that makes any sense is that he didn’t like that they wouldn’t clear him medically to play. I have no idea though. Atleast there’s time to get someone else in.

It sucks, bro.

I could see him going to Kentucky or Louisville now.

I have a VIP sub to 24/7 and it took everybody by surprise. Interesting that Rupps Rafter folks have talked about it for a good while. Don't reckon Calipussy would tamper, do you?

Probably didn’t like the way Auburn handled his injury. I imagine he probably felt like he could come back sooner and Auburn kept saying no. Cant blame the school tho, they were doing what they thought was in his best interest.

If Oats wants to reach out the Kid can shoot.

Just looked and the Kid is from the Louisville area of Kentucky..... Could possibly just transfer back home

That’s a bummer. Hate that for us. Hope the kid gets healthy and plays somewhere. He was our best shooter by a mile. We will miss him.

We will be ok regarding Powell in terms of having good players to play at the 2 and 3. But this stings in that he was fun to watch, could have provided depth at the 1, and transfers always make the Auburn fan in me believe the sky is falling.

The words rats and sinking ship come to mind.

Powell probably sees what Cooper (minus the NBA 1st round draft pick money) sees and wants out while the gettin is good. He sees that the in state rival Alabama's head coach owns his head coach head to head and that he probably won't win a conference championship ring having to play Alabama and Arkansas twice the next 2 or 3 years. He might not be able to play in the NCAA tournament again next season when the NCAA is finished handing out penalties.

He probably wants to avoid all that

He had a very bad concussion.

Maybe he was homesick.

Good luck to him.

Powell is Lexington bound if the SEC changes the transfer rule.

I tweeted GTFO and next thing I know he left. I had no idea I had that much influence.
