around4ever 4,139 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yes, he has left the program. It sounds like it may have been a mutual agreement. I wish him the best. http://www.al.com/au..._medium=twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 not too much of a surprise...Hope he finds some place to play but did not look like he was going to crack the line-up at AU with the new kids coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 He came to Auburn around 165. The only obvious math is that he was guaranteed to redshirt. Expect the same for Dinson. That's just too small. It's always a surprise when redshirt freshmen with zero time under the new staff leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind, a year ago Bessent was one of those "really good kids coming in". Just thought I'd point that out. I'm not saying you're wrong, because I don't know how things would've turned out had he stayed, but your logic isn't exactly rock solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept that...but considering that it looks like he is leaving more or less voluntarily it seems that both he and the AU coaches share my opinion.

No, we weren't one over. No team can ever be one or for that matter any over without severe penalties. We were not over the 85 limit. This month's signees don't count until they are in school and attending classes, so the 85 limit, at least until late May, had nothing to do with this. I was hoping Bessent would be a contributor this year. Best of luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still project numbers based on how many you have enrolled and how many you expect to enroll. It doesn't matter if you make room now, next week, or next month...if your current signing class is projected to take you over, then you need to make room. We would have been over by at least one.

Not until the new guys enroll and attend classes. By then the normal three or so that always quit after spring practice will be gone. Bessent leaving had nothing to do with the 85 limit.

He came in in the doghouse but I was hoping to hear his name called next year. We need playmakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooltigger21 0 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 As I recall a school doesn't have to be at 85 or less until August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronCrazy 1,042 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 This was a "processing" issue to make room for the 85 limit. This was clearly a character issue. Bessent has been on a tight leash since he arrived. Evidently he didn't live up the stipulations that Malzahn set in place. Very disappointing. Kid has real talent and could have been a big contributor for us next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,466 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 As I recall a school doesn't have to be at 85 or less until August. That changed a couple of years ago. Now a school can never be over 85 without severe penalties. The excellent list pinned at the top of this forum is not an attempt to address the 85 limit. It's a snapshot of what the team will look like next year if nothing unexpected happens. The unexpected always happens. Right now, guys that were seniors last season are still on scholarship and will remain so until the end of May. New guys don't count yet unless they were early enrolees. More will drop off in the months to come. Some signees may not qualify. Golson will go on scholarship but he's not on yet. It's always a fluid situation. Bessent is the eighth unexpected dropoff since last August 1st. There will be more, there always are after spring practice and over the summer.

auburnphan 6,050 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 He left to move closer to his two kids, 4 and 2. The fact that he was a 160 pounds was an obvious redshirt, do some research.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
