Desi Sills will not be joining the Auburn basketball roster after all.
The Arkansas transfer guard who committed to the Tigers on April 20 and signed last month announced Tuesday that he will instead play for Arkansas State next season.
The issue was not playing time, but rather academic credits for his major at Arkansas not properly transferring to make him immediately eligible, per multiple reports

None of these guys do their own school work anyways. Not sure why this happens.

Not often you can laugh at both schools involved. Auburn for losing the transfer and Arkansas for being such a poor school Auburn wouldn't accept the credits.

Sucks for Desi but he wasn't going to get much more playing time at AU than he was a Ark. He needs to go to a mid-major.
St. Johns with Mike Anderson seems like a great landing spot if he wants to stay in a "power" conference.

The barn must have a high standard for their Stagecoach Driving, Barber College, and Frontend Alignment degrees.

Sorry that our basketball players aren't splitting atoms and curing cancer like the athletes at Alabama.

Guess that recreation degree isn’t so great

Modern day Stagecoach Driving (Airline Pilot) has AU grads being paid twice as much as those UA Law Grads within 10 years of graduating. Most will be making in the 250K range at that point in their career.

Not necessarily correct. Perhaps he had Ds in several courses and Auburn (or most any other university for that matter) would not accept those hours, but he had grades in other courses high enough to maintain the minimum GPA to stay eligible at his current institution. Since those hours won't transfer, all because the effort was not expended to make the grades, the player is ineligible elsewhere.
Sometimes you have to place blame where it's due and that is at the feet of the individual.

Aubie's registrars office was confused when Desi tried to pay THEM to attend Aubie. That and they couldn't read the cursive when he signed his name.

Considering he would have been on scholarship…

Now I'm really looking forward to the "Arik Gilbert admitted and enrolled at UGA" thread in a couple months where it explains UGA did not accept his 5 Failed classes and only let the ones he passed go with him.

Anyone know what Cardale is doing these days?

I'm shocked to find out an athlete has several Ds which won't transfer.

Maybe Bruce should check academics before going after kids. Although based on his seedy reputation we know he doesn’t.
Desi wasn’t going to be a big addition anyways, Aubies didn’t know what they were talking about when bragging about landing him.
